2019

Dear 2019,

Thank you for all the memories. I have learned so much from you. I have laughed till I cried, smiled so hard it hurt, cried so hard that I thought I would break and grew so much from all the lessons. Thank you for giving me more lessons than I thought I needed. Thank you for giving me the most nurturing, adventurous, funny, and down to earth friends I could have ever asked for. Thank you for letting me see some people's true colors. Thank you for letting me go through a couple heartbreaks. Heartbreaks can lead to a world of things that make you feel sad, but in 2019 I learned how to deal with heartbreak in a healthy way thanks to my friends. I am forever thankful for the people 2019 brought to me, because I think God knew that the people I had in my life before were not good people. So He brought good, genuine people in my life that would help me become a better version of myself. Whether that was with a relationship, job loss, friendship loss or whatever the case may be. I got my heart broken and learned from it. I learned how to love myself and be my own soulmate for once, and for that I am truly thankful. 2019 was one for the books for sure, I had to learn how to live without some people who I thought would be in my life forever. But with that, I gained some true friends that I never knew I needed. I had to learn how to cope with some of the greatest losses I have ever had to deal with. I had to learn how to understand true friendships versus fake friendships. Trying to navigate people and learn how true they are to one person was a task I was not ready for or knew I needed to learn. I had to realize that coffee was just maybe the job for me. Making coffee for people may not be for everyone but somehow for the last 3 years it is all I ever wanted to do or to be better put; all I ever and will always know. I have had some of the greatest adventures I will ever remember. I learned how to live more in the moment than on Snapchat. I learned that being a cashier and a bagger for one of the largest companies just was not for me. I learned that my musical tastes went far beyond Taylor Swift and Backstreet Boys. I learned who I was not as a person but as an employee. 2019, thank you for everything. if it was not for you, I would not be the person I am today. So thank you, and here's to 2020. A new decade, a new year and a whole lot of new adventures. I cannot friggin' wait. I cannot wait to see where my job takes me, and how I grow with that. I cannot wait to see where this blog takes me because it is my passion to write and I will forever be a writer. I cannot wait to see who will still be by my side in 2020 because friendships have not always been my strong suit. I cannot wait to see how my family does in 2020, what they accomplish for the good. I cannot wait to see what adventures happen in 2020 because it is about to be my year. The year of prosper, making money and doing big things.

Love Always,

A hopeful girl for 2020 and a whole decade....
