Adiós 2022!

I wrote this to myself to this morning. Feeling pretty emotional and wanted to process, then share with y'all ☺️

How do I feel?

Proud, grateful, relaxed, excited...like I'm exactly where I should be. And that there's so much ahead of me, but there's no rush to get anywhere. Life is a journey, a process, a celebration, a performance. And for once, I'm the Director, still learning to direct.

Proud...of myself for getting right back up after setback, for my hard work, for going out of my comfort zone over and over again. Proud for expanding my capacity for courage and vulnerability.

Grateful...to have a life with the privilege to take risks, because my parents did the hard work to give my brothers and I more opportunities than they had. Grateful to live in a place where I can be my full self, to be surrounded by people I admire. Grateful to my friends who always had my back, who help me see my greatness. Grateful that I'm alive and get to enjoy the world at my fingertips.

Relaxed...because I have everything I could want. Relaxed because I don't have artificial timelines

that induce urgency and anxiety. Relaxed because I'm grateful for what I have, and because I'm letting go (at least trying) of comparisons to other people. Relaxed because life ahead is a new adventure and I accept whatever comes with it. I just get to live laugh love on my own terms.

Excited...because there's so much ahead of me. Because I get to deepen relationships, expand my career, deepen my impact and have a whole lot of fun celebrating life and love all over the world. Let's goooo!

Happy New Year and I hope you close the year out seeing the magic that you are. 2023 will be a kick

🍑 year, together <3

For Learning and With Love,

Chris
