“You see - you’ve done it again. You’ve made it through another year. Whether you’re a fighter who suffers in silence or someone who shares their struggles with the world, you have over a hundred reasons to be proud of yourself. I hope you’ll never stop celebrating your victories, no matter how small they might seem to others. I hope you’ll find the courage to take that last step, to write that letter, to send that text. I hope you will be brave enough to change your life. What are you waiting for? Please don’t tell me you’re not ready yet. Truth is you will never feel ready enough to take a step out of your comfort zone. Something new will always be scary at first. If 2022 was for slow transformations and growth, 2023 will be about taking the leap. About the big jump - the falling, and the flying. Accept that you deserve something bigger, something better. You’ve got this.”— hi, 2023 / n.j.
“One of the best lessons you can master in life is to master how to remain calm.”— Unknown
The year end brings no greater pleasure than the opportunity to express to you season’s greetings and good wishes. May your holidays and new year be filled with joy.
Charles Dickens
Shout out to anyone else who is also deeply depressed and completely faking giving two sh*ts about this Holiday season thinking it’ll spark joy or eventually hit you and you’ll actually feel the spirit — but you just don’t. Whether due to grief, heartbreak, loneliness, illness or otherwise. Or even all of the above! You’re not alone. Many of us are just going through the motions. 💜
