It's 2022!

COVID GET THE HELL OUT - Said by my President, Kim Namjoon.

Happy new year loves. It has been more than a month since I came here. Apologies to everyone, I was struggling to stay alive lol.

At the beginning of December 2021, I caught covid. It was surprising when I did the test and it turned out positive. I never imagined I would get it, not because I was immune or something but because I’ve been extra careful. The symptoms that came with it were what broke me, couldn’t move or talk for some days, my body felt like it was on fire and my taste of food disappeared, got a constant headache and cold. These were a few of the symptoms I got.

All in all, I came into 2022 feeling less alive because of how depressing Covid left me. I’m okay now, fully negative but Covid is not a joke and the symptoms can be compared to none. So please stay safe out there and get vaccinated if you can.

It’s good to be back here. It feels good to write again.

This is me looking much better after testing Negative for Covid😊

2021

How was your 2021? Mine went by so fast that I felt we were still in 2020. I want to say I lost track of time and didn’t do so much in 2021 but that would be a lie. I achieved so much in growth. Launched my writing on Substack and my very own podcast with my girl. I also did so many amazing personal things. I had a good year.

I wrote a lot than I did in 2020, I wasn’t satisfied with the results but I loved that I wrote a lot. I welcomed the weirdness of my brain and put them out for y’all to read, I’ve still not done so much in that area but let’s hope for the best this year.

I was always the type to never look forward to the new year. it always felt like another day to me, not until I graduated from school and fully realized it was up to me to define my life and what I wanted for my future, I knew I had to look forward to the new year to be able to start afresh and do what I was not able to do the past year. I’m still not a fan of writing goals because I detest pressure but I try to do the little I can do.

Any goals for the new year?!?!

Personally, I’m taking each day as it comes, knowing fully well I have it all planned in my head. Honestly, It’s okay not to have goals, it can be a little depressing when we don’t follow through with them. There is no need to feel depressed about how you spent your year… at the end of the year. Not following through with the goals we set out for ourselves at the beginning of the new year is one of the things that get us depressed. Set a goal at your own pace and if you think you can handle the pressure that comes with it, so be it.

What was my highlight of 2021?

It would be launching my podcast. Just like my personal blog, it took me almost a year to launch this but together with my girl, we eventually did and I’ve loved every episode we recorded. Nothing is as beautiful as letting the world hear your voice and listen to the weird ideas and views you have on societal issues. We have listeners from all over the country and that is a big thing for us.

2022

To 2022, I hope you treat me and the world better, we are tired of the pandemic so take that with you as you leave, alright? Please be kind to us and we hope to experience less pain and sadness this year.

And to my readers, thank you so much for always reading my boring writeups, it means a lot to me that you can take time out of your busy schedule to read my newsletter. I truly appreciate you. Let’s do more of that this year. I have a lot in store for you guys. Thank you.

Here is a cup of ice cream for you to fully welcome you into the new year. Cheers to the amazing things we will accomplish this year🥂
