I have to say, the last two years have been a real rollercoaster. Mentally, I’ve been in a tough place. And somehow, two years have flown by while I’m still figuring out how to move past it. Recently, I took a solo trip for the first time in my life. And wow, it gave me so much perspective. The biggest realisation? I can survive and adapt on my own. Believe it or not, that’s brand new to me. I always thought I was responsible enough to handle life, but never strong enough to make it solo.
It’s funny how something as simple as a two-week trip can totally refresh your point of view.
Since then, I’ve been trying to get better at life. Tying up loose ends, even the ones I’d forgotten or shoved aside because my mental state was busy procrastinating. Like this blog, for example: pending book reviews and unanswered emails that I know weigh on me. But it wouldn’t be fair to keep others waiting just because I’m going through an existential crisis.
So here I am, trying to do better. Picking up the loose ends. And doing my best not to get discouraged along the way.
This post? It’s me holding myself accountable to that.
At the end of the day, it’s all about showing up for myself, even when things feel tough or unfinished. Picking up those loose ends, being kind to my own progress, and refusing to let discouragement win. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about commitment to growth, one step at a time. And that, I believe, is enough to keep moving forward.
Here’s to doing better, bit by bit.
