I know that so much of this year was objectively awful. But it’s hard not to see this as the best year of my life, or at least the start of something truly amazing. I feel like this year transformed me.
I got out of two very bad relationships, and began healing from a lot of really toxic rhetoric. As a result, my anxiety is lower than it’s been in YEARS. I used to frequently lay awake all night unable to sleep. I’ve not done that in months now.
I solidified my own politics. I read a *lot* of books, and took baby steps toward being involved in my communities in more meaningful & fulfilling ways.
I found true love. The kind of love that feels like coming home. The kind of love they write poetry about. The kind of love I didn’t believe existed before.
I got enrolled back in school to pursue things I am passionate about. I’m chomping at the bit for my classes to begin. I haven’t been this excited to start something in so long.
The biggest transformation, though, has been in my own head. I believe in myself again. I stopped doing things out of obligation, and started being very intentional about who I spent time with and how I spent my time. As a result, I feel so joyful and productive.
I hope 2020 brought you more than just isolation and struggle, too. And if it didn’t, I hope 2021 brings renewal and hope. So excited to continue connecting with you all in the New Year.
