A month to farewell 2020
As I am opening my website, I am realising it is a year since I have written a blog post. Let’s be honest, blogging feels now a bit outdated. After a year of wild Tik Tok videos, reading feels like an otherworldly past-time.
One year has gone and due the “uncertain time” that was Covid19, not much happened and so much happened at the same time.
I had to make a list of what my lock down thought have been during this year 2020:
January - THIS YEAR IS MY YEAR.
February - Feeling so excited to start my new business this year and new project as well as being represented by a new model agency #HOPEFUL
March - People freaked out about toilet and I freaked out about never seeing my Tinder date ever again. SPOILER: I never saw him again, I suspect it was not due to Covid19!
April- My parents told me they were looking forward to see me in September. LOL
May- We had to observe social distancing rules at work soWorkplace Karen packed her stuff and I got an office for myself.
June - IT’S CHAOS. I am thriving. Social anxiety and a chronic illness have prepared me for this moment!
July - Taylor Swift saved the world by writing an album in lock down and I ate a lot of carbs in my cardigan.
August - Having a Pap Smear is the closest thing I had from having sex this year.
September - I am now in a committed relationship with Netflix
October - It’s my birthday, don’t know when I will see my family again. Am I going to die alone with Cat the cat?
November - 10 days holidays, finally! Taking enough pictures to post on Instagram for the year to come. No more idiot is ruling the world so that’s also a win.
December- Crying Christmas Carols could definitely be a trend.
Jokes apart, 2020 was a roller coaster of emotions for everyone. Forced to face myself and my fears, I felt like I have done more inner work in that time than the past ten years. I have new hobbies, I made true meaningful friendships, I realised what I want from my next relationship and I felt grateful for all the times I was just a long-haul flight away from my family. When nothing is granted anymore, you find a new resilience within you to overcome life’s curve balls.
What are you biggest lessons from this year? How did you overcome loneliness and stressful times?
