Happy New Year

Happy New Year and welcome 2023! 

I know so many of us are ready to start a new year and leave the old one behind. First, as much as I too am ready, we must also remember all the good that happened in 2023. I know for me personally not everything in 2022 was terrible. Although, I wanted to achieve more (and will in 2023) I made some good friends and became even closer to the ones I already had. Especially, my best friend. 

Every single experience that you have in life will eventually get you where you need to be. Every success, loss, every mistake. Don’t be afraid to get lost and take chances and keep kicking life’s ass each and every day!

Repeat after me
I am beautiful
I am strong
I am confident
I am worthy
I am loved
I will not settle
I will not give up
I will not back down
I WILL SURVIVE

I know so many are struggling right now and I’m here to tell you that things will get better. There is always light within the darkness (as Christopher tells me) I’m here for you, you’re never alone with me. Happy New Year to each and every one of you. May this be the best year yet!

Packing away memories

So, as I’m putting away all the Christmas decor today, I’m thinking of you. Thinking of all the memories we made and the love we shared. I wish I could have had you longer in life, but it wasn’t meant to be. I’m sorry you couldn’t stay.

This is the last thing you gave me before you left and it is still one of my favorite things, ever. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since you left because to me it feels like it’s been a lifetime. I hate how things feel so different now without you; nothing will ever be the same. 

Until we met again, I’ll visit you in my dreams and keep you alive in the memories I carry with me. 

though your body
is now free
and your soul
is at rest
I miss you 
and I wish
you were here
