Year in Review

Hello and welcome back to my weekly thoughts

Today I want to look back on the past year, since it will be ending shortly

I feel like the years pass by faster and faster as I get older, I know there's lots of logic to prove why I feel this way, but that doesn't stop it from being a strange experience.

I think it's also the mindset I've had for the last few years, I'm just grinding out some unpleasant things right now, then I'll finally be able to get to the juicy bits of life I'm hoping.

I don't assume the unpleasant experiences will stop either, but rather they will be more rewarding, or at least the rewards will be what I make for myself, so I'll have no one else to blame anymore.

The year ending also feels like it's lost it's weight as time has gone on, I used to think I had to do something meaningful with each year, achieve great things and look back on the year with pride, but lately I've decided to just try my best each day and whatever that ends up creating by the end of the year will make me happy enough.

Perhaps I've grown more comfortable with settling? That seems to be the type of thing I'm describing, but at the same time I'm still willing to fight really hard for what I want, I'm more balanced than before is what I hope.

Either way, another year has passed, everyone only gets a limited supply of these, I'm sure I'll see plenty more but it's still good to always remember they are finite, hopefully everyone else had a beautiful and enriching year, I'll see you on the other side.

Thanks for reading, have a splendid year.
