I’ve been creepin’ back through my old tumblr posts and it makes me so nostalgic. I’ve had such a great life. So many wonderful people who I’m lucky enough to still call friends. No matter the time or distance away from one another. It’s 2019 now. I’ve married Brian (since all my old posts were inevitably about him and hoping to never know life without him), we’ve had two babies and surely more will come, we’ve bought a home together, and we’re just so beyond content. We’ve quite literally “built a life we love” together and even today, when I stop and look around me, it kinda takes my breath away. I am so grateful for him and this life we’ve made together. We bicker and argue, and there’s always going to be things that we could both do better, but I am so happy with him. After 9 years.. 9 years, I can still say that. I’m only 24 and I’ve spent the better portion of my life with a man I couldn’t have dreamt up better myself. Apart from that, I am so happy. With everything. There are things that stress me out, of course, always.. but happiness is a way of thinking. I choose to not dwell on stressful things and situations I cannot change. Thank God for this life and these oppotunites I’ve been given. I’m going to spend this year maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle again and also making sure my three boys do as well. I’m going to spend less time on social media and focus more on what’s infront of me. I’m going to be more patient. I’m going to cook and bake more and truly learn the science of it. I’m going to focus more on saving and building wealth. And I plan to work on being more selfless and giving and hopefully God provides for me ways in which I can be. 2019 shall be another year of growth for me, where I learn more about myself and what I’m capable of if I really set my mind to it.
