Live and Let Die

Another year has finally gone by. I can say I’m grateful for this year and everything that it brought with it.

It was definitely filled with a lot of challenges, accomplishments, tears but I can say I was genuinely happy!

Happy to have the opportunity to work in the fashion industry and learn so much despite the many panic attacks and tears. Grateful that I’m able to learn so much and grow in only a year. I’m very proud of myself for still riding this crazy roller coaster because I’m realized how much I can actually handle.

I’m also thankful that I’ve been able to get past my constant depression and anxiety, mainly because I’ve had such a strong support system who have helped me realized all my positive attributes.

I’ve also learned that sometimes you grow and evolve without realizing it or even wanting to. This year I’ve been so focused to do my best at what I do and at what makes me happy that I slowly started distancing myself from all the drama, all the friends and all the constant pettiness.

I will confess, I would feed into it and I was always in the middle of the drama, it’s just who I am. But this year I realized how draining all those situations are.

My priorities are changing, I choose to spend my time and energy on things completely different than a year ago. That’s okay, because it’s all part of growing. No matter how hard I try I can’t seem to relate to a lot of the people I used to. Which doesn’t necessarily mean there’s drama or tension, I just simply no longer connect with them.

At the end of the day I can say that I’m proud of myself for everything I’ve accomplished this year and how much I’ve managed to change for the good. I’m becoming a better person not just for myself but for the people I choose to be around.

So cheers to 2018 ( yes, I still drink) and let’s hope that the new year is 100x better!
