My year in review was quite intense, because I had ups and downs. But I am grateful for all of my support system for helping me get up and at it again. My days in 2023 were filled with joy and gratitude towards my family and friends who know that I have been through tough situations. Now I have a boyfriend (I actually got back together with him in November). We got back together at a relationspot event and we had a blast. I also got a job at Planet Fitness and it is very fun for me. I basically clean the entire gym and women’s locker rooms. I also was in Beauty and The Beast with Sharing the Arts. I was one of the silly girls with my friends Emma and Angelica, along with my other friends Katie, Ariane, Tommy, Yasha, Claudia, Justin, Brandon, Chris, AJ, Annika, Maeve, Ethan, Evan, Jessica 1, Jessica 2, Conan, Mrs. M and all of the volunteers. I am so grateful for being able to share theater with my friends and family that join this special organization every year. I also got involved with Epic Players this past fall. It was exciting! I also listened to my favorite artists on Spotify and my top 5 artists are Duran Duran, Taylor Swift, The Gogos, Olivia Rodrigo and Madonna.

The music I’ve listened to changed my life in 2023, because everything helped me become the best version of myself.  I also got into a program called Adaptations and I am so excited to join this program, because it will change my life. I also got a new therapist named Candice through a staff member of Ramapo for Children and she is very helpful for my needs and wants. I saw Duran Duran in concert and it was very amazing, because they performed one of my favorite songs, Hungry Like the Wolf.  I am going to Sarasota Florida today to visit my grandma , my brother and my birthplace state. I’m hoping to see my friends Claudia and Cierra there and hopefully go back to Disney (I might just go with Cierra, because my brother doesn’t like roller coasters or any of the rides at Disney) it’s just a question, because I don’t know if I’m going or not. Anyhow I’m so excited for the new year and focusing on my new goals. 

Enjoy your holidays!
