It’s actually embarrassing to look back on last year’s resolutions for 2020. So sure was I that not only a new year, but a brand new decade would ring in massive change and I would finally learn to live my life without fear. Cute.
On re-examining the things I wanted to achieve this year, it all reads like a bit of a joke. Except, well I’m still standing, aren’t I? I’m still typing this with a degree of humour though that might waver from time to time. I didn’t leave fear behind completely but along with the rest of the world, I did face a goddamn global pandemic head-on, and that’s not to be sniffed at. Step outside my comfort zone, I said. Good one.
So I look back and it makes me smile. I was on the cusp of interviewing for the job I’ve been half doing since the end of January and it’s been a ride. I love it and feel frustrated with it in equal measure. Soon it might not be my job anymore and if that’s the case, I’ll be aiming to step outside my comfort zone again, to search for another role. Another place to start again.
It’s almost exciting.
I just don’t think I’ll be telling the Universe my plans this time around. Day by day is fine for now.

And that’s why I always tell people not to make resolutions! Lol I had zero expectations and I surpassed them. Talk about a win! 😅

Hahah. That’s what I tell myself every year too but I always give in. Oh well. I’ve learnt the hard way this year! ❤️🥰

I survived having covid, sold two paintings, edited an arts blog for 7 months, had VANS designed sneakers and sold a pair to a friend, lost weight and gained a few lbs back, almost lost my job but found my way back to an earlier position…Turned 50 but can’t wait for 2020 to just end

I’m very with you on that, I’m sure there’s still lots of work to do but I’ll be happy to file this one away too. You’ve had quite the year! Here’s to everything you’ve achieved xo
