A very unpopular opinion but I’m going to say it anyways because who doesn’t like a little real talk: don’t wait until a new year to remove toxicity from your life, to work on your mental health, to work on self, and to celebrate your successes (and failures)!

Be a dreamer year round. Take breaks year round. Do what makes you happy year round. 

You don’t need a new year to set goals and resolutions. A new year also doesn’t equate to this requirement of you being a new or better you. Who made this up? Seriously. 

Manifesting your dreams and reaching those aspirations can take time. Don’t be hard on yourself. Take me as your prime example. Back in the day (more like years), this girl wanted to be a VJ, a host on MuchMusic/MTV to be exact. Although I know that’s not happening anytime soon, I still have it on my vision board to be on TV hosting my very own show one day. But there’s a journey to get there. From vlogging on YouTube to my very own talk show on rukusavenueradio - I’m letting the path guide me to where I want to be/go. 

There are many other dreams to unfold: dreams of building sustainable and equitable resources for communities, advocating and advancing gender equity, and forever breaking down stigmas. 

This will take a lifetime of learning, growth, and bumps along the way. Having hustled in other ways, I’ve come to the realization that yes hard work hits differently, but so does rest and protecting my mental well-being. 

So, if you’re feeling this overwhelming anxiousness to do more or be better in 2022 - stop. Keep doing what you’re doing. Keep surrounding yourself with the right people and energy. Keep supporting and cheering on your fellow peeps. Don’t be ashamed to take a break. Don’t be ashamed to pivot your plans. Don’t feel rushed. Do you, and do your damn dreaming on your own terms.
