Overthought everything about this post for 12 fucking days. But I decided to put it out anyway 2024 saw a lot of tears, a lot of pain, a lot of discomfort - some I willing took on and some not so willingly. I asked myself some difficult questions, made some tough choices and stood up for myself.

I may not have the answers to everything but my word for 2024 has been Courage. Most times it was quiet, wrapped in a blanket of anxiety not sure if I could make it , until the last moment. But you know what, I did it. Everything I was too afraid to do, everything I wasn`t sure I could, I did. Okay maybe not EVERYTHING :P But some things I saw through, and some I took my 1st steps.

I remember reading somewhere that courage doesn`t mean that you aren`t afraid of anything, it means you face your fears despite the anxiety and tears. So I want to give a big hug to myself, because god knows the year I have had. I am grateful to him for giving me many beautiful memories and companions to cherish, and also for the difficult days because they taught me that I`m resilient, brave and handle adversity with grace.

I want to thank the universe for all the blessings I have received, even the ones I may realise only later as blessings. For all the things I have realised in the past year, which have initiated a shift within me. And I want to start the year by loving myself a lot more than the last , trusting myself and accepting myself. I`m looking forward to 2025 with an open heart, open to life, joy, lots of sunshine, time with nature, new experiences, opportunities, Art, love, companionship and growth. So here are a few beautiful pictures from 2024 to manifest beautiful things in 2025.
