I think I’ve figured it out...

Instead of worrying about every lil thing and trying to plan out every single day, I’ll just go with the flow..

I’m typically an easy going person anyways but my overthinking gets the best of me and I worry a lot about future stability. Last year, I just didn’t though. I took every day as it came and tried to make the most of it. I allowed some to make decisions without butting in. I encouraged people to love and accept. I did my own thing for once and took a few huge leaps. Luckily landed on two feet.

As a result I’m now with an incredible partner, who finally proposed and we’re getting married in less than 100 days

I’ve lived on my own for about a year now, but we also just bought a giant house!

Lost my job during lockdown, but took the time to go through my own inventory and started up my own shop again, considering more opportunities

Bought my first functional car! Used of course but I feel more comfortable getting around now

I mended some relationships that I didn’t know were able to be fixed

I suppose most importantly I learned to accept myself inside and out. I’m beautiful to me and my partner and inside I’m smart and fun and big hearted. I’ll always work on myself to be able to improve the lives of others

There have been a lot of big physical accomplishments but honestly the ones I’m proud of most are mental. I simply feel better than I ever had. I still have bad days and always will but it’s better than it was before and being able to acknowledge that is huge for me. There were a lot of downs this past year too but I tried my best to stay strong, since that seemed to be all I could do. Life doesn’t feel that hard for right now..

Why is it so difficult to do something you know will improve your life?? Seriously just live in the moment. There’s a level of healthy future planning and balancing it out with completing present projects or actions. It’s not sunshine and rainbows all the time but there are brighter days and easy nights. Truly hope others are able to accomplish something big this year, even with all the chaos around us. Stay strong 🖤
