I came into 2018 with so many resolutions. I was determined that it would be my best year yet. But as life would have it, the past 2 months have been hectic for me. It took me a few weeks to realize that I was in the middle of the longest depressive episode as far as I could remember. I was working long hours without adequate rest. I hadn’t traveled in so many months and I wasn’t making any visible upward progress. I had made a series of bad decisions last year that were causing me unnecessary heartache and I had lost sight of myself. One of my favorite songs by Tank and the Bangas, says “Self reflection should never be confused with whoever is looking at you”. I went and judged myself based on another person’s opinion like I didn’t know better.
