A few days ago I gave myself a deadline to post on my blog on the first day of 2020. I don’t even do deadlines, I literally post when I feel like it. Then I tried to think about what I wanted to write about and it was bad. I wrote out a whole post on manifesting and preparing for the new year and hated it. I thought about recapping my 2019 for y’all but was like “nah, that ain’t it.” I even went as far as to make myself a voice memo of ideas to ponder on and write about and truly I’m still feeling none of it. In this New Year/New Decade, I want Checkmylipss to expand into something more but I can already tell that trying to schedule my creativity is not going to help me deliver that relatable content. I just hope y’all bare with me through it all.
For those who have read my blog over the past year… y’all know I’m all over the place with it. I really have enjoyed the feedback I’ve gotten and how people find my woes to be something they resonate with as well – I’m truly grateful for those of you who have taken the time to support me and my shenanigans. You all help give me the push I need past just myself to continue this blog journey and TRY to be more consistent (I find beauty in the sporadic posts though).
So for the upcoming year, I hope I return the favor and support you all in your endeavors as well. Everybody eats, B (word to Paid In Full) and I mean that wholeheartedly. I like seeing the wins of my peers. I feel like it’s necessary to support each other because life is tough and knowing you have people rooting for you is motivation to keep going. I hope we diminish the crabs in a barrel mentality and can learn to uplift each other. Overall, I hope you take the time to reflect over your past years and use that to drive you into a strong start in 2020.
Thank you to 2019 as well. You weren’t a bad year but you weren’t the best either – more like one of those weird little funky spaces in time. I can take everything you brought and reflect on the situations and all the things I’ve learned from them. Because of you I learned how the art of “taking L’s” is just necessary to aid your growth, but only if one acknowledges the message given through the circumstance. I’m hard headed though so we’ll see if I repeat parts of life before I finally learn the lesson [insert face palm]. 2019 gave me ups, downs, and more debt and now I’m just over it. This was my last year being financially irresponsible – Jesus please be a budget. So, thank you 2019 for life… but… NEXT!
