2019 *** This was probably one of my favourite years, as it was the one I had worked for and waited for the most. I spent the first four months living on a ship and the summer at home. This meant until I moved to London I had never gone more than two weeks without Summer weather for over a year. Getting to move to London for university was a dream come true for me - one I have had for a decade now. Now, I am closing the year up at home before returning to London.
This year has not been without its challenges. I did not know anyone on Semester At Sea or at university before I got there. For someone who is an introvert, has (social) anxiety, and spent the last two years of highschool pretty isolated (due to health reasons and logistics), it took a lot of courage and a whole of physical and emotional energy to navigate both of those adventures. And, over the summer I did not let myself get too comfortable I spent it pushing myself too grow and strengthen in other areas of my life. This has definitely lead to some crashing and burning, most of which I have been experiencing since coming home for the holidays.
I learned a TON of stuff in 2019 and I got to experience so much! I am so grateful for the friendships, travels, and education 2019 has given me and I am looking forward to more of it in 2020.
patience + gratitude + belief + work
In 2020
I am doing another year of university, getting my health coach certification, continuing to improve my own health and relationships, keep travelling, let play time be play time and work time be work time, continue to grow my business, and overall keep learning, experiencing, and reflecting.
But probably the biggest lesson this year is I need a phone with a better camera.
