2018 in a nutshell

2018 has passed and left me with…contentedness. It was a year of full-time working and attempting to be an adult, but mostly failing and falling in every sense. I developed an allergy that I never had before. I wish I had traveled more, I wish I would have listened to my body more and I wish I would not have listened to my heart that much. But that doesn’t mean I did not learn a lot. I worked out harder than I have in years, I was more social, stepped out of my comfort zone and met a lot of new cool people. I lost myself at one point and made a short trip to my happy place to re-center myself, and in the end I am content. I am not my happiest, but I am okay.

PS! I’m sorry if I have been spaced out, disconnected or distant this year. I have no excuses except for the facts that it has been a rough year (which is my own fault in a way) and that mental illnesses are illnesses too and they come and go in waves. Here’s to a better 2019!
