My year in 2019...

So, 2019 was a very interesting year for me on quite a few different levels. I'm not going to go into alot of detail about things, because its not everyone's business what all happened to and for me during 2019, but I want to at least mention a few milestones and what I believe are accomplishments for me, that happened in 2019.

January 18, 2019 — I ended up leaving Gareth and my cat Tallie and coming to Richmond, VA to visit my friend of 10 years Brian, when I ended up deciding to just try living in Richmond, VA, because I knew if I went back to Gareth then the dream I've had for 10 years of being in Richmond, VA and living here wouldn't ever happen if I didn't just go for it while I was already here, so I ended up going for it.

April 26, 2019 — I got my first job as a housekeeper in a hotel in downtown Richmond, VA.

June 2019 — I turned 34 and ended up moving closer to downtown Richmond, VA as well as closer to where I worked.

July 2019 — I ended up learning how to ride the buses to get around town and save money then spending most of my money on Lyft and Uber rides to places.

August 2019 — Started working on paying off my credit cards and getting my credit score better again, because I feel off track with that for awhile.

November 8, 2019 — I ended up getting my learner's permit for the first time ever!!! Which is a goal I have had to do for 10 years now.

November 21, 2019 — Was the last day I ended up self injuring (I'm working on recovering from it).

November 2019 — I don't remember the exact date, but I started working on paying for my first car from my friend Brian.

December 2019 — I had a great Christmas with my friend Brian and Otter, which I wasn't expecting at all.

So, I'm so glad I made the move to move to Richmond, VA finally, because it has helped me accomplish goals that I have had for years like, working, driving (legally), being independent (learning how to get around on the buses), working on stopping self injury (which is something that I want to do, but am afraid to do), meeting new friends (Otter), being closer to my friend Brian, living and working in downtown Richmond, VA, having my first Christmas with friends.

2019 wasn't my greatest year, but it also wasn't my worst year. It was a good year for me in general. However, I'm really hoping that 2020, will be a better year for me in general and that I will accomplish more of the goals I have for my self and see what else new and exciting happens for me in 2020.
