@elinrfj: hello and happy monday you lovely people <3 I know that this time of year is often overwhelming with the noise of self-reflections, celebration and visions of new goals as we begin to reflect on the last 365 days. Usually i would consider myself a glass half full kind of person but if im being honest, i found that even the with all the good this year, the absence of a loved one dimmed my vision on the world and simply wished to forget this chapter and start the next However, after a few conversions - i realised no matter what cards you’ve been dealt this year - you can always find the silver linings even amongst the hardest of situations. I always thought that grief changed me in a negative way but after some reflection I’ve come to realise this is not the case. Losing someone so suddenly changes your perspective on life and it can be a gift in the strangest of ways. It has reminded me how short life can truly be. It has reminded me to love deeply because our time isn’t guaranteed. A reminder that even in the face of fear do it anyway because we may never get the chance again. To remind those who matter to you that they are loved and say a proper goodbye everytime as it may be their last. To follow my heart and do whatever makes me happy because we wont be around forever. To not to ‘wait’ for the perfect time because tomorrow isnt promised So, the year that i had initially had longed to forget may actually have been the biggest catalyst for growth and it has truly helped me see that you can always find the silver linings - with a little help of the pockets of wisdom that my dad left me So I hope no matter what this year taught you or blessed you with that you take the time to find those silver linings because they are there - it may just take alittle longer to figure them out xx Lots of love Elin xx #reflection #newyear #grief #perspective #parentloss #fyp
