See You In 2020!!!

Hey, y’all, hey! 2019 is coming to a close and I am not sad to see it go! Can I just tell you all how dope you have been to me? The support has been real from everyone. I cannot thank you enough! I just wanted to pop in with a quick update and recap of the year.

This year took me through the ringer! It is not a secret that I lost my father this year. What you probably didn’t know was that just a few short months later, I lost my grandfather. I wasn’t even done grieving my dad yet, and another influential man in my life was gone. Sad to say, but many of my so-called friends left me high ad dry. Not a call, not a text, not a peep! To say I was hurting would be an understatement. I felt like I was drowning in plain sight, and nobody gave me a second glance. All the ways I attempted to ask for help without actually saying I needed help did not go as planned. Go figure, ha!

It took me a moment to realize that I had stopped writing. Journals. Poetry. Posts for this very blog. It took a good friend to ask me when was the last time I’d read a book for me to realize I’d stopped reading as well. Those close to me, or just those who know me in general, know this is a big deal for me. Reading and writing are probably the biggest pieces of my life. I knew something was really wrong. So what did I do? Therapy! Hello! Bingo! Yahtzee! Yasss, honey! I stated seeing a psychologist and it’s made all the difference. Sometimes we go through things and it’s hard to talk about with those we know and love because we believe they don’t, won’t, or can’t understand what we are going through. While I’m not one hundred percent yet, I feel like my sassy, goofy, love-to-make-you-laugh self again. Did you miss me? 🙂

The year wasn’t all bad, though. I still had some amazing moments. I bought a house. That’s right, y’all, I’m a homeowner! (Side note: ask me how dope my real estate agent is because she is bomb!) I hit a milestone with college. Come through, diploma! I celebrated my 31st birthday, which is a miracle in itself. I solidified some existing friendships, reconnected with old friends and gained some new and amazing friends. Most importantly, though … I regained myself, my purpose, and my mentality that I will win no matter what! 

Y’all know how I do! I created my vision board for 2020, wrote out my S.M.A.R.T. goals to highlight my major focuses and how I plan to get there, and secured myself an accountability partner to keep me on the up and up. While I know I will be putting in more work than ever before, I am so excited to work hard and get to where I’m going! SEE YOU IN 2020!!!
