My New Year Has Finally Begun.
I'm writing this from my busted couch in Oakland a half hour after midnight. I'm antsy because I signed a lease to a new place and I'm just overly eager to be in it already. It has a lot of great features and a lofty vibe that I'm super eager to enjoy as well. I've also have been in a pretty dark place since December last year and this is probably the most empowering thing that's happened to me since then. All because someone believed in me.
That's all that pushes people forward. The belief that you can.
From white supremacists who think that they're the supreme form of Homo sapiens to walk the heart to that little pup that barks at the person delivering their box of treats, they all believe something to be true. So true that they're willing to act delusional to defend and uphold it.
I didn't have that for myself. I didn't believe that I could do the things I do now.
I questioned my ability to do my job a lot. My team and manager at work refused to let me think otherwise and I'm doing better than I expected of myself but precisely what my team thought I was capable of. All because they believed. I like this feeling. So I'm declaring that my new year starts today.
Well, more like today when you got this message. Let's see what happens next week.
