2020 Was A Rough Year

Written when I was 26 years old

2020 was a rough year for everyone. But it taught us things too. Not everyone is your friend just because they say "I love you". I lost a lot of important people in my life this year because I was too blind to see that I wasn't as important to them. 2020 really opened my eyes to the fact that the devil hides behind a smile....your best friend, a family member... Someone who you thought would always be there but they left... They used excuses to make it seem like your fault. But in reality it is their loss. They left you. Not the other way around. Don't let someone else dictate your happiness because you will never truly be happy otherwise. Find your true happiness deep within you. If 2020 has taught me anything it's that my best friend can be my enemy and that the least likely person can show you how to believe in yourself again...how to love again....how to be happy again. It's 2021 now and I'm still learning that not everyone is who they seem. But it's ok to need to learn new things. That's just part of life. Unfortunately as humans we usually get hurt before we actually learn our lesson. I've lost love in 2020 and yet found it again in the least likely place. Healing doesn't happen overnight, it's a long rocky process. But you can do it! Overcome! Achieve great things! You are amazing! You are not defined by what people say about you, but by who you truly are inside.
