I’m gonna make it, through this year

Day 306 / 366

I heard this song for the first time in a John Green YouTube video, and ever since then, this song for me is synonymous with the feeling that I get when the year is about to end.

It’s 60 days still to go for 2024. A lot of people have said to me that the year went by too quickly. And I remember feeling like that last year, or the year before that. But not this year. This year did not go quickly for me. I felt each and every day of it. And I expect the remaining sixty days to be the same.

But as I look back, I am not sad or complaining. I am happy for the challenges that the universe threw at me, and I am happier that I faced them head-on. I worked hard, I fought through my own weaknesses. I didn’t have much external help, nor did I ask for any. But I persevered. This year will forever be proof for me that if you just keep showing up, if you just refuse to give up, things will find a way to work themselves out.

And so I go into the last leg of this year with a positive attitude. I am going to give my best, expect the worst, and accept whatever I get. I am going to make it.

“There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year

I am gonna make it through this year if it kills me”
