Tonight, we say goodbye to another year, and we also close out a decade. Social media is absolutely flooded with posts about what people have achieved and how they've changed and it really got me thinking about everything that's happened in the last ten years.
Ten years ago, I was 15. Raven and I had been dating for almost a year, I was incredibly depressed, and living with my emotionally abusive mother. Right now, I'm 25. I'm sitting in my living room watching BuzzFeed Unsolved while my three incredible kids draw pictures of our cats and argue over who gets to draw with which crayon. A lot can change in ten years.
some other things that I did this decade include:
lived with a narcissist for six months
miscarried my first pregnancy
gave birth x3
got married
dropped out of highschool
moved x7
cut my entire biological family out of my life
got tattooed x2
changed my name
discovered I'm severely mentally ill
started treatment for my depression
found my witchy path
shaved my head
got a cat x2
I'm sure there are things I'm leaving out. Changes of hair colour, friends lost or gained, things I've studied, and lessons I've learned. But all in all, I feel like where I am now is so much better than where I was at the beginning of this decade.
I don't know what the next year, or the next decade, has in store for me - but I have a feeling it's going to be good. Happy new year. <3
