Goodbye 2017 - a reflection

There was a point that I thought I'd never make it through to the end of 2017. Things had gotten so bad and I couldn't even see a faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

I had lost myself in a toxic situation and I am slowly starting to find myself again and feel that happiness that was lost. I am still alone but I am not really lonely, I'm just better off than where I was before.

Although the last year has been really rough and tough, I've also had a lot of happy times. I travelled, spent time with friends and family, and had a lot of unforgettable moments.

I've gained and lost but what is life without that. I've realised the value of my life and I'm slowly starting to understand what I want tondo and what I was put on this earth to do.

I am still drawn towards helping people but I also want to progress in.my writing and make a career out of that, too.

My plans for 2018 - i want to continue to progress in life, I want to travel as much as I can, achieve some of my dreams, meet new people and have new experiences.

I say this every year but I do want to also become healthier just in general and  to lower my chances of dying young.

I want to touch people's heart and soul but I'm not going to be able to do that if I continue to  put myself last and others first, I realise the importance of taking better care of myself physically, mentally and emotionally.

Life is a battlefield.

Happy new year .
