I know a lot of people get sick of the 'New Year, New Me' thing every year, but I love having a clean slate and a fresh start to the year - even if it does only make me feel motivated for a week or two. I like to look back over my blogs and Facebook posts to see how my year went at a glance.
I have to say, 2017 wasn't a great year for me - and a lot of people, I'd guess - it came with a lot of challenges, knockbacks, some health issues and plenty of obstacles. But here I am, going into another year and feeling pretty happy with life at the moment. I truly believe all the crap and bends in the road life throws at you help you get stronger and deal with everything. The way I see it you can either pick yourself back up and dust yourself off or let life pull you down with it.
In 2017 I went into my second year of college, went to Newcastle, a photo I took won a photography competition, got a First in my exams, suffered from depression (probably my biggest challenge of the year), attended counselling and got the help I needed to overcome that challenge, dabbled in upcycling/craft, and felt like I (mostly) got my shit together.
In terms of what I'm hoping for in 2018, and my sort-of New Year's Resolutions: I'd like it to be a year of health, more adventures and trying different things, being healthier (this is a big one), putting more time and energy into the blog and blogging about things I really want to write about, whilst trying to figure out if the 3rd year of my college course is going ahead or if I'll have to try and get a job - if any employer in Sligo or Athlone is reading this please keep me in mind for next summer! I'd also like to upcycle and craft a bit more because it has piqued my interest lately, so watch this space.
So that's my hopes and dreams for 2018. I hope it's a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year for you all. Let me know what your ideal 2018 looks like, and as usual, thanks so much for all your support. Happy New Year!
