​Let’s toast to growth in all aspects of life in 2019.
So, I thought it was a good idea to start this post early before I drown myself in champagne and regret, and this post becomes an afterthought.
I kind of have no clue what I want to say in this post. I do know that I needed to write something, as I’ve been extremely lazy in 2018. I promise to do better. I’ve been a shitty “blogger” this year, but I have to say THANK YOU to everyone who pressed me often about my lack of contribution here. While, I didn’t do much, the words never left my head. I’m grateful, I promise.
It’s a bit crazy. Blogging should be easy - you’re alone writing your thoughts. What could be so hard about that? No clue. I’ll never be able to explain the struggle.
Before I go, there’s a few things I wanted to share before I sign off and attempt to get my life together. You’ve probably heard this before, but don’t be afraid to adventure outside of your comfort zone. What does that even mean? To me, it’s literally doing things that you want to do, but wouldn’t normally do.
Do shit that makes you uncomfortable. This year, I traveled overseas to Thailand and partied with a bunch of people I’d never met before. Crazy? Yeah, I’d say so! But it was one of the best experiences of my life, and not waiting for people and just going made that possible. I didn’t go alone, though. Shoutout Kiya.
Being bored shouldn’t always suck. I get bored often, and most times I don’t know how to make those times productive. Working on that in 2019!
Stop waiting! This has been my biggest downfall probably my whole life, LOL. I often want to do things, but when I don’t have someone to latch on to I lose out on an experience. One that I would have probably enjoyed just as much alone. Nothing good comes for waiting on other people. Well, in the sense of adventure - just go. This is a bit of a repeat of #1, but i’m passionate about it.
Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. As much as I think being selfish is incredibly important, it’s often necessary to empathize and understand folks POV. It can be difficult, but can be incredibly eye-opening.
I could probably keep going, but I’ll leave it at this! I hope to earn your support going forward. Happy New Year to you, your friends and family. Let’s get it in 2019. ✨
