Dear 2019, Iโm so ready for you. Iโve been looking forward to you for quite some time and Iโm very glad youโre finally here. As of recently, I feel like Iโm starting to pull my head out of the dark cloud thatโs been looming over my head throughout the last two years. And Iโm more than ready for the next chapter. 2017 and 2018 felt like years where everything burned down and it truly felt like I was moving backwards at times, but I know youโre going to be a year of evolution, expansion, and re-birth. I can feel it.
It was beautiful timing finishing my Remote Year program at the end of 2018, ready to start the next chapter of my life off on the right foot, and it coincides perfectly with the start of a new calendar year. I know this sounds silly, but I keep thinking of a Phoenix when I think of starting 2019. Iโm not usually one for the โnew year, new meโ mentality, but Iโve put in a lot of work over the last two years and Iโm ready for this next version.
There are parts of me that are almost a little anxious for whatโs to come this year, as there are a lot of unknowns, but Iโm learning to embrace it. This will be a year of re-building, and there wonโt be time for playing small. Iโm feeling re-energized and excited to re-focus on my blog, as well as a few other projects Iโve been talking about for a while. I know Iโm going to have my nose to the grindstone this year, but I’m excited for the challenge and know it will be worth it in the end. Iโll give this year my absolute best, but at the same time, I’ll make sure I donโt forget that thereโs a lot to life besides just work.
Iโve got some travel planned for friendsโ weddings and bachelorette parties, but I probably wonโt do much โjust for funโ travel beyond that. Iโve been fortunate enough to go a lotย of places over the last few years, and through that Iโve learned thereโs no better feeling than coming home. And at least right now, home is what I want to nurture this year.
I will continue to trust the timing of my own life, and try to remember to trust the process of it all at the same time. I truly canโt believe Iโm going to turn 30 this year. Iโm not where I โthought Iโd be,โ thatโs for sure. But instead of getting down on myself about that, Iโm remembering what I know deep down — Iโm exactly where I need to be.
I hope to continue on the paths of personal growth that Iโve been committed to over the last two years, and I promise to take care of myself the very best ways I know how. Exercise, eating right, and meditation are all at the top of that list.
I know it wonโt all be easy. I’m sure there will be discomfort alongside the expansion. But Iโm here for it.
Letโs do this, 2019.
Wishing you an amazing 2019!
