Emma Myles Instagram – You know, I was seeing everyone’s years in review and I was like, I feel like I did nothing. But then I was like, wait a lot of things happened this year. We had 2 🪧’s, I turned 40, I was blessed by Tori Amos, I got my first tattoo, I went back to my homeland, and I basically wrote 2 books. It’s hard when things are happening in a vacuum. It feels like time is just moving and here you are, standing still, the same. But I’m not the same. I am older. My brain has worked harder than it ever has. And I’m coming up on 3 years eating disorder recovery which is enough in and of itself. I don’t have a new year new me goal. I don’t need to be new. And neither do you. I just want to fill my life with happiness and gratitude and art and people I love. I just hope I don’t cut my bangs too short like I did 20 minutes before Valentine’s Day dinner last February. It took way too long to grow them back to normal. To all of my friends who understood that I just couldn’t, to my husband who pulled me up when the quicksand was swallowing me, to my cat who will always be my soulmate, to food, to the miracle of the human body and the resilience of the human mind, to a year that really and truly happened… I am grateful. Happy new year.
