Let me start off by saying I am so excited for 2019!

For about 2 weeks now, I have been trying to figure out what the hell to write my next blog post on. I knew that I wanted it to be related to the new year or a recap of 2018. But honestly, I got lazy. Christmas rolled around and all my motivation was swept away into a metaphorical dust pan. I did have an amazing Christmas though. Now that Christmas is over, I’m feeling so inspired and motivated by the new year.

2019 is already giving me such positive vibes.

So, I’m writing this on Sunday, December 30th so it’s not 2019 yet. But the upcoming year just feels like it’s going to be a good one. It’s not just me either, I’ve asked everyone close to me how they feel about the upcoming year and everyone said they felt some sort of positive influence. Thats major!

I have this thought that the more people who feel the positive influence of the upcoming year, the more positive the year will be. It’s not a science guys, so don’t roast me.

2018 was a game changer for me, but its also been a rollercoaster.

I won’t reflect too much on 2018 but it’s been a great year for me. I also feel like 2018 was at least two years in one. The first 6 months of 2018 were completely different than the last 6 months.

I’ve grown, matured, and have learned so much about myself this year. I’ve also prioritized my mental health more this year than I have ever. It’s definitely been a full year of self discovery and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. AKA starting this blog, totally outside of my comfort zone!

So yeah…I’m now in a place where I actually feel ready for a new year.

I’m 23 years old (24 on January 30th) and I’ve never felt ready to enter into another year. I usually clung onto each year because I was afraid of whatever was next. Now i’m ready to cling a nice glass of champagne as the new year walks on by. I’m also on a serious hunt for my dream new years outfit so stay tuned because I’ll probably be sharing my new years look right here on this blog.
