Sights 2020

I have written and re-written this post three times now. I wanted to do an “Ode to the Decade”, and discuss how literally everything is different. Considering I was 16/17 when the decade started- duh?

I wanted to touch on where I’d been, what I felt I “overcame”, people that didn’t make it to the new decade, where I thought I’d be. The writing of it just felt, off. There was bitterness to it. There’s a harsh reality to the lessons you learn, but that’s not the tone I’m setting for 2020.

A new decade is exciting, but it doesn’t require a dissection of the past. So I wont do that. (Even if that post was saved in my drafts and ready to go.)

For 2020 I want to work on focusing on the present moment, and preparing for what I want to accomplish. Life is a mountain range. There are peaks, there are pits, and once you reach the top you have to come back down eventually. So again I – duh, that the last decade, the last year, even the last month has been a roller coaster. C'est la vie!

It takes the smallest moment to alter your perspective. Mine was this morning when my bestie knew my nail polish choice being 1,000+ miles away. I laughed, and then I felt gratitude for having someone in my life that knows me so well. That’s when I knew I couldn’t post the melancholy bullshit I had planned. We’re focusing on the now, and we’re continuing the practice of gratitude.

I will say this: The last decade was sprinkled with beautiful people, and wonderful memories.

Here’s to the next decade, may it bring health, happiness, and an abundance of love. Cheers guys! Have a safe and Happy New Year!
