warning: long caption!
i wasn’t gonna post this bc it’s 2023 now, but i’m trying to leave fear and regret behind, so enjoy!
in 2022, i…
~ had an internship! took the fall 2021 semester off and did a pharm tech course during that time (yes, i left school to go to school😭). in jan, i interned at a pharmacy and enjoyed it!
~ was diagnosed with predominantly inattentive ADHD. might give this one its own post someday, so rn all I’ll say is that i’m still learning how to manage my symptoms to my benefit <3
~ stepped out of my comfort zone. since i transferred to Hunter in feb, i’ve joined a faith based club. it encouraged me to be more social, which helped me build the confidence to live life more freely. compliment strangers! go to concerts alone! unapologetically dance to music from the cars passing by! (all things i did last year btw!) life is too short not to.
~ dabbled in fashion?? i’ve always been fascinated by the human body and it’s inner workings, but last year i became captivated by how clothing portrays the beauty of both the body and soul. anyways, look at this cool shirt i made!! (i actually made 3 shirts over the summer; this one was my favorite. it was hard bc i don’t have a sewing machine and didn’t take any measurements, just dove in headfirst. 10hrs later, i had this masterpiece that i wore that night to see Kehlani. never doing that again lol)
~ went to at least 10 concerts! here’s me crying bc my sister unexpectedly sent me money to see my top streamed artist of 2022 perform live😭
~ nurtured my personal relationships, old and new. last year i was intentional with the time i spent around others, making sure we were fostering a deeper connection and supporting one another.
~ went to the ER😛 i gave myself two corneal abrasions while getting ready for a concert. word to the wise - don’t use a pencil to separate your lashes😂 the concert was worth it tho🫡
~ appreciated the little things. how music makes me feel; how my favorite starbies order tastes; the world around me. the experience of life itself. (if you order this drink lmk what you think!)
i’m truly excited to see what happens on this next trip around the sun! thanks for reading🫶🏾
