For real though! I came to this realization last week- I’ve been working from home with no social life for the last 8 years. I was awkward as f- in social situations. I had social anxiety and still working on it.

Started Jiu Jitsu because I wanted something to fill in my time in the evenings. Reality is- I was lonely and depressed. Realized martial arts was my happy place years ago and needed something new. Tried a bunch of schools in different styles out. Jumped into a no gi class and haven’t looked back!

Ironically so far It’s exactly what I needed! A year in soon and Im not afraid to join conversations and learning to ask people for help to figure out things. Definitely been a ride so far! Still have a ways to go but I’m getting closer to that girl I once knew.
