Normally my end of year posts are about my family and what transpired throughout the year. This year is going to be a little different.
2024 was another year for the books, good - bad - and everything in between. Whether it was mental health, emotional heath or physical health, it was an absolute struggle for many. 2024 had taught me no matter how many times you get knocked down you MUST continue to get back up. You need to continue to fight for YOU and what/who means the most to you. YOU are your best advocate. Fight for what you believe in and who you love.
While life is difficult - it truly is a roller coaster - it is what you make it. Positivity breeds positivity and negativity breeds negativity. Don’t get me wrong, it is OK to not be OK, we all have/need those feelings - it’s a part of life. While being sad and angry are emotions we all feel and deal with, we cannot constantly live our lives in the black hole of despair. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and get back up. ALWAYS get back up. ALWAYS live your life to the fullest. When you wake up, thank God for another day - not everyone has that opportunity. Tell yourself, I’m going to have a good day. Live positively, honor your obligations, love YOURSELF. Do not let others bring you into their black hole of despair - I know, I know - easier said than done. I’ve been there. Show the devil you will NOT be beaten. Live by the mantra: I am a good person, I am happy, I am proud of who I am!! I am proud to be me!!
Let’s make 2025 a better year!! Cheers to what is to come!! ❤️❤️
