hey girl!
long time no talk.
I hope you are enjoying the holiday season the best you can & are ready for new beginnings in 2021!
yes. I said looking forward to new beginnings in 2021.
2020 was HARD.
SO HARD.
I recently listened to a podcast that said
“ if you’re not living your life in a way that you would want to be around yourself, then why would you want anyone else to be around that person.”
take a minute to look back on this past year.
hold that thought.
now. think of a negative from this year.
yes. I just asked you to point out the negatives.
I bet a thousand just popped in your head.
now. think of a positive.
can you find any?
as the holiday season began to stroll in, I got sad. I got really sad.
I could feel myself slowly getting down & feeling out of place.
it is so hard to find the joy when every thing that you have been used to your whole life has been completely held at a stop still.
I come from a big family. a huge loving family. one that I have forever been thankful for, but as of this year realized I have overlooked.
when I say overlooked. I don’t mean I haven’t been thankful or never valued my family.
instead, I have found myself getting so caught up in every day life that I forget to stop & live in the present.
as humans we are so likely to get caught up in materialistic objects, planning for the next 5 minutes of our day, & going through the motions of routine.
we so easily overlook the little moments in life & find ourselves taking advantage of
what is most important.
time.
2020 was HARD
it was a year full of anxiety, missed holiday celebrations, no spring break vacations, & changes in post - college graduation plans.
it was also the year
I got engaged to the love of my life
the year I healed
a year of self love & growth
one where I learned to live in the moment
the year I believed in myself & dreams
believe me.
I
know
2020 was HARD.
it was so HARD
it was also so SPECIAL.
hear me out.
it was a year where we got to take a step back from the hustle of life & actually enjoy the moments we live for without actually enjoying the moments.
let me say that again.
it was the year we got to stop & enjoy the moments we live for without actually enjoying the moments.
if 2020 has taught me anything. it taught me to
live in the moment
never leave without saying I love you
god’s plan always over our plan
&
most of all
never take time for granted.
I hope that even though 2020 was HARD.
It was also a year of growth. love. & lessons.
here is to 2021.
