best and worst year

twenty eighteen

2018 was a weird year because i was somehow living my best and worst life at the same time.
— @theleaguewomen

i laughed a lot, i cried a lot, i laughed cried a lot. 
i remember very little, i forgot a lot. 
i fell in love, i fell into depression.
i found myself, i lost myself. 
i took chances, i held back.
i felt beautiful, i felt ugly.
i was present, i got stuck.
i progressed, i regressed.
i chased, i barely moved.
i opened up, i closed up. 
i was worthy, i doubted. 
i got strong, i got weak. 
i thrived, i struggled.
i lived the best, i could. 

it was also exactly what i needed to prepare me for what is coming. 

thankful for the ones who stood by me.

you can rise from anything. you can completely recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you’re not stuck. you have choices. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

i will laugh way more, cry more. 
i am going to write more, take more photos, to remember more.
i will forget my worries, and doubts quicker. 
i am going to love more.
i will get through my depression.
i am going to find more of myself [over and over again]. 
i will take the scariest step in my life. 
 i am beautiful. 
i will be present. 
i am going to learn way more. 
i will run, climb and jump.
i am going to put it all out there. 
i will find unconditional self worth. 
i am strong. 
i will do all the things and more. 
i am going to continue to live my best life.
