REGARDS, 2021

The first 6 months of 2021 felt like a continuation of 2020 for me. It was still filled with hardships that I had used to. No more tears because I’ve adapted but still it was kinda hard. But, I can say it was better than 2020.

This year, I experienced something that I’ve never imagined before, a gap year. And I never expected it to be a great experience for me. Not only to heal and relax, but also to know myself better. I started to learn sewing more seriously and made some clothes, but well I’m still learning so there are still tons of mistakes.

Last night, I reflected what 2021 had taught me, from the happy and sad experience I had this year. I can’t describe how amazing it is to be here today. I couldn’t imagine that if I entered fashion college, would I learn something that I wished without being over stress? Would I learn something but still have time to relax? I’m not saying that it wasn’t hard or that I wasn't stressed out, I did, but I was still happy because I learned work-life balance.

And the greatest news I have for myself for the end year is, throughout this year I’ve become closer to myself, I started to really know my limit, validating my feelings, listening and comforting myself. It may sound crazy, but it was the greatest thing, after all we only have ourselves with us right?

2021 may have brought pain and hardships, also changing the plan I’ve made. But, it was still a great year, indeed. And we all know, it was because of God’s grace and kindness. I started to be anxious on how 2022 would be, but then I looked back to His greatness in 2021, and I still couldn’t believe what He gave me this year. I believe that next year, He will accompany me too, so I shall not worry. I’m just hoping that 2022 will be a great year and I’m sure it will be because He is walking with me.
