New Year

Happy New Year! I am happy to be moving on from 2019 because my 2019 was basically a dumpster fire. The year was full of stress, and anger, and uncertainty, and did I mention stress? I struggled deeply with having my full-time job and my hobby in the same industry, to the point where I found a new hobby to level me out.

I learned a lot about myself this past year and what I want, and don’t want, out of life moving forward. Hint: stress is not on the list. 😉 One of the books I read in 2019 was The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and I honestly had it on my reading list because I thought that it was going to be about telling people to F-Off. Fun fact, it’s not about telling people to f-off but rather that life is too short to give a f*ck about every little problem you come across.

“Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.”

All 30 years of my life I have been the person to stick their head in the sand, or put up a facade of being okay. I’d let my fears and worries rule me. It wasn’t until the tail end of 2019 that I started embracing that sometimes things are going to suck, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Overall I’m excited about the new year and looking forward to what life is gonna throw at me in 2020.
