We never wanted to look back, don't we? How pathetic a year it was and took so many lives through the way. We reckon microorganisms can share the shit of us too, where we did ruin our mother earth for so long this year kinda seems like a halt for it.

Well according to me, we deserve such a pandemic for what we have caused our environment and the mother earth.

Still, it feels hard for innocent lives to hook up with this pandemic where the trouble makers are happy in their home singing Christmas fairy songs and partying new year.

My Take on this Year

Like a meme review, I gotta shout aloud on my year review in simple sentences.

One of the best years’s ever in my lifetime, I get to learn a lot, and my growth taking on new challenges came true this year. From broken I turn myself into a creator all the way building up my broken pieces into a castle the best I can.

It was a year of awakening, I believed there is something way beyond we can use our mind to achieve things rather than ranting about ‘ Which series should I watch next? ’ on social media.

I found technology as my closest friend and departed myself more away from so-called real friends. I learned how to live alone and how to grow as a lone wolf.

I found myself more befitting on online forums than my neighbors and relatives. I understood it's just the fucking mindset which decides how you wanna get through this day, not any motivational rapper preaching about success and money.

The best finding was journaling and writing out gratitude somehow got me closer with myself. How cool it would be if you know yourself well?

Found up startup’s shouldn't a trend circus rather something really meaningful. With that been said blowing trends of holding a startup kinda became more like a social symbol.

At last, I tried reading books, which I was dreaming of for years. Pity I couldn't finish one but my intent was never to finish a book instead it was to acquire one meaningful idea from it.

A handful of experience and I opened myself up for more adventures hereafter.

Things to work on

I don't believe in recreating myself for every new year ahead, rather I see birthdays as a great way for this. If you are keen to know about things I might work on next year then I appreciate reading this, Things I figured out before turning 20.

I gotta work more on my personal development and structure a healthy diet for me which I could rely on for the next few years. Work on my body and my mind which I consider as my major assets.

Writing and reading, well I do them but not consistently. In fact, I gotta build the bridge named consistency on everything I do.

Not many expectations but with more lessons I learned by far. Have a great and thanks for reading my so-called blogs every day, you are a legend!
