2022.
i'm grateful for this year, for all the challenges, laughter, and tears. this year has marked another chapter of my life. i focused on my professional career and family. finally proud of myself. been a couple of years, but i found the courage to build relationships with my family again.
i have a lot to be grateful for. i hope i don't let that slip away. this is also the year im able to take care of my people a bit more. i have magnificent people around me and a great appreciation for you all.
hope you can reflect and find what you are proud of this year. even if it's small or nothing to you, it is something you should be proud of.
