A reflection on the year that was…
How was 2018 for me? Well, 2018 was a weird one, it sucked at times, was good for others but most of all, I am so ready to leave it behind.
I came into it with serious low health, both physically and mentally, and I’ve had to change my thyroid medication more times than I would care for (the side effects are far from pleasant). I gained another nephew and my first Godson which is a joyous occasion, but we also lost my paternal grandmother which was a shock to the system. It’s hard to understand how in a year you await to gain a new addition to the family, you could loose another. You couldn’t make sense of this world sometimes.
I have seen the real truth behind people and their agendas, and it became clear as to who I should put my faith and trust into. I know who genuinely cares for me and who doesn’t, and I am happy to cut ties with some and give my attention to others.
I turned 22 towards the end of this year and it gave me the opportunity to think about myself and where I am headed. My sole focus for the next while is going to be on myself and regaining my strength and health.
I didn’t read as many books as I would have liked to, but I watched many great films and fell in love with new music. I got to a few gigs when I was able and now have memories I will keep forever. I have cried and I have laughed, felt pain and found hope, but 2018, you have been a rollercoaster of emotion that I will happily leave behind. You tried breaking me down but I found the pieces I need to built myself back up.
Whatever your 2018 brought, I hope you find the peace to leave it behind you and the will to go on. Here’s to a happier, healthier and shiny new year. 2019, I am ready for YOU! ❤️
2018 was a really weird mix of feeling happy and sad for so many people
I’m so sorry you lost your grandmother, but also congratulations on your new nephew! 2019 is going to be a better year! I can feel it💕
