Rolling Right Through 2018

Tweet

Is it just me or has the first seven months of this year been wasting away quicker than ice cream in hell? I have dreams and goals and it feels like 2018 has been the biggest reality check that dreams or goals will NOT be on the agenda to accomplish this year. 2018 seems to be a downward spiraling rollercoaster, or better yet, an EF5 tornado that is on a mission of total destruction of anything that could possibly brighten up the rest of the year. After suffering some great losses: death, finances, health, comfort, I have licked my wounds and contemplated reaching for the white flag to wave and admit defeat. Then it clicked: seven months of feeling whooped in life and feeling like no matter how hard we try that 2018 would be the year of failure, leaving a bad taste in our mouths, but screw that! Why should we make it easy for this disaster year to bring us down even more and continue to wreak havoc on our plans? How can we sit back and accept or expect even more struggles and anguish? We can't just give in and let this evil unruly year beat us anymore. This is our year, just like all the others before and the ones to come. We've gotta take a stand together and fight for the accomplishment and happiness that we strive for, that we deserve. We need to keep each other focused on being positive, on creating positivity in places that have grown dark and gloomy. We need to recenter our hearts and minds on the goals and dreams that we had in place before 2018 started, the steps that we needed to take to get exactly where we wanted to be at this years end. The steps had been annihilated during these seven months but our hopes for a better year still remain. It may be what feels like back to square one, but if we could just team up and be stronger together, we could take that aggression that 2018 instilled in us and channel it into the best last months of 2018.
