If all you did was make it through.

The year is coming to an end. Reflecting on your year in review, people share their accomplishment and the joys they achieved, marriages, pregnancies new careers moves but, if all you did was make it through, then this one is for you.

Social media is a facade, a competition, a place where people can form a life through pictures, videos , blurps of exactly what they want the world to see. What the world doesn't see for most are those personal battles, the struggles, the tears and your fears.

All some of us did was just make it through.

I watched my light dim in 2023, I lost my heart and what I thought was a big part of me. I fought hard and often saw myself loosing the will to live on two occasions or 3. I had goals and ambitions I set for myself at the end of 2023 just like anyone else. As this year closes all I achieved was I made it through.

I fought hard for myself , I advocated for my health she nutured her mental health she started blossoming. She cherished those moments and started adventuring . She had highs at times and she had lows sometimes 6feet deep. But, I made it through.

Me in 2023 wouldn't believe what i achieved in the year i made it out to be. I didn't have a marriage, I didn't have a kid, no big career moves, no new relationship, nothing i felt was celebratory. I just made it through and felt that was fine with me.

Making it thorough got me moments of happiness, moments of tears, new friendships new hopes to the new year. All because I looked back and saw i made it through. I made it through my transition point. I focused on me . I didn't win but I didn't fail. Everyone has there moment, I'm learning that these years were not for me.

But then again in making it through, I started driving and adventuring. I started writing a book a life long dream of mine, i found happiness in found hopes i saw that even when my light dimmed, being me make it through was an accomplishment for me not them.

While everyone celebrates their year in review think of all the ways you made it through. Sure you had tears, your fears and doubts but just know you achieved micro moments. If all you did was make it through.
