Reflecting on another trip around the sun, I never anticipated being in the place I find myself today, but I'm sincerely grateful just to be alive. The past several months have brought a multitude of changes in every aspect of my life. My biggest hurdle has been navigating change, as fear seeps in. Will I be alright? Can I overcome this? However, amidst it all, I am immensely thankful for this chapter. I hold nothing but love for it—the moments, the blessings, the setbacks, the good and the bad days. The more I began to accept this, I began to see magical changes in my life. It’s okay to be a work in progress, everyday is a step forward..and whether it’s a small or large step, the motion is still forward. Reminding myself that the most courageous thing you can do is love yourself. To love yourself through all the cracks and dents that life sometimes leave you with. It's about falling repeatedly and finding the strength to rise again. Love unconditionally, without inhibitions, and be a little delulu, or a lot, who cares! As I enter the new year, I honor the past one, with my heart wide open ready to rediscover myself, to foster old and new friendships, to love, to new experiences, and to reaffirm the belief that life is truly worth living 🦀 🌊
