2021

2020 has been a year I will never honestly forget. From losing my grandparents, a dear friend, to seeing the world lose millions of people. I struggled  (am struggling) with my own anxiety and fears. COVID is scary and the uncertainty of it all is a lot to process.

 Not having things happen as imagined has also been hard. Birthdays, holidays, even work, nothing looks the same. Even looking in the mirror while you are out, you don’t look the same with these masks on. I don’t think anything could have ever prepared us for this year.

Living with an illness as long and hard as I have, I have learned to appreciate my time more so than others. Seeing Times Square last night be so empty was just another reminder of how we all have to just enjoy life day by day. It is so hard to be in the moment and I really think 2020 had me do just this. I try so hard not to plan or try to see how things could be because 9 out of 10 something happens and for some reason it doesn’t happen. I always get disappointed and ruin things for myself. I have worked so hard on this. This past year, I was able to set my own limits and decided to just control what I could. 

2021 my only goals are to keep this going. I also want to keep up with my health goals. I have just a small little bit left until I can maintain.

I hope 2021 brings awareness and empathy to everyone! Happy New Year!
