New Year!

Hey guys! It's Lindsey, here with another weekly blog. This week felt really long, which is a good thing considering it's winter break and all, but was also an emotional roller coaster! Monday, it was New Years Eve! I sent some paragraphs and wished some people a happy new year, but honestly wish I could've said that to more people. I was rushing to get some last minute things done, before the new year began. I also played bingo with my family and it was the very 1st time I ever won, lol! Honestly, I was a mess in the last few minutes of 2k18. My eyes were bloodshot, my skin was so dry and I had a headache. I had a lot of thoughts in my head. Like, wow. I did a lot of bad things that year, a lot of bad things happened to me and I feel like I changed so much. Hands down, 2018 was the worst year of my life(not exaggerating) and it felt AMAZING to see it die, in my opinion. Tuesday, I went kamakana to walk around, even though my grandma told me not to spend any money otherwise, I would have "bad luck" with money. I don't think I spent anything that day, so that was good. I also cleaned around my house and went Walmart<3 I'm also happy that it was a normal day and nothing went wrong, compared to last year. Wednesday, I speant some quality time with ohemaa and her sisters, before they moved. OH! I also finished some extra credit things for school, which was pretty good. Thursday, It was my shishtar's(rosslyn) birthday! I spent the whole day with her and her friends at her house and the park. Whenever it comes to giving gifts, I have to say: I'm soo extra into putting the gift(S) together LOL! Like, If someone were to just ask for scruchies, I wouldn't give them JUST that, like sis noo. I would get the scrunchies, make a poster, write a long af paragraph and give little meaningful novelties. I also saw a movie with my sister and her boyfriend. He's pretty quite, but I guess whatever works for her! Friday, was the SECOND worst day of my life. It was the day I had always been dreading for the past 3 years now and it was the day Ohemaa, Siwa, Danielle, Jojo and Joshua moved... These amazing and unforgettable people who have been in my life for 3 years and are like a second family to me moved... It was so heartbreaking and so emotional, I just... Uhm, ig I just HOPE that it's the worst thing that could happen this year so far.

Highlights and Lowlights. There were many highlights and lowlights this week. One highlight for me was having a new year. This was a highlight for me because, it's like a new beginning for everyone and even though there were a few bumps along the way, it's still better than what happened last year. One lowlight for me was losing my bestfriend and her siblings(Ohemaa, Siwa, Jojo, Danielle and Joshua). This was a lowlight for me because, like I've mentioned before these people meant so much to me and it just really hurts to always lose people who mean so much to you and made such an amazing  impact in your life, for them to just walk out and not get to see them for a long time, it just kills you on the inside.

A lesson I learned this week was to, work smarter not harder. This means, whenever your faced to do something in life, make things easier for yourself by using your head and finding smart methods to make things run faster and more smoothly. The reason why I choose this to be my lesson for the week is because, I thought it really matched with what went on this week. If I had worked smarter and not harder, I would've cleaned my bathroom and my room more faster and have more free time. In the future, I will be sure to work smarter, not harder.
