Dear 2020

Dear 2020,

You certainly threw us for a loop didn’t you? We were all chanting about 20/20 vision and you thought “Ha just wait and see!”. Not only did you show us just how quickly we can lose everything we thought we would always have, you have given us a new appreciation for things we used to let go unnoticed. 

In March, we all thought we were getting a fun two weeks of break, two weeks working from home, a little fun time. Boy oh boy did we learn pretty quick that we would be home and confided longer and with more restrictions added on weekly. 

At first, part of me loved it. I’ve always been a home body but man did that get pushed to every limit possible. I never wished I can do little things like go to the movies or a mall without being terrified of how many items I’m touching more in my life.

2020 has given us the gift of perception. There are so many things that used to be so important that now seem minimal, and things we took for granted that seem impossible to part with now. I think one thing we are all leaving 2020 with is gratitude. We are more grateful then ever for simple items like family time, health, happiness, mental health, etc. Because all these items truly got tested in 2020.

2020 thank you for re-grounding us all, for pushing us all, for making us all see what was right in front of us. I can speak for myself when I say I had a very difficult mental mood for a few months, more difficult than I ever had to deal with before. It’s how my loved ones rallied around me that makes me feel so much stronger now. Stronger, happier, more confident and ready for 2021.

2021 were ready for you, 2020 we learned from you and in the words of Ariana Grand “Thank you, next”!

Talk soon my gems 🥂
