woweee!! 2023 what a year.
With each new year comes a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting to be filled with stories of growth and success.
WOWEEEE!! I cannot believe it 2023 is coming to an end. I don’t know about you but I feel like I have blinked and the days, the weeks, and the months have flown by so quickly. 2023 started off not how I expected it too. My mental health was suffering greatly and I just felt stuck. I felt like I was suffocating alive. I just felt like lost. It was quite a scary time not knowing how I was going to come out the other end. I am super grateful for my friends/sisters in life who stood beside me regardless of how my life was unraveling before me and before them. The many prayers they prayed and words of wisdom that they shared with me. I felt so loved and undeserving of this love. This season in my life reiterated what an amazing group of friends I have that I will forever be grateful for.
Some friendships suffered gravedly and some didn’t survived 2023. The pain and grief of losing lifelong friendship is not for the faint hearted. There are positives in pain. Maybe in 2024 I will write more about navigating friendships. I have learnt a whole lot about myself and my character. I have tried hard to work on and grow in the areas I felt I needed to grow in. I have practised setting healthy boundaries and putting myself first. I have listened more to my gut instincts which 99% of the time is always right. I have practised self care and gratitude more. I have tried to remain open and vulnerable even when my natural instinct is to be a closed book with the strongest militant wall around me.
I have laughed some belly laughs and cried some sad and happy tears.
I started this blog in March not knowing if anyone will read the post or even relate and engage with the topics. Thank you so much for sticking beside this blog and reading every post bi weekly. I would love to know what was your favourite post was and what you would to like to read more about in 2024. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this blog. It has been very healing and therapeutic for me. I have loved reading your comments and messages saying how much you have enjoyed reading the posts and the topics I have written about.
As the year comes to an end. I am happy and content with where I am in life. I haven’t found my financially stable God fearing man or had any children. But I am happy. My mental health is in a great place and I am meticulously taking my vitamins. I have a great skin care routine and my edges are returning. I am hopeful for the future and what God has in store for my life in 2024.
I wish you the Happiest of Happiest New Year!!. Keep shining, keep smiling.
