december came and went, just like this year has flown by us.
thirty has been the most challenging year of my life. this year i battled fiercely with my mental health, and at some moments no longer wished to be on this earth.
as the year comes to a close, in the last few months since getting diagnosed with OCD, i have found an immense amount of joy again. i feel like myself again. and for the first time in what feels like an eternity, i am actually hopeful for what’s to come.
i feel more alive than i have my entire life. and that’s all thanks to the friends and family who have carried me through this year. who have always been at my side and shown me just what true love actually is. i am so thankful for all the connection i’ve made this year, and can’t wait to see those connections continue to prosper. the amount of love i have in my life i will be eternally thankful for.
lastly, as i reflect on this past year, im proud of myself, for staying here and trying. for learning to love myself for all parts of me, good and bad. for embracing who i am and for once, learning to truly take care of myself. because i finally realized i deserve it. thank you for the lessons, love, tears, and laughs. thirty is one year ill never forget. im glad i stayed around :’)
happy birthday to my beautiful, talented, kind hearted, fiery, selfless best friend. i love you more than words can describe. to know you is to love you. thank you for always standing by my side, till death 🖤
