10 selfies of 2018! someone tagged me at some point but i can’t remember who or when. man it was a YEAR
if i’m being honest 2018 was one of the best years i’ve had in a long time despite everything. i’m almost halfway done with my bachelor’s degree (wow????) and i’ve been working at my salon job for over 3 years now.
a lot of these pictures are group pictures because in a lot of ways this year was defined by my friends and by the experiences i had with them. i started off this year with my friends and it was a good luck charm that lasted the entire year. i am so lucky not only to have my vegas friends but my tight circle of long distance friends as well (and i was lucky enough to see a lot of them this year as well). i think this year it really dawned on me how lonely past years have been for me because of a lot of very unfortunate circumstances beyond my control. i’m very grateful for the life i have now, even if it isn’t always easy or ideal
this year definitely had its low points - i had to cut more than one person i once cared about out of my life for my own sake and for the sake of my friends. and as unfortunate as it was it helped me grow a lot as a person. there’s been a lot of more positive developments this year as well! i started dating one of my best friends, i was lucky enough to take trips to chicago and california more than once, i finally got to go to a gem mine, and i got to see florence + the machine (FINALLY)!!!
here’s to hoping 2019 is even better, and hopefully a little easier. ❤️🌈
