18 Good Things in 2018
Where has 2018 gone? It doesn't seem that 12 months ago I wrote a post entitled 5 Reflections on 2017 and I set myself some quite ambitious goals for this year.
I'll be honest and say that 2018 was a difficult year. It was a year full of changes and challenging mental health. Also, a lot of "solid" friendships have fallen apart this year and I'm starting to build more sustainable/positive friendships moving forward in 2019.
But it wasn't all that bad and I definitely feel as though there was also some great things that came from the year. 2018 taught me the importance of self-care, making great memories and surrounding yourself with the right people. I am really looking forward to seeing what 2019 will bring and will hopefully end this year on an absolute high.
Here's a roundup of the 18 Good Things in 2018.
