Goodbye 2017



Dear 2017, 

You were definitely a difficult year. You might definitely be in the running for one of the worst years. This year I was tested - emotionally, mentally, and physically. You were filled with a lot of rocky moments - losing myself, my confidence, and my spark. You made me question everything; I had friendships end, I gave up on several things, and I dealt with a lot of mean people. You kicked me when I was down. Oh and anxiety - anxiety definitely got the best of me. I'll write more about my struggle with anxiety and what I do about it, later on.

2017, you weren't 100% bad though; because of the events that occurred during your 365 I had friendships begin, I had strangers believe me and motivate me. I found my spark again. I learned how to pick myself up. I learned that sometimes strangers have the best intentions. I learned that sometimes people you think are close to you, actually don't have the best intentions. I learned that as long as I believe in myself and love myself nothing can stand in my way. I learned how to pick myself back up. I learned what makes me happy. I will go into further detail about the things I've learned from 2017 and how I am taking that into 2018 to achieve my resolutions.

2017, although you were quite difficult, I will look at the positive, glass half full, and thank you for making me a better version of myself. Thank you 2017 for helping me learn and become into a stronger version of myself. Thank you 2017 for being an eye-opener. Although I am grateful to have learned from 2017, I am so ready to close the book of 2017 and start a new book, with 365 fresh empty pages.

Sincerely,
The girl who hopes to never repeat any of these events again

Thanksgiving




Happy Thanksgiving! 

I hope you all have an amazing time with your loved ones. This year I am thankful for all the good that has occurred in my life this year. But I am also thankful for the trying moments and the moments that weren't all so pleasant. I am also thankful for these moments because they helped me not only learn but become a better person. Overall, I am thankful for this entire year and all the special people in my life. Thank you for sticking by my side, thank you for laughing, smiling, celebrating, crying and learning along with me. 

I hope you all have the best Thanksgiving with your loved ones -- filled with so many laughs, good times and reminiscing on memories.
