Wow, I Haven't Been on Here in a Minute

Firstly, work. Truthfully, I don't work THAT much, I'm fortunate to have a job with good enough pay that I can work part time for full time pay. But goodness it has been busy lately. I'm so exhausted- but I can't blame it all on my job.

As some of you have read my previous blogs you may be aware of my new boo. For anyone who is invested in that (probably no one) we are doing great. I'm so happy and grateful for this opportunity with him. Though I'm definitely sacrificing some sleep to spend time with him (happily doing so, might I add). So that definitely contributes to the tired.

I haven't gotten to see my friends too much recently, but I still try to make time for them when the opportunity arises because I love and miss them. So as you can see, I'm feeling what it's like to "juggle life" again. Though I am not complaining by any means, I spent so much of this year isolated and depressed it feels good to be living again. I'm very grateful things have turned around before this year ended.

And on the note of the year ending, I'm very grateful that I have the opportunity to bring in the new year with a few of the people who truly saved me this year. People who came to me in my isolation, who sat and watched movies with me, who went out of their way to give me the best birthday possible at that time, who brought me out of my isolation and helped provide me the opportunity to meet some of the best people I've met this year, who spent holidays with me this year when I was missing my deceased father. People who have loved and cared for me through and through, and who have been here while I find my way back to the light. No matter what 2022 brings, I'm grateful I get to welcome it with these people.

This year was very hard on me, as I'm sure it was so many others (I'm sorry). It started out pretty good for me. In April, it took a turn for the worst when I got the call that my father had taken his life. In July I lost my job, and my car. I lost so many friends, and people I cared about (still do care about some). Most of my year was just me trying to survive and deal with one thing after the other. Fortunately, I started finding my way back to the light. It was a slow start, but by mid November it was full speed and hasn't stopped since. I wouldn't have gotten here without my people though. I'm very grateful to be where I am compared to where I was. I don't think I could ever take a good day for granted again.

How was your year? Do you have any plans for the New Year? Concerns? Excitements? Goals?
