Goodbye 2022

 Happy New Year!

 What a wild ride this year was! There were adventures, new opportunities, lessons to learn, and unexpected surprises.


   I learned those good things come to those who wait. When it seems like you're about to lose hope, something you're manifesting will come. Like I mentioned in my birthday post, I hadn't had the best luck with dating. However, this year changed when I finally met my loving and kind fiancé. I never thought he would be my last first date. He has been so sweet and supportive of me; I do my best to give that support in return. Being in a long-term relationship has taught me many important things: Put your partner's needs before yours, compromise, hear what the other person has to say, have calm conversations, especially when the topic is challenging, and lastly, make time for each other. 

 My fiancé and I will be getting married this summer, and we will be together forever, and that's the number one thing I am looking forward to in 2023. 

 Another thing I learned this year is things happen for a reason. I know that sounds cliché, but it's true. Things changing has been a fear of mine, but in 2022 I have learned to embrace it. I'm actually still learning how to embrace it. I am not fully there yet, but I am making progress. I will do my best to progress even further in 2023. 

     In life, there will be hard times. No one is immune to them. There will also be times when people you thought would be in your life indefinitely will no longer be there. It could end on good terms or bad, but we all need to work hard on staying on good terms with people. Sometimes friendships aren't meant to work out. This scenario opened the door to reuniting with old friends and having better relationships with them. Take the time to look and see the good people who enhance and positively influence your life. Be around people who make you feel good about yourself. What will you do to make someone feel good about themselves this upcoming year?

 I've written this a lot in previous posts but take the time to see the vital things in life. Spending quality time with my family has always opened my eyes to those critical things. Some things that seem important will be less necessary in the long run. The family has your best interest and wants you to be happy. Families will have disagreements, but that doesn't take away their love for each other. 

 The little things in life do have a significant meaning. 

One thing I'm taking with me into 2023 is the mantra, "My time is now." 

I am so excited to see what this new year will bring and I'm ready to take the next step in the new chapter of my life. 

2023, I'm ready. ❤️

Being Strong in a Chaotic World

We are often told by the world that we are weak. No matter what challenges you face, remember that you possess the strength to overcome them. You are enough, just as you are. Believe in yourself and the possibilities that await you. You have the power to create a life that you love and to be your own source of strength and joy. It’s okay to be scared and feel negative emotions, it means you are human. The world hasn’t gone soft, but it’s making expressing emotions more vital to physical and mental health. There is nothing weak about being vulnerable. I strongly disagree with the notion that showing emotions and vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Johnny Depp said this amazing quote about vulnerability, “People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.”

Patience

-
I have lived in Arizona for about four months now and it has been a big change, but I know it was for my own good. It was a plan B after getting out of a toxic relationship. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I’m doing my best to be optimistic and patient. I have always been a believer that things happen for a reason and they do. Having patience is the best way to go. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

My 2023

-
My biggest lesson this year has been that life does not always go as planned. My plan for this year was to settle down and get married, but after realizing the toxic nature of the relationship, I left and started a new life in Arizona. As a result of my fear of the unknown, I found it difficult to take this step.  But with the support of close friends and my determination to create a better future for myself, I made the courageous decision to leave it all behind and start over. I discovered new things about myself and how capable I am to be successful in life. I was also inspired creatively and I discovered new hobbies.  I made new friends and made new connections. I can’t wait to see what 2024 will have in store. I will go into this new year with an open mind and heart.
