Hello 2019, Goodbye 2018.
I’d like to take the opportunity and reflect back on what a great year 2018 has been. 2018 was full of lessons, adventure, love, laughter, and cries. January started slow, however I was very optimistic for a great year to begin. One of my many resolutions for 2018 was to hit the gym, and I am proud to say that its become a lifestyle that I truly enjoy and will continue in 2019. I remember it was around this time when babe got the call that changed ours lives in a major way. I just couldn’t come to terms to what was truly happening and how fast it felt like the direction of our lives was going. Spring 2018 semester was stressful af, I remember feeling like a heavy was weight lifted off my shoulders as soon as it was over. Babes birthday was one for the books back in May, everything was going great, I had just finished the semester, babes career had taken off, we went to our first music festival together, got Audrey, and were amongst our favorite people and awaiting our trips to Savannah, Texas, and Electric Forest. At the time it felt like “Nothing could get any better than this.” Life surely knew how to quickly humble us. I felt a sign that let me know we’ve made a naive mistake however, God had a plan for us - we got a second chance at getting things right again and I cannot thank my luckiest stars for one of the greatest lessons I’ve learned because of it. My mini vacation in Texas was a nice get away, it was really nice to connect and form a more deeper bond with my long distance cousin, I know for sure it’ll always be a blast when I visit. soon after I got back from Texas we were preparing for our long awaited weekend getaway to Electric Forest. It was exactly what we needed and nothing we had ever expected, all we knew was that at this one exact pinpoint moment there was “No place we’d rather be.” I wish I took the time to reflect back on my experience when we got back to reality however it was one of the hardest bounce back for me ever, but I managed! from this point on it felt like another separate year had taken place. I had just finished applying to classes, late af again but landed myself in 3 8am classes. and lawwwd I thought I was going to die. but nope!! I found that I am a morning person. I was able to pick up a daily schedule that kept things in order. This may have been the best semester for me ever. I am proud of all the efforts and time I have dedicated towards school and I know it wouldn’t have been possible without the loving and supporting people in my life. I am ready to dive back in again and finish already! I also celebrated my 21st and it was everything I had imagine, yet may have been even better. The night went by so fast but I’ll never forget it, and will be forever grateful. The end of 2018 ended great surrounded with all the people we love. 2019 has already begun as it is currently day 3. We’ve been blessed with yet another gift and test moving forward into 2019. I am hoping we make better decisions than we did in 2018 and take the lessons we’ve learned with us into 2019 and make this year, the year we get our foots out the door and into a whole other world of adulthood that prepares us for whatever life tries to throws at us. I feel like this year is not gonna be an easy one, however I feel like the pay off will be bigger than anything I’ve ever experienced or could ever expect. I am so afraid, yet excited. I plan to make the most of it all and continue on working on becoming the best possible version of myself. My resolution for 2019 is to be more in touch with myself, discover how to reach inner peace within my heart and soul, to try to be more understanding of babe and most importantly being better at communicating when the opportunity is present before the chance slips away, because regret can last a lifetime. 2019 please be the year that shows me that all the hard work is or will pay off. I look forward to taking on the challenges and gain the greatest gift of them all which is wisdom. cheers to a beautiful 2018, and the start of a magnificent 2019.
