The beginning of my 2024 was not what I expected and left me questioning myself and everything around me. I felt incredibly displaced, walking around the world with a smile on my face but a crack in my heart. I hated feeling like a ghost in a story that was no longer mine. I saw who I used to be and could no longer relate to that version of myself. These feelings demanded that I look within and become acquainted with this new version of myself; a version that had gone through more pain, become more educated and more filled with love. I returned to things and activities I loved, read more books than I’ve read in my entire life, and my mind transformed. I started my blog to document my thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. I created my own little word, Mimi’s world, a place for me to be the truest version of myself. I cut my hair to a length I never thought would suit me and watched as my hair and I grew alongside each other. I made new friends, ones that accept me for who I am, and showed appreciation to the friends in my life that I love. I turned twenty-one, held a small fairy picnic in Central Park, and danced barefoot in the grass in my gorgeous dress and flower crown. I entered my senior year with goals and aspirations and accomplished all of them: I joined a club which I was actively involved, I met new people, was able to manage my impossible schedule with no days off, and finished the semester with a 4.0 GPA. I further explored my style and wore outfits that felt authentic to me . Upon reflection, this year was an eventful one, one that showed my strengths and allowed me to grow into the person I am in the present. I learned lessons, mourned an older version of myself and created a version of myself that I’m proud to know. With that said, there are so many things I aim to accomplish this year and have already begun making efforts to achieve them. Here is a list of all of the goals I hope to accomplish in the new year and I share them with you to hold myself accountable. Comment your goals for the new year, I would love to hear them! I’m rooting for us!
