GOODBYE 2019 HELLO 2020

Thursday, January 9, 2020

2019 was something.

I was going to make a caption about my recap of the year but it turned out a lot longer than I thought so I decided to make a whole blog post dedicated to it instead.

I know that many have already said that this year they had their highest highs and lowest lows, and I really felt that this year. Usually every year has been pretty constant but 2019 was probably one of the "worst" year of my life (thus far anyway). There were many days/nights I spent with anxiety, fear, tears, burn out, stress, guilt and even hopelessness. All which I do feel to a certain extent on the norm, but all those feelings definitely intensified 100000% more this year. The world threw this really big curve ball at me and it has impacted me a lot. I’m still learning how to handle it as I go, but at least it did give me personal growth. Whatever may happen in 2020, I know I will keep trying.

Aside from all of that - some of the most exciting positive things happened in 2019, too. There were many opportunities and memories that I’m truly grateful for. These are in no particular order:
  • went to a handful of concerts - Ariana Grande, Alan Walker, Manila Kila, Illenium, EZOO
  • traveled to Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang & Nha Trang
  • got engaged on December 6th, 2019
  • got closer to parents
  • collab with Water Country USA
  • worked with a number of quality jewelry brands
  • bought my first higher end luxury bag - small Chloe faye bag
  • decorate a new room to my aesthetics - still a work in progress
  • drove bigger cars (SUV & Toyota Camry) than mine - I'm suuuper uncomfortable/afraid to drive any other cars than my own so this was a big step for me.

Like how I mentioned in my thanksgiving post, this year I am truly grateful for all the people in my life as well as those that I don’t know and are following me through my outlets. Thank you. I haven't been as consistent as I would have liked, but I will try to do better in 2020. I hope y’all’s 2020 will be better than 2019! Sending good vibes, clear skin, and good hair days to you all!
