A Reflection on How Things are Going

As I sit here and reflect on how life is going for me, I can’t help but think of how much has changed in such a short time. Although the last year has been difficult in so many ways, it has also provided me with the opportunity to find out more about who I am, what I value, and what I want from life.

In spite of the numerous challenges we’ve faced this past year, I’m encouraged by the lessons that I’ve learned and the opportunities that have come out of the tough times. As a result of the changes I’ve experienced, I’m in a better place mentally, emotionally, and spiritually than I have ever been before.

This past year has opened my eyes to the importance of connection and relationship, and I’ve made a concerted effort to reach out to the people in my life, whether they are old friends or new acquaintances. In this period of personal growth and development, I’m grateful to those who have helped me along the way and challenged me to continue to look for the best in myself.

Additionally, I’m inspired by the amount of kindness that I’ve witnessed from complete strangers over the past year. I have been able to draw on this energy to stay positive, grounded, and humble in spite of the unpredictable circumstances that I have faced.

At the same time, I acknowledge the struggles and pain of many throughout the world due to the pandemic and the various civil unrest that has taken place. I have done my best to extend compassion and understanding to those who have had their lives thrown off course due to no fault of their own.

Overall, I can say that I am proud of how I’ve managed this past year. Although I wish that things had gone differently, I’m thankful for the experience and hope to come out of this with a greater appreciation of life and the relationships that I’ve been able to maintain.
