You know what? 2018 wasn’t that bad. Sure I was in job limbo for about 6 months, my two of my favorite people at the office left, and there is a new neighbor from hell, but some awesome things happened.

Here are the big 4.

1. I colored my hair pink & purple after 6 years of being told that I needed to have natural hair. This was a HUGE thing for me. I can express myself through my hair. YAY!

2. I lost 25 lbs. I never thought that I would say that, or that it would actually happen, but it did. I am pretty damn proud of myself.

3. I fell in love with my new position at work. Sure there are some long days, but in the end it is completely worth it. I’m independent in my position, and I don’t feel like I need to please everyone.

4. I’ve met some new people at work, both virtually and in person. I’m becoming closer with the news side, and I’ve created some amazing friendships. In the past, I felt like I only connected to 3 people at the office. Now I’m growing friendships and feeling like I actually belong. This is a first for me. My past jobs (retail and serving) I always felt out of place; I didn’t quite fit in. I actually feel like I belong and I’m valued at work, which is a new and amazing feeling.

2019, if you’re anything like 2018…you’re going to be amazing.
