I don't typically give insights to my personal views/feelings to the public, but today I'm going to. Those views/feelings are going right here, where I have a following. Having said that, I thank each and every one of you for following the page and interacting through my journey with rabbits. Let's also all remember that behind every single FB page, there are real live people with real life situations. Sometimes we mess up. Sometimes we have a bad day. Sometimes we're in a rough patch. Sometimes we love it, sometimes we're meh, and sometimes we just want to walk away from it all.
The past 2+ years have been tough. Real tough. Life has kicked me square in the ass, and a lot of that is my fault. A lot of it is not. I've struggled to find the drive to take this as serious as I once did. There's been a lot of things that have pushed hobbies to the back seat. There's been a lot of things that have made me wonder why I even do this anymore when there are way bigger fish to fry in my life. At the same time, as crazy as it may sound to some, this hobby has also kept me afloat many many times. It's been a distraction. It's been a joy. It's been a focus, a desire, a goal. It's been me.
There's been many times that I have been mind blown at the attitude and vicious competitiveness that some have had over the course of my rabbit journey. I've made many friends in this space, some of which I will never lose contact with. There's also been others that have come and gone. Some of which I never saw coming. Some of which made me question myself, some of which have not. Just like anything else, you eventually learn who your true friends are when you face adversity and look for rock bottom guidance in your struggles. Today, as I sit here now, I can safely say I'm in a good space. Today, I'm happy with where I am, happy with who is around me, and happy where I'm heading. Today, I'm proud to look at where I started, where I am, and where I'm heading.
This next part is for several people out there that may have a different view of me. For those that have reached out via messenger and received no response. For those that have seen me at a show and saw me quiet. For those that have asked for stock, guidance, or convo and got minimal interaction back, I am sorry. No excuses, I am sorry....but also know that I've been trying to stay afloat. And, I am afloat. I am moving forward.
My original goal with making my page was never to showcase my rabbits. It was never to sell for money. It was to enter the space, prove myself, and show the rabbit world that it doesn't have to be ugly. It doesn't have to be "look at me". It doesn't have to be "I am the best". My original goal was to try to bring rex rabbits higher than I found them, expand the participants in the hobby, and leave the hobby better than I found it. And that is exactly what I'm going to do.
Join me in that. Let's all make this space better today than it was yesterday.
This next year will look a lot different than the last few have. This next year will embrace my original thoughts and goals. This next year will be for rex rabbits.
