It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye 👋🏾
Well… guess it’s about that time. The last blog… you know we’ve been together a very long time, & I promised myself that I wouldn’t cry & I’m not because I’m very happy… (shoutout Dreamgirls lol)
As the year comes to a close, so does Sip Some Tee. If this year hasn’t taught me anything else, I’ve learned when it’s time to let things go. This blog has been my outlet & my safe space since 2018 & the last 5 years have been so therapeutic & healing for me. I still have the desire to create, but just in a different space. What that space is, I really don’t know, but just know that this isn’t the end of our Tee time.
As you all know, while I’ve navigated in this space, that friendship, relationships, & everything in between haven’t been the best for me & honestly 2023 has shown me in so many ways why. 2023 has opened my eyes to new things..to beautiful things…to budding friendships, long lasting relationships, & overall happiness within myself. I was never able to tell the story because it hurt way too much but 2022 nearly killed me so coming into 2023, my hopes were extremely low & if I am being completely honest, I didn’t know if I would make it to today.
This year I’ve navigated a space in my professional career that I’m truly comfortable with & we all know that’s been a long time coming. I’ve grown closer in all of my friendships, & I genuinely receive the love, the care, the guidance, & the hope that my friends pour into me daily. I liked a man for a little while this year…Giving me the hope that my heart is still capable of receiving love… Fingers crossed that love will come this way soon because the dating diaries have been a total mess! So all in all, things are looking up!
A lot of people say that how you start the year is also how you end the year & honestly, I don’t remember how I started 2023 but I know damn well that I’m ending it so much better than when it began. Going into 2024 I want to set goals, but at the same time I want to have the life & the love & the freedom that God wants me to have. Trying to steer my life in the direction that I thought it should go has never yielded any great results, so I’m giving this next year of life & every single aspect to my Creator, knowing that my best interest is in His heart & hands
This is not how I envisioned saying goodbye to you guys but once I realized that I had nothing else to share in my drama filled, chaos filled crazy life, I knew that the time had come. I truly want to say thank you for being my listening ears, my warm hugs, & my encouragement these last five years. I’ll always have things to share, but life is getting so personal now that I want to bask in these moments privately.
In 2023, I turned 35. I realized that not only am I creeping up in age, I am creeping up on gratefulness, peace, happiness, & sheer joy. It is my prayer that as the rest of my 35th year continues on & I walk into this new year of 2024, nothing but greatness follows. If y’all don’t do anything else continue to pray, continue to love one another, & also me & keep doing shit that just makes you happy!
Just know that you can always come back to this space if you ever need A Sip of Tee.
Thank you for rocking with me.
I love y’all forever
I love y’all always
I love y’all deep
In all ways & In all things…
Let Go & Let Love
-Tee
