Open when… 1st January 2027,
It feels so far away,
So much could change, giving it’s still 82 days away,
Yet it feels just around the corner,
Almost knocking on the door,
Goals and milestones still to achieve,
Birthdays and Christmas celebrations to be had,
New year holds something abit different for me this time,
There has been so much growth and progress made,
But the bad days have hit HARD!
From August 1st 2026 ive managed to stay risk free, while later applying and being accepted for a psychology degree, I’ve made new friendships, experienced life to the full, different from not ling before where I was barely surviving in the community without interventions,
2027 may be my year,
Equally it could be hard,
I’m not a fortune teller, nor am I interested in knowing what is ahead of me before it happens,
2027 could be full of achievements, goals, finding my purpose, advocating for others on a similar journey to mine,
It could also face me with obstacles, cross roads, mistakes and challenges,
When I battle the rest of 2026, I hope to be mentally stronger, more resilient and confident with whatever the new year has in store for me,
It won’t be perfect,
But it has the potential to strengthen the life I’ve built so far, rather than for it to crumble downwards,
The bad days I’ve had in my journey have often broken me and reduced me to having very little control left,
That isn’t my life anymore,
And although plans dont always follow through and life can kick us out of the path we were hoping to continue on, I’m in a place right now that I can fight harder, become stronger and avoid relapse,
That’s something I couldn’t do at the start of 2026!
2027, you’re not far away now,
I’m ready for you!
