gonna get a little personal & sappy here ~~

22 was the age i decided to work on truly being myself without apology for existing. looking back on the last year, i have grown more than i ever thought i could. i realized that i’ve always been filtering or adjusting myself to make others happy, but it wasn’t working. 

this year i have gained so many beautiful amazing people in my life, expanding my social circles to extremes i didn’t know it could go, and i truly cannot express what that has meant to me. i finally have my people who have taught me how to it feels to be loved and appreciated. i can have an off day or go completely mia (sorry, y’all know it) without having to worry that i’m not doing enough. i can go out and dance and goof around without worrying who’s watching or what they’ll think. 

i really don’t think i could be the person i am if it weren’t for the amazing people i’ve been able to surround myself with. even the new friends that i only see out at the bars once a week. the concept that people could be excited to see me and the amount of hugs i can get in one space was such a foreign concept to me. i didn’t feel like i was special enough or fun enough to deserve that kind of love, but everyone around me has helped me grow and realize that just doing your best to be kind to others brings the right people into your circles. the people who text you to just sit in each others living rooms until seven in the morning, days in a row, because you just can’t spend enough time with them. people you can ask for help - completing daily tasks or talking about something on your mind without feeling like a burden. 

for those of you who might not know, my mother took her life in june of 2023. i fell into a negative idea of myself and the world. i am so incredibly lucky to now have the support system to feel safe and secure in my relationships. every day that pushes me to be better and promote positivity and kindness. 

i am just so lucky to love so much and be so loved. 

my friends, thank you for everything. i am so blessed to have you in my life.
