Goodbye 2020 & Hello 2021.
I’ve skipped the advice this week in favour of something a little more heartfelt and genuine as we gear up for a brand new year.
I know everyone is sharing that meme warning people to ignore reflective 2020 posts where people detail all of their accomplishments. I get it, 2020 was an extremely challenging year so bragging about anything other than watching ALL of Netflix or growing your very own sourdough starter would be a bit gauche. But I call bullshit on pretending I didn’t just have the most ICONIC year of my life and you shouldn’t either. Tonight at 11:59pm I will be screaming from the rooftops about how much hotter I got in quarantine and I implore you to join me. I even bought premium tequila, because if it’s good enough for Clooney, it’s good enough for me.
This year I was forced to adapt, look inward, practice gratitude, reflect + really slow down.
How?
Well for starters, I used all my newfound spare time to learn how to speak Klingon, a language that was made for the Klingons in the Star Trek universe. It is a constructed language, not one that developed naturally and only a few people can speak it well enough to converse. !! BRAG ALERT !!
I also got crafty in the kitchen (started making my own vape juice) which has been such a godsend because that toxic liquid is expensive — and we’re in a recession Y’ALL!! I have never looked cuter — or more frugal — sucking back on a USB and downloading all my files. Would anyone be interested in my recipe?
While many of you were wasting time BAKING bread, I was working on MAKING bread. Because employment is so precarious right now, to safeguard my financial stability I started a side hustle, which is to say I became an independent seller #bossLADY for the legging pyramid scheme LulaRoe. Want to become an entrepreneur and join a community of women writing their own story? Message me today!
Lastly, I caught #feels not #COVID and got engaged to the lone tree growing in the back alley of my apartment. We are VERY happy but won’t be able to get real life married for a while because large gatherings are banned for the foreseeable future. Also, is it even legal to marry a tree? IDK, and you know what else?? I DON’T CARE.
As you can see, despite challenges, I’ve made MASSIVE strides, like finally purchasing a Spotify Premium membership and starting an aggressive flossing routine that has my gums throbbing on the reg (no kink shaming).
It’s called #growth baby and I can’t wait to see what #2021 brings. Cheers to all!
What did you do this year that you’re proud of?
