I’m not even sure what my mood was when I entered into 2019. But leaving...
2019: 🗣🗣I ain’t gone tell you again!!
Me: Alright!!! DANG!!!🙄🤦🏾♀️👍🏾
- I thank you. I saw the signs, and Lawd, did they open my eyes.
I have to honestly say that I don’t even feel like the same woman. The quiet that I once ran away from, I fully embraced. Things I used to cling to, I let go of. I used my voice. I felt some way at times, but I didn’t dwell. I felt it and moved on. Physically... I’m still chunky in the middle, and that’s cool. Maybe in 2020, maybe. Lol.
I actually created a lot more art this year. A lot more. I used my creativity to process the emotions, thoughts, and lessons of the year. While I was absent from social media, a fair portion of the year, my studio saw and heard from me regularly. Something I’m definitely working on sharing more of in 2020. But before we close out 2019, and run arms open wide into 2020:
Here’s what I learned in 2019:
- Everything I want is outside of my comfort zone.
- It’s time that I stop shrinking back.
- My intermittent perfectionism is definitely procrastination, fear, and self-sabotage.
- As great and enjoyable as a relationship sounds. I definitely prefer the solitude of being single.
- Community is essential. I can’t go at this thing alone. But I can’t get there with everyone/anyone.
- My truth is my truth. You don’t have to understand.
- I can temporarily feel and not be consumed.
- When I feel consumed, tap into my community.
- I don’t give myself enough credit.
- Staying the course can be difficult, but often is an essential part of the journey.
Bonus Round:
- Your gut is speaking for a reason, and you cannot afford to ignore it.
- Peace is priceless
- What I’ve created is not for everybody. And that is absolutely ok.
Here’s to a fantastic 2020. I’m looking forward to what I have to learn and share with you.
What lessons did you learn in 2019 that are propelling you into 2020?
