Cautious but hopeful

It’s been a weird year so far and despite everything that has happened in our world in 2020, for me it has turned out kind of well…

It started with a promotion. I had experienced some serious turmoil in my personal life for a solid portion of last year and the begining of this year but fought through it and made sure it did not come in the way of me re-establishing my career. There have been plenty of ups and downs at work and in my life but as a whole I came out of Covid and the rest of it pretty well off.

I have made some solid friendships in my amazing home (which I have made plenty of mention of in previous posts), but by far one of my favourite things to have happened this year is meeting Craig, a quirky inner westy, originally from Mackay, ex-military, craft beer and punk lover. He’s pretty awesome.

There have been many things I feel blessed about, truly, I have been quite lucky. I kept my job intact, I infact managed to score myself pay rise this month. My team reached our sales target at work a month out of Covid, which was a genuine feat and I feel the most at ease I have felt for quite a long time.

Don’t get me wrong, day to day stresses still exist and I am certainly not “happy go lucky” all day every day, I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t generally a little bit anxious most of the time but it’s nice to feel a lot like my old self again.

Meeting Craig has been by far one of the more fun things to have happened and it has certainly helped me find myself again. He has quickly become one of my favourite people. He seems to get me, or at the very least cares enough to pretend he does. His friends are cool, my friends like him and I can honestly say that I have fallen for the guy. It’s a nice feeling.

With all the tension going on in the world and all that I have experienced, it’s nice to have found a sense of peace and love in my life.

It’s difficult to know what is to come in the future and based on what I have learned during my life so far, expectations can quickly become disapointments if they are taken too seriously. I open the door to July very cautiously but with so much hope and excitment.

I think I’m quite ready to take on whatever is on the horizon. 😊
