Happy 2022 + Resolutions

Happy New Years! I can’t believe it is finally 2022. I know it has been some time since I was last on here but I haven’t forgotten about Everything Ami. While I wish I could say that amazing things have been happening for me which have taken up my blogging time, the truth is that 2021 was one of the worst years of my life. I don’t intend to make this post a pity-party though and will not dwell on that which I cannot change. Hope is a tricky thing for me and yet that which still slightly burns inside me, and for this reason I’d like to believe that 2022 will be a better year for me. The little spark of hope that won’t die would like to believe that, truly.

With that said, in the spirit of being positive and hopeful, I’d like to share my 2022 resolutions with you guys. Admittedly, I did not make these at midnight on the 1st, but nonetheless they are resolutions that I’d like to have down “on paper” so that I may reflect on them a year from now. I’ll narrow it down to my top 3 and will consider revising as time goes by.

1) Keep up with EA. I love to blog, I paid for this blog (really). I owe it to myself to put some time and effort into something that makes me happy and not jump ship as soon as things get tricky, which I tend to do in general.
2) Wear/use my pretty things. I save so many things for… I’m not even certain anymore for what. I’m always afraid that I’ll never find xyz ever again because it’s limited edition so I save it for another moment- yet these moments never come. In an effort to spend less and actually use what I have I’m going to challenge myself to use those things that I’m saving for another day or because I’m scared to never find anything like it again.
3) Remain present. Out of the three, this will be the most difficult. I live in a constant state of disassociation as being present feels very overwhelming for me. There are of course deeply rooted issues for living like this and for this reason I vow to continue on my healing journey so that I can tackle the root cause/s of this. I don’t consider my resolutions things which will be completed in a year but rather ones which will become habits for me that I’ll continue to work on throughout the years. Didn’t intend to be this transparent with this post but truth be told: I’m tired of pretending and filtering my words. Besides, this is my blog after all.

Would love to hear some of your resolutions in the comments below! Looking forward to 2022 alongside you guys.
