36 years around the sun.
Won’t lie at times I’ve felt older this year, a bit more weary, less patient, more troubled, less trusting. And it’s shown. I’m greyer, look a little more tired and at times I lost a bit of who I am.
I am a fiercely loyal person, often to my detriment. I try my hardest to see the best in people in a world that can be extremely negative. That’s who I was raised to be and at times this year I’ve forgotten that.
I feel things hard, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and whilst I often crack on, I let things get to me. Often things outside of my control.
However on the contrary, if I look back, despite the world seemingly falling apart, I’ve felt closer than ever to my family, I’ve got a new niece who will always have her uncle to protect her, and I have a wife who I fall asleep next to every night knowing that she has my back no matter what.
I am immensely grateful for the people who check in and to all those who check in with me, you know the door is always open. To those who don’t, reach out anyway. It’s a crappy world sometimes but I promise you there is greatness and light around every corner.
