You know which day is it, the eve of my birthday. So let's recap a bit on this last year. If last year was crazy, this year... it's been even crazier. Covid is still around and kicking, so sure that was not ideal.
Usually, I started this recap with the concerts and places I had been to. Concerts, it's definitely a no, I haven't been to one since before Covid. I had some that were dragging from last year, but they kept getting postponed and I ended up asking for the money back. With regards to places, I did try to go home as often as possible, and I took a long road trip around the East of France, Luxembourg, and Belgium with my parents where we saw some very impressive sights. Of note Etrétat was breathtaking, and the cathedral at Amiens which is enormous. And probably the biggest trip of them all, moving across the ocean to New York City for my new job, which was a very stressful and very shocking experience. I have been here for less than two weeks and the shock doesn't fade away. Additionally, I got a new tattoo, which I was not planning to do, but I did. I also got a couple of extra piercings on my ears including a daith, which hurt like a mf.
In terms of personal relationships, I want to say I have greatly improved. I met lots of new people and I didn't have so much anxiety about meeting them. I also thought I had found someone I would have liked to spend more time with, but sometimes things don't work out and sometimes people aren't who you thought they were. All in all, I feel like some of these people have helped me become who I really am. And of course, having much better mental health also helped. But all in all, maybe now I am truly ready to have a relationship. Let's see where this year takes me and what this new city teaches me.
