Happy 2019 Everyone!


Is it to late to say happy 2019? We're like halfway through January and I'm a little late to the bandwagon of talking about how great my 2018 was and my goals for 2019. I haven't posted anything in a good while, and a few seconds ago a strong urge came over me to stop binge watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch on Hulu and write something. I have a couple of cool ideas that I've been working on writing, but I felt like before I could post them I needed to catch anyone who follows my life up to date. So with out further or do, lets get started! 

2018 was such a weird year. Like I was struggling and dealing with mental health issues, but at the same time it was such an enlightening year. What was even weirder about 2018 was that I feel like everyone went through there own version of that. A lot of people have been saying that 2018 was a rough one, but that they came out stronger. I don't know, maybe it's just my age group and we're just at that age where life hits us all hard and we hate it, but we're also so grateful for coming out stronger. 

So yeah, in 2018 I worked at a job I hated, became extremely homesick during my second semester of college, and I lost my inner-self for a little bit, but among all the rough patches that 
I faced I had a lot to be thankful for. I quit the job I hated, and moved back home for the summer, worked a job I liked, then moved back to school, proved to myself that I didn't need anyone but myself to be happy, and best of all I became an Aunt. 

During August I went through some major life changes which, I've already talked about on my blog. Those changes helped me realize that I needed to learn who I was again, so I started a series called the Discovering Me Chapters ( I know, I suck at names). I was really proud of this series and the writing I put in to it. However, I got three chapters in and stopped. That's really why I wanted to give readers an update on why I haven't been posting more to that series. 

There's a lot of reasons why I quit writing for while. The biggest reason being, I became an aunt. When I became an aunt I felt the excessive need to be at my brother and his wife's beck and call 24 hours a day. There were days I would go over and make dinner for them there were days I would take my school work and just sit in the floor studying while I watched the baby so they could rest. But yeah, I became busy with that. 

After the semester and my holiday job as an elf ended, I wanted to start writing again and give everyone an update on the discovering me series, because I have so much to be proud of from where I left off on that series. I really wanted to share those moments with everyone, and I will eventually. However, there are moments when I feel discouraged to share what I create or write, because I see others work and feel like I'm average. Like everyone is out there making better content, or writing better stories than me and I sometimes I get discouraged to hit the share button because of that. 

In 2019 I really hope to change that. I hope to write more, post more, take more pictures and get better at it. Overall, I hope that I can start to appreciate my own work for what it is and not worry about what others think.  

So, 
until next time, 
Here's to the New Year 
And as always, 
Thanks for reading.
