“All I got is these broken clocks, I ain’t got no time just….burning daylight” SZA
Another year that I am grateful to see, and I plan to make the best of it. This day is one where I always reflect on where my life has been and where I want it to go. Through every hardship and heartache, I am still here. Bruised and scarred but wiser and thankful to have another year to prove my self to myself. The goal is to make the next 364 bigger and better than the last 364 and I know that I cannot do it alone. I have some really valuable people in my circle who pour into me in priceless ways I could never repay. This year will see some big life changes that will put me in a better position to flourish, and I am vowing to dedicate more time to make my dreams my reality. And pouring back into those souls who pour into me.
But I cannot pour from an empty cup.

I will seek the proper resources to better my mental health and continue encouraging others to do the same. It’s time to be a little selfish and give myself room to grow. I am a garden that needs to be cultivated and I have to continue to be reminded to make time and make room for life to happen. Isn’t that sad? I am an overworked millennial who works sunup to sundown and wake up sometimes forgetting what day it is. I need a shift in every sense of the word, but I will still challenge myself. Not at the cost of my peace, but to the betterment to my skills and utilization of my platform. I aim to work smarter and not harder. I am too young with too much potential to accept defeat. Quite frankly, IT AINT HAPPENIN’
Here’s to more life, more laughs, more positive experiences,and more love. Less stress, no mess, less tears, and no fears.
Divide and conquer. Wins all 2019.
