31 is almost here.... so I thought I'd sum up my last year of life and what I've experienced.
So I’ve been thinking a lot about this last year, my life has changed on every single level. I got out of a relationship, got a job in Oregon, moved to Oregon, and learned to do life alone.
Starting over was a humbling and also extremely difficult chapter for me. This was my first time I had lived alone without roomies or a significant other. Just Sadie and I. Now, I’m happy as can be that it’s just her and I thriving.
Anyways, it was a very rough year for me. A lot of ups and downs, same as any year, however I’m choosing to look back at the good!
Notable highlights of year 30 (technically 31 bc 0-12 months but whatever)

Tried a-lot of new restaurants in Oregon

Found the right anxiety/depression meds with my psychiatrist
Found myself and the confidence I have craved my entirely life.
Honestly, I could go on but the fact of the matter is no matter how low a year may seem there are highlights and I choose to look at life as a glass half full. Although I have had some heartbreak, regrets, depression, etc.. it was an over all great year of life and I plan to make 31 the best one yet. I've never been happier with myself. Peace is the best aging defense. I feel like I'm aging with beauty and grace. Every new year feels like a blessing in a sense and I can't wait to see what life brings me next.
Coming soon: Trip to KC and my 2 week trip to Italy and Greece/Cruise to the Greek Islands
Life is amazing and I plan to keep living it to the fullest. 👏🏼
