State of My Year – Progression

State of My Year Writing Prompt

Since we are now in July, and June marked 6 months until the year is almost over (can you believe that?! I feel like I literally just said Happy New Year!), I decided to write a State of My Year Post! Let’s dive right into it!

  • Graduation – Check!

I feel like I accomplished a few things that I had in the works from last year. My biggest accomplishment was probably graduating with an Accessories Design degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology.

  • Keeping a Journal – Check!

I made a plan to journal a lot this year because of everything that I currently have in the works — I use the journal that I bought before moving into my new apartment. It’s really cute, its metallic silver with ‘Shine One’ written on the front. I am not really going to share what I write in there specifically but I definitely recommend keeping a journal to anyone that is considering it.

I think that it will be pretty cool to be able to look at some of the things that I was saying and feeling around this time next year. I need to be consistent in writing in it though but that is a whole other post for a whole other day, lmao. Consistency will be my 2019 goal!

I feel like the rest of my goals will be completed towards the end of the year because that is what I have been working toward lately. I cannot share too much but I am super excited God Willing for what is to come. It is a bit of a stressful time but I welcome it all as long as the outcome is all that I have been envisioning.

This is all apart of the process and I have learned that, as well as embraced it. This may sound crazy now but I will make sense in a couple of months when you see what I have been working on :).

  • Trusting in God’s Timing – Check!

I had a slight obsession with time before, and I didn’t necessarily trust in God’s timing. I always felt that if it didn’t happen by this age, or if this doesn’t improve by this time, etc..  it would put a damper on quite a few things. My mom has stopped me from thinking like that. She drills in my head that I must trust in God’s timing and that what is for me is just that — for me.

I don’t have to put a timer on things, just work toward them and eventually it will happen. I’m still very dramatic about the execution of things as well as the results but I have toned it down a bit, lmao.

All of that aside, I would say that the state of my year at this point is alright! I don’t want to be disappointed in myself at the end of the year which is why I am working as much as I can to achieve the various goals that I set out to achieve for this year. I would suggest for everyone else to do the same! Here’s to no disappointments of one’s self at the end of the year!

Work hard, mind your business, and enjoy the Summer 😉
