From the 2023 me

2023 has been a not-so-good year for me and my close ones. I suppose the Chinese horoscope for roosters rang true for my circle.
This year, I was in a car accident, home incident, and there was a period of time I thought I have cervical cancer. Finances are not as strong as last year due to wedding expenses, emergency expenditures and a loss of income. Health has also declined. My stats are not looking so great.
But through these challenges and negative situations, I have also had my pockets of happiness and learnings.
What are some big lessons from this year? I showed myself that I can do it – whatever the “it” is. Whether it be the stressful aftermath of a car accident or learning how to actually cook a full meal, I found myself being able to do things I didn’t think I could do very well – I saw myself figuring things out by myself.
I learned how to communicate better with my partner and how to work together as a team. Wedding planning has been stressful and not as enjoyable as I thought it would be. This year has tested our relationship and I am proud to say we are committed to our relationship, whatever the disagreement or challenge may be.
I learned that through some crazy shit and misfortunes, there is always someone there for me and I am also there for them. There is a lot I can do for my friends and family who are in need and I found myself in a position to be able to give and help others more so than previous years. This is a very important enlightenment for me because I have always seen myself as someone who is not caring, not helpful or compassionate. But this year I have proved to myself that I can be all those things… just not to every one. Only those I treasure in my life.
As the 2023 Loewe, I want to say that this year honestly was bad but it wasn’t all bad. Through this year, I have realized again how important it is to take care of the people around me and with that, I am able to get through anything. We are able to get through anything.
As always, thank you for being here and thank you for reading.
Sincerely, Loewe
