Dear 2018

Dear 2018,

Although you have passed,
I'd like to recap fast.
You were an incredibly wild ride of a year.
You gave me some crazy highs and many lows.
But overall it ran with a flow.
After 2017 I thought nothing could beat the worst,
but then you gave me the loss of a 15 year friendship
It was hard, I cannot lie
But I had built myself a shell and I wasn't going to let you break me again that easy.
I was still able to experience sone of the best moments of my life.
My first concert, a musical.
From the loss of one friendship I gained many.
And one most important relationship.
I was surrounded by incredible people who brought me up.
This year showed me just how fast time flies.
It showed me that,
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
But every battle fought brings you nearer to something better.
My milestone was turning 16,
It seemed large
But compared to what's ahead it is a mere pit stop.
I learnt.
Wow I learnt so much.
I Grew
I fought through
By the end I had stopped fighting battles outside but began to realise the battles I was fighting inside.
I continue to battle through those but with a new year upon,
Its time I take it on.
I let go of what I cannot change and look forward to a year full of;
Learning
Growing
Experiences
Adventures
And most importantly joyous moments.
2018,
I look at you and think, do you make me happy?
My answer;
Yes you do because without the experiences you threw at me, I wouldn't be where I am.
So thank you.
2019, next.

Sincerely yours,
 Bridie.

Dear 2017

Dear 2017,

What a year you were. 

You went by so fast that I didn’t have the chance to sit back and reflect at any moment. You flew by without even giving me the chance to say goodbye. 

I have some words I’d like to say and even though you have gone away here is a letter, so I say;

The beginning of the year I was ready for change.

After 2016 I hope you’d be good and full of new beginnings.

2017, you threw everything at me sending me in mixed emotion towards you, it was as if I was on a roller coasters with many highs but also so many lows.

I got the pleasure of a holiday away, towards the north.

What a getaway

I got to experience actual roller coaster!

Oh how fun

Then I got back and the pleasure however was done.

But that was okay as all good things come to an end.

The middle of the year I thought,

Ahh I’m finally over the hump.

Then you hit me with your biggest low of all.

The ending to a relationship...

It was a 

hard

angry 

upsetting

time.

But in the end I feel I came out stronger.

You threw me your worst and I tried to handle it with my best.

By the last few months of you I thought I had gotten through and fought my battles but at the same time I think on the inside of me,

I wanted to scream

yell

tell the world how I feel. 

And I did.

The final month went by so fast.

I got to experience another holiday thanks to you.

Maybe you did it as a favour after all you gave me throughout the year.

Maybe you did it to show me what life really was and how no matter what happens  I need to come out fighting on the other end.

Or maybe you just did it to show me what strong is.

2017, here’s to you.

A year of the highest highs and the lowest lows.

At times I hated you,

At times I loved.

2017, you were a big milestone in my coming of age story and you will not be forgotten.

Farewell to you and although I hate goodbyes here seems to be another.

Goodbye my friend,

Or enemy I do not know.

Goodbye.

Sincerely yours,

Bridie. 

New beginnings 😋

Hi there 👋🏽
How are you?
I hope you are well and feeling fine and dandy 🌻(Note: this is definetly a sunflower NOT a dandy)
Anyways continuing on, I'm Bridie😌
I'm about to turn 15 in a couple of weeks and I'm 3 quarters of the way to 20 (yay 🙄)
My life so far, it's been pretty full on I mean I'm not that old but I feel I've learnt a lot and this blog here I've decided is going to be my diary I guess you could say.
Here I will share thought, experiences and life lessons as I come to a close end of high school.
I hope by creating this blog I will in some way help others or provide entertainment 😄
I really hope you will continue to read my blog as I grow further and share new things.
I plan to start a YouTube so when that happens I will let you know but for now, he's to a start of something new ✋🏽
