Goodbye 2019 Ill miss ya

Its almost the end of 2019.

Its tradition to make new year resolutions, but is there a tradition to self reflect on the year that has gone by?

What did 2019 bring you ?

Ive learned one thing from my 34 years of life and that is time goes by fast, every year comes and goes, but do we ever stop and reflect on what the one year gave us?

Whether its new experiences, bad or good ones, new people you just meet or having to say goodbye to some.

For me 2019 was a great year, it started rough, with me still getting over my past relationship, but when spring came around, I was feeling like myself again, with a new energy boost to do new things.

I started streaming my games for the first time in the summer, and found my passion for it.

It was the year of trying things I was too scared of trying before.

It was the year of ted talks and watching psychology lectures on you tube.

I meet my boyfriend in 2019 and went to visit him for the first time in the fall.

I meet a few friends, who became very close, and went to see one of them as well.

The biggest thing I gained this year, was letting myself be brave and just jump into new things without worrying about it to much, and just let things happen.

You never know what hand life deals you, but its how you handle it that matters.

And I sit here, reflecting on 2019 and I’m feeling proud of how I handled the rough situations that got thrown my way, and how I choose to keep moving forward instead of standing still, even when I felt scared or worried, I managed to keep walking.

I’m thankful of the support I had from my friends in the early 2019 when I was going though my rough period, I know I wasn’t always easy to be around, but they kept me strong and positive, that everything would work out.

I think for me instead of making resolutions I’m going to make it my own tradition to instead turn to what did the last year give me instead and be thankful of that experience.

We don’t know how many years we get, so we should cherish every one of them.

Even if one year turns out to be the roughest of all years in your life, it still teaches you something, whether it was your own strength, to get through that year or the support from friends, family.

I’m excited for 2020 but I’m also a little sad to see 2019 leave.

How do you feel about 2019?

And what was your best memory from 2019?
