#2019 highlights

[torreymercer]

2019 highlights: visiting Boston and Salem Massachusetts for the first time, headlining OC Pride, visiting Australia for the first time, headlining Palm Springs Pride, performing in an incredible original composition feminist project with La Jolla Playhouse, catching Josh Dunn’s drumstick with one hand in a crowd of over 50,000 people, having my music streamed over 40,000 times this year, and ending the year by booking my first west coast tour.

This year has been such a journey, overall has had many highs and lows, and big growth moments. But this is the year where I’ve really started seeing things turn around. And where I finally know with absolute certainty what I need to do next. My EP is going to be dropping in early 2020, I can’t wait for you guys to hear the finished product. Happy New Year to all, let’s dance our way into the roaring twenties 💃🏼🎉

(this is mostly for my own sake but i’ll post it anyway)

- wrote a shit-ton of gay stuff AND submitted my first piece of creative writing in a competition!

- applied to fucking college and got some scholarships because i’m hardworking and smart despite what i usually tell myself

I’ve read a few wrap-up posts lately and seeing people celebrate what they have achieved this year inspired me. I wanted to do one of my own, but as well as looking at what have been strong posts f…

2019 Highlights

What I enjoyed most this past year:

Nectar in a Sieve, by Kamala Markandaya The first book I read in 2019. It’s such a beautiful story with seductive writing.

The Stand, by Stephen King This is the year I discovered Stephen King. I’ve read six of his novels this year, and I can’t wait to read more. My favorite King novel so far changes daily. They’ve all been addictive, stay-up-all-night page-turners.

Saint Anything, by Sarah Dessen Also the year of Sarah Dessen. I’ve read nine of her novels this year. Saint Anything and Just Listen were the standouts. Vulnerable heroines and love interests whom you can’t help but root for.

A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L’Engle One of the classics that I regret not reading earlier. One of the best children’s stories that carries the ominous foreboding of adultood.

Trick Mirror, by Jia Tolentino Tolentino is the perfect writer for today. I am so insanely jealous of her powers of observation, keen intelligence, and thoughtful stylish writing.

2019 Highlights

10: GMM

I started watching GMM late November 2018, but it still makes this year's list. I am greatful for the cheer-me-up it provides and I am greatful it's something my whole(little) family enjoys. On top of that, the Mythical Beasts here in Tumblr have provided me with even more fun and a few friendships. I feel accepted in this fandom and that means a lot! ❤️

9: Work

Work has been very challenging this year. We had so many children who needed help with various things and a few who needed a diagnosis for us to provide proper help. This proces has meant an incredible amount of meetings with so many different people. It's been exhausting at times but also rewarding. I know I'm better equipped to do my job because of it and I know I've made a difference in a little humans life.

8: The people around me

My husband who loves me so much and who shows me every day. No one one can make me laugh like he can and no one makes me feel safe like he does. We've been together more that 20 years and I'm glad we're still going strong.

My always amazing colleagues who help me, encourage me and stand by me whenever I need it. I couldn't imagine working with better people and I feel extremely lucky to have a job I love with people I respect and admire.

7: My heart

My son had a rough 2018 and due to a new class and new teachers in school he is now thriving and happy.

6: Mother hood

I am learning to appreciate that my son is a unique individual and that it's okay that he is a little odd at times. He has shown me over and over again that he is incredibly empathic and smart and that makes me both happy and proud.

5: Friends

I ran into an old friend and the grocery store on a random Monday. We hadn't talked in years and we've managed to sort of pick up where we left off. It's been amazing spending time with her again.

4: Vacay

In May I went on a week's vacation with hubby, son and bestie and we had so much fun. We spent a week sight seeing, eating good food, taking long walks on the beach. I'm so glad we made those memories together and I will look back on it with joy for a long time.

3: Walking

I've walked so many miles, had so many deep thoughts and figured out so much about myself along the way. I'm glad I've takes as much "me time" as I have!

2: Human

I've been there for people who needed to and have grown closer to them as a result. I'm proud of myself for taking part of someone else's burden when they need me to - even when it's been hard.

1: 👊

I've stood up for myself, even when that meant losing a friend. I've cut people from my life who drained me and spent more time with people who respect and love me as much as I respect and love them.
