To a new Chapter

The best decision you can make is always the next one.

2022 ended the same way it begun, CHALLENGING. Confused, lack of vision, drive, everything I stood firm on, people I believed and trusted begun to diminish. The feeling of loneliness is a dangerous place to be. My depression and anxiety felt like a warzone; woke up in sweat every morning as if I've been in a physical battle in a heat exceeding 105 degrees. Heck, I was in a spiritual battle that I was blinded to at the time.

It was a roller coaster ride with gut wrenching moment, reached a height of success and ended with a sudden heartbreaker. It was a journey and an experience nonetheless that yielded growth, maturity, self belief, faith muscle; a time to gauge who I am (self-discovery, necessary boundaries, and developing a good character); recognizing where I'm at (self-honesty, asking the difficult questions and being okay with the answer); and where I'm going and want to be (realistic and authentic vision).

Man, despite the iron-sharping 2022 and part of 2023, the best decision I made is sticking with God through it all. I'm not going to lie but there were moment I questioned everything. But I realized I needed God more than He needed me. To 2023 so far, it has been a time filled with joy, success, a clear vision with a passion and a drive to make that vision a reality and an identity that death can't even challenge.

To those reading this, I'm not sure what part of the journey you find yourself in. Don't lose sight of God; Keep persevering; and Let your next decision be the best decision.
