What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
2024 has been one of those years that just flew by. I honestly have issue remembering what has happened this year and how I came from January to December.
My one small decision at the beginning of this year was to either completely cut down or significantly reduce alcohol in my life (I sound like I had a problem, I didn’t) and I managed to do it. Considering the heavy drinking culture that exists in my country, I am pretty proud of myself.
The major thing that I did was that I published Little Rebellion, my first novel, in February. I never thought that day would come and despite this book and its publishing causing a whole lost of emotional turmoil for me, I am happy that I did it. I finally worked through my feelings surrounding it and this week, on Thursday to be more exact, I wrote the first few pages of the sequel to Little Rebellion.
I have strengthen my existing relationships and made some new friends which was a big step out of my comfort zone. I have also lost a lot of weight and got back to working out and eating well.
One of the things that I did, which was hard, was learning how to give myself some grace and room to breathe. I am a person that is highly self-critical, I am very hard on myself, rarely do things I do and accomplish seem like they are enough for me. Basically, I can be my own worst enemy and I am learning to work through that by addressing it on my own through journaling and changing some of my detrimental habits as well as therapy.
One thing that I regret is abandoning my YT channel. I had a lot of fun doing it, but because I developed severe acne this year, my self esteem was very low and cameras, videos and photos were a big NO for me. Hopefully, I will find a way to get back to it again.
That is all I can list right now, but there have been more small victories, wonderful trips and moments in this past year.
How has this year been for you?
Love,
Luna
Don’t forget that my first novel is available on Amazon: Little Rebellion
Also you can get my poetry books: Rehab and Identity crisis
I left work on the 22 November; and if I have my way I’ll never return but I suspect the money will intervene. Take care, Julian
My year has mostly been meh, but the best thing that happened was my internship. I’m so grateful over that. And of course being an aunt two times over this summer.
