2019
2019 was a good year. It was a chill year, but a good year.
I ticked off a few travel items off the list, made more time to connect with my neice more, found myself giving into a few more passion projects, ‘tried’ to work on my ukulele skills (failed a little), sewed some christmas gifts (diy tote bags) , made some new traditions. It had its moments, I liked 2019. And keeping my most loved and coveted tradition of all - watch it here 2019 wrapped up in 4’ish minutes.
After the whirlwind chapter of London and settling back into Sydney the verge of my twenties ending, 2019 was a great year to take a step back and look at what kind of life I want to build, to create the kind of life I want to live. And in hindsight with the crazy of 2020’s early months, the world outside you will throw you major curveballs that have you questioning what is your bigger place on the world.
I’ve always found myself pulled into so many directions when it comes how I want to live my life, the job, the life pursuits, the hobbies, the food, not to mention trying to balance out all the experiences and having time for all the groups of people in your life as well as yourself.
From being in marketing and the hustle and bustle of the corporate word, to shift work and the incompatible social hours. From wanting to live in the city, or the suburbs or out rural. To saving money and placing down roots or wanting to continue travel and wander. I feel drawn towards all these options, not to mention wanting to be closer to nature, but I love being able to go to Kmart and browse home decor every other day.
I think making these choices is hardest because of stereotypes surrounding me when I was younger, that when you make a choice, you’ll be loosing the opportunity for the other. But over the years following my heart (barf*) … intuition, I’ve found I don’t want to limit my life experiences. Although it is exhausting trying to follow all of them.
So in 2019 I found myself wanting to reconnect with family and friends, finding a few new ones along the way. Being inspired by those fighting the god fight for that positive change in world and wanting to contribute. Reminding myself to make the most of each day (even though I look at 2019 as taking some down time) even in bettering myself getting new skills, learning more and sharing more. Hopefully with 2020 I’ll find myself doing these things taking up a new path towards the kind of fulfilling life I want to live.
