Winding down the year I find myself in deep reflection on the year that is, soon to be was. Asking myself what are my nuggets from the year? 2017…. a few words come to mind like savage, survivor, tears, graft, joy, growth, fear, loss, loss and loss.
Rough and profound as the year has been by God I survived and most of us did right…shout out to you! Shout out to me!
My nugget list:
- Growth and comfort are not friends
- If was blessed with a fanatastic opportunity at work. Boy has it been a ride! 5 months in and I am litrally learning everyday. Exactly what I wanted out of the role. Which means I have to continuously ask questions, read, research, try and try again definitely out of my comfort zone. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
- Loss & family
- having lost 2 family in September rendered us somber, infuriated and numb all at once. Through this challenging time we became closer as a family to stand by , support eachother and most importantly appreciate one another. Rendering a tragedy a blessing at the same time.
- Letting go is a tough but necessary skill
- I had met an amazing person this year who after 9 months decided that our relationship wasn’t working for him. This felt like a kick to the chest. Once the shock and tears passed I realised that I had no regrets and that to me we were great but to him we wern’t and that is ok. To each their own.
So overall the year has been alot to say the least but the journey and lessons are priceless. Thank 2017 you had meaning and built my character I am a stronger better person, salute.
