I am thankful that I made it through the year.
This year has been a wild ride, and I’ll be honest, it almost broke me. At the start, I had zero plans because everything I tried just fell apart. It was confusing and hard at first, and just as it seemed like things were falling into place…
April hit, bringing with it an accident that turned everything upside down. I’m still feeling the effects, especially physically. I recently discovered I damaged my hip in the accident and hopefully I can get treatment next year. Personal life? Let’s just say it’s been a rollercoaster.
But you know what? Even in the chaos, there were these little moments and people that made me realise giving up wasn’t an option. Work, oddly enough, was my rock this year. I got to cover some cool stuff—Comic Con Cape Town, sports events, the cinema reopening—no steady paycheck, but hey, it was something!
I gotta give a massive shout-out to those who had my back. Your support, those pep talks, and the times you dragged me out of my funk? They meant everything. I genuinely wouldn’t have made it this far without you.
So, here’s to you, 2023. You threw everything at me, but you know what? I’m still standing, and I’m grateful for those bright spots in the midst of the chaos. Thanks a bunch. Hopefully 2024 will be better, I’m not planning anything yet but I’ll stay hopeful.
Thank you.
