letter 21: time flies when...

you're trying to survive

hi bb,

how’s that heart of yours doing? are you holding up okay? I truly hope so!

so, it recently hit me that we’re deadass in the middle of November. it’s basically the end of 2022 and I don’t know what to make of it quite yet. on one hand, i’m trying to use this as motivation to fulfill the promises I made to myself during my new year resolutions. on the other hand, i’m just trying to make it through each day without imploding.

know what I mean?

I say all of this because we’re going to start seeing a lot of content centered around recapping people’s personal accomplishments and reflections on what they did this year. I want to preempt all of that by reminding you not to compare. remember, social media never tells the full story. more importantly, your journey is your own, and with it comes unique blessings and challenges that only you can fully understand.

I want to encourage us to fixate on our own journey and celebrate the ways we not only overcame the difficulties presented to us, but also the ways we leaned into the restorative moments of peace, love, and joy.

your 2022 experience could’ve been full of highs or full of lows. regardless of how it played out, here you are. still breathing. still trying.
