Hello Readers,
Today marks my 32nd birthday, and I couldn't be more
excited to celebrate! As I reflect on the year gone by, I find myself taking a
little walk down memory lane. It's been a year full of moments I’ll cherish,
and I want to share five of my favourite memories from the past 365 days.
Here’s to the highs, the lessons, and the moments that made the past year unforgettable.
One
I might be starting off a bit silly, dear reader, but
hear me out. This year, I’ve come to the conclusion: I absolutely hate ladders.
I’ve always had a bit of an uneasy relationship with them, but it all came to a
head towards the end of last year when I was helping a friend store something
in the attic. Halfway up, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Why on earth did I offer
to help?” Turns out, ladders and I just don’t get along.
Two
I was so excited to share my love for Greek mythology
last March, but honestly, I spent most of my birthday month worrying that no
one would get my enthusiasm and that maybe I’d made a mistake reading so many
Greek mythology books and planning an entire month around one theme. But
thankfully, everything turned out great.
I found a bunch of people who were just as passionate
about Greek Mythology as I was and it was a good reminder that it’s totally
okay to be a little nerdy sometimes.
Three
I’ve recently realised that I’m now technically the
nearest adult in most situations. But here’s the secret: as you get older, you
start to understand that everyone is just figuring it out as they go. No one
has it all together, and we’re all dealing with some form of chaos. Adulting is
tough there’s so much pressure we put on ourselves, or feel from others. It
took me way too long to realize that, for the sake of my own sanity, I really
needed to stop comparing myself to others.
Four
This past year, I’ve rediscovered my love for playing
Pokémon Go, and it’s been such a blast getting back into it. Of course, I have
to work around my allergy disorder, but it’s still been a lot of fun. Turns
out, I’m a bit of a completionist, so now I’m on a mission to finish my
Pokédex. I’ve always enjoyed collecting, so I’m constantly jumping into events
and new raids whenever they come up. I’ve also downloaded Pokémon TCGP, and collecting
cards on there. It’s been a fun mix of nostalgia and excitement.
Five
This past year, through starting Sunday Snapshot, I’ve
learned to appreciate the smaller joys in my week. There were times when it was
hard to find that joy, until I started scrolling through my photos, picking out
moments for Snapshot Sunday. Those three little moments reminded me that it’s
okay if happiness comes from the small things, like finding a dragon fruit
while doing the weekly shop. It’s a beautiful reminder that even the smallest
joys are worth celebrating.
