Welcome to the last blog post of the year! As 2018 comes to an end, I realize I’ve learned a lot about myself this year more than any other year. This year has had several changes for me – in a good way. If these changes didn’t happen, it wouldn’t have opened my eyes to learn more about myself. I hope you all have learned and had new life experiences this year like I have. It doesn’t matter what age you are – there’s always something new to learn about yourself that you didn’t even think possible. It’s definitely important to focus on yourself and well being. Here are some things I learned about myself in 2018:

1. – I actually like nature and hiking – Growing up I was definitely not the nature girl. I enjoyed being indoors and not getting dirty outside. But in all honestly, I believe it’s because 6th grade camp traumatized me of all outdoor activities. I just had the most horrible experience that entire week, and it effected the remainder of my years since then. This year I realized I actually enjoy hiking. Being outdoors and feeling free in nature. The beautiful air and trees, and seeing all new views. It’s a whole different feeling than it was at 6th grade camp, that’s for sure. 😂
2. – I don’t need designer goods – As some of you guys have seen, most of my blog has been based on designer fashion (LV in particular). This year I’ve realized I really don’t need that stuff. Being minimal is what it’s about. After seeing so many natural disasters like the California fires, materialistic things can be gone in a flash. I should be saving and investing my money on more important things. And spending time with the people I love. And loving myself. Of course I still love designer goods, and maybe one day when I’m extremely rich I’ll have my own dream collection! But as of right now, I can still base my blog off affordable style with the rare appearance of a Neverfull, haha.  👜
3. – I’m OK with being alone – Since I was 18, I’ve basically always had a boyfriend. I was always scared of ‘ending up alone’ or being alone. I never wanted kids or to get married. But was it because I was always with the wrong person? I believe so. But now I’m OK with being alone. I’m OK if I end up getting married, or having kids. As long as it’s with the right person that treats me right at all times. Not anyone can fulfill my expectations – so I’m OK with being alone. I know my worth. It’s OK to work on yourself. It’s OK to do your own thing. Everything happens for a reason. 👸🏻
4. – What Makes me Happy – This year I’ve been the happiest I have been in a long time. Being able to focus on myself has really opened up a lot of doors for me. Being able to spend time with the couple friends that I have warms my heart. Being able to continue blogging and sharing my style and emotions. Being able to help others in any way I can. Being able to live in the moment and not worry so much about future occurences. And being able to travel more and experience new places has definitely been a huge impact on my sanity. If I keep up this pattern, I know it will continue to make me happy!  🗺
5. – I like to Spread Positivity – I’ve realized this year I’ve been soooo much more positive. I noticed I try and encourage others to stay positive without even realizing I do. When someone says something negative, I catch myself saying “Well at least…(insert something positive here)” 😂 I always try and make a negative situation into a positive one. Of course it’s not always the easiest thing to do, but things happen that we can’t help, so the only thing to keep you sane is to stay positive about it!!

I hope after reading this you may have realized some things you’ve learned about yourself too this year! Share with me in the comments below! ❤️
