Even though this year was unexpectedly one of the worst years ever, there was still so much good seen and experienced. My graduating class did not get to experience prom or a traditional graduation. We did not get to hangout with friends as much and make the memories we wanted during our last summer together as teenagers. We did not get to take our graduation trips and vacations. All that aside though, I will be focusing on the positives of this year in this post.
Lowkey 2020 wasn't even my worst year yet. We graduated high school!!! I am so grateful to not be in high school anymore. My friends and I successfully pulled off a trip to Florida during these crazy times. I moved half way across the country! We all started college. I got to fall in love for the first time. And I finally got my first boyfriend, something I used to think would never happen. This year had so many surprises, some bad but some immensely good. This year allowed me to let go of tennis before I began to resent it fully. It allowed me time to spend quality time with friends before moving away. Online learning made it possible for me to pass calculus lol, something I never thought would be possible. I was tested this year by heartbreak, but in these low times I was able to find myself and what I want. Then I found what I wanted. This year I found immense amounts of happiness. Globally, it was interesting seeing the impact of Covid-19 and how the environment changed when we hit the pause button on our usual day to day activities. The break in routine gave everyone time to reevaluate what is really important in our lives. It also gave us time to make some self improvements, let go of some of the clutter within us. Maybe even let go of some people.
Going into 2021 some resolutions I have are: to travel as much as I can to make up for lost time, eat healthier and exercise (wonder how long that will last), practice manifestation more consistently, declutter my mind and think positive, continue to love endlessly and grow in my relationships with others, make tons of new friends, and make lots of money:)
This was the year that I followed my heart and my dreams. I learned not to regret decisions I make and I am at peace with what didn't go my way this year. I will forever remember the year 2020, not just because of Corona, but because of all of the good I experienced. Happy New Years yall!
