Love felt, Loss Experienced, Lessons Learned

With 2025 being less than 24hrs away I’m taking this day to rest and recharge. I’m hydrating, building my schedule and setting intentions for the new year. 2024 was incredible because I experienced love, suffered loss and learned lessons. All of those things have helped put me closer to where I strive to be and I’m so grateful. I want to encompass love and I want to embody light. I want to continue inspiring others and giving voice to those who feel silenced. I want to continue empowering those who feel helpless and give direction to those seeking guidance.

10 years ago I never expected to live long enough to see adulthood. I was self inflicted, suicidal and felt hopeless. Now, almost 11 years later I’m alive and thriving, not navigating on autopilot and surviving. 2024 brought me 2 years sobriety and 5 years clean of self harm. It brought me 2 almost 3 years into therapy and 2 almost 3 years of actively volunteering in my community and others. I have so much love and hope inside of me that I can physically feel my heart racing from excitement.

Come 2025 I will continue to love, process my grievances from loss and apply the lessons learned. I don’t doubt for a second that challenges will follow but I’m okay with that. I take adversity as opportunity to improve myself in one way or the other and I look forward to it. 2025 will be my year of continuous succession as I hope it will be for others. I hope the rest of this year and next will be great to myself and everyone else who may be struggling with silent battles they’re fighting or other hardships they don’t speak on.
