After a very long time, this feels like the right moment to come back to writing regularly here. While blogging has changed over the years, writing daily was hugely helpful for me and my general mental health many moons ago.

Over the past few years life has felt like it’s been moving backwards, regressing to difficult times and missing out on things we love. There are many reasons, not limited to the pandemic, that are not the things to go into here.

The point I’ve been reminding myself of is that while life might feel like I’m moving two steps forward and one step back, that still means I’m consistently taking one step forward.

It doesn’t matter if that step is tiny, simply shuffling forward is what matters.

There are and will be setbacks, times when I feels stalled or pushed backwards; what matters isn’t the micro picture of what happened today, but the macro picture of what’s happened in the week, month and, eventually, year.

Here’s to inching forward in 2023.
