I guess I do not need to say it. 2020 is a weird one. Bad weird. There were a lot of highs, mids, and lows. The mids and lows drown out the highs though, by a margin.
Honestly, I am not sure if I should be optimistic or pessimistic about the upcoming year(s). It seems like every time something positive happens, something negative tops it. As if Covid-19 wasn’t bad enough, other things keep happening.
Despite all things that happened, I still learned a few things about myself in this situation. Here they are, in no particular order:
1. I love a good mix of working from home and in the office
This keeps me from slacking off. When I work in just 1 area for a prolonged period of time, I become unfocused. Unproductive. At least this was the case ever since the lockdown was called for.
2. I can easily be influenced, especially in IG.
IG influencers can definitely call me a sucker. I became a plant mom, again, because of all the monsteras and pothos I see. I tried out this pink clay from sand and sky. I was into CGM. And a whole lot more I don’t want to bore you with.
3. I love plants
As mentioned in #2 and in this blog post, I love plants. Always will. Green is just a relaxing color and caring for them seems to lessen the stress normal day-to-day situations bring. I just wish I had more space and with it more plants.
4. CGM is not for me
I tried it, but after 1 year I decided to give up. I have played around with different products and techniques, but the results are just not that noticeable. My hair is still frizzy and dry. I had/have dandruff from all the different products I tried, even those that are supposed to stop the problem. And lastly, I just do not have so much time and patience to do it all the time.
5. I love milk with Espresso
No, this is not flat white. Maybe some sort of lazy man’s flat white, I warm milk up in the microwave, then add a shot of Espresso and add sugar. Is there a name for this? But no matter how much I love this, coffee still hates me.
I know the image has foam, I sometimes indeed go the extra mile.
I wonder what new things I will learn about myself next year. What about you?
