Looking back a year ago, my mental health was at its lowest. It was a moment that made me want to throw in the towel and end it all. The challenges academically, the mind accepting what the heart couldn't and still followed to what the heart wants, and not being understood. The list continues but anyway let's move on.
Now I'm here, thinking of that time, let's just say I am happy that I am still here. Don't get me started, what's happening around the world is shit, and all but I don't want to ruin my planned destiny. What I can say to the Q of last year is that everything is alright, it's going to be a long journey to the road of healing. If I can quote what my mom said to my brother and me in the times when we were challenged by reality: "Don't ever look at challenges as something that will stop you from prospering, but see it as the foundation to become stronger, wiser, and conscious."
This year really flew by quickly, this year academically I was in the trenches fighting one hell of a war with the weirdest, funny assignments that we ever got, but we got the degree in the bag. Emotionally, I had my good and bad days, but I had ways to keep myself positive. I feel like this year brought a lot of acceptance for certain aspects of my life. I felt like I was scared of change but maybe change is for the good.
With the new year on the horizon, I pray that peace follows you all on the road that we have yet to take.
Q.
