Have you ever felt like the only person that believes in you, is you? Part of my 2024 blogging goals included re-sharing posts from my previous (now-dead) blogs, to keep those memories and update the content for further value now. One post that has always stood out in my mind is this one, I'm Still Here, about choosing myself when a YouTube network I used to work with decided to drop me.

Rebecca in 2026 here to let you know this is a post from the archives! After switching blog platforms, I saved copies of some of my favorite memories to reshare. Enjoy this look into my first and, so far, only half marathon. While I was initially excited at the thought of doing it again, it feels so far away from my life now that I don't know if I ever would re-attempt it. Regardless, it was a special bonding experience with my then-fiancé. I'd recommend runDisney's Princess
