As with the end of every year, it’s always good to do a brain dump of all the good shit that has happened. Like any other human, I tend to go down a spiral of crap when thinking of anything negative, so having such a positive list in front of me reinforces my belief that good things are happening and good things are on the way.
I hope that you too have created a list of goodness that you can reflect on, affirming that 2018 wasn’t so bad after all. Of course, no year is completely perfect, right? But fuck listing or thinking about any of the bad stuff here – we’re trying to stay positive, ah’ight?
