First things first, did you have a good year?
It was definitely a year. I’m a firm believer that even bad things that happen to you shape you into who you are. So I’m not sure that if I would classify it as a good year, but I’m definitely happy that I’m learning the lessons that came from this year.
3. Do you feel your age?
I feel much older than my age tbh lol
10. What song sums up this year for you?
The Cave ~ Mumford and Sons
“So make your siren's call and sing all you wantI will not hear what you have to say'Cause I need freedom now and I need to know howTo live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope and I won't let you chokeOn the noose around your neckAnd I'll find strength in painAnd I will change my waysI'll know my name as it's called again“
This has been a great year of personal growth for me. For me saying no to being put through shit. For me saying no to letting my anxiety and depression win. For me saying no to toxic relationships and believing that there is no hope left in the world. And for me saying yes to hope, healing, help, and happiness. This song and I go way back, and after pondering for a bit it seems to fit.
12. What was your favorite movie of the year?
Toss up between Baby Driver and Wonder Woman tbh
14. Favorite new TV show?
Ooooo. Hmmm. Broadchurch. Definitely Broadchurch. Which didn’t come out this year but was new to me!
If we are talking about new to this year though, then DEFINITELY The Good Doctor.
15. Which new ship/fandom has taken over a lot of your time, attention, and tears?
Oooh. Let’s see. Probably The Far Meridian? Goodness I fell head over heels for that podcast my gosh.
16. What food did you try for the first time?
I tried Pomegranates for the first time this year!!! They were really good.
25. Do you regret not doing anything?
I regret not standing up for myself more at the beginning of the year. And for letting myself stand back and not enjoy the things that I wanted too because I didn’t want to make certain relationships strained or I feared what they would do if I let myself have fun.
26. Do you regret doing something?
I regret letting myself believe that I’d be better off spiraling into sadness and forging my way without God for a few months towards the beginning of the year. It did nothing but hurt me further.
38. What was the best moment of the year for you?
The most triumphant moment was definitely when we arrived at the ocean after canoening literally all night for like nine hours straight from a very small creek at summer camp to see the sun rise over the water.
But the best feeling moment was getting a job offer in my degree doing what I love.
40. Did anything happen that you were sure would change you as a person but it really didn’t?
Losing certain friends I thought would really affect me, but it turns out that it really didn’t.
41. Did anything happen to you that you were sure wouldn’t change you as a person but it did?
I honestly was not that confident that starting on anxiety meds would work or help me at all and boy was I wrong.
42. What are you most proud of accomplishing?
So many of the strides that I have made in my mental health and personal well being. I have come SO. FREAKING. FAR. this year in my personal growth and bettering my mental health.
43. What have you learned about yourself this year that you didn’t know in the years prior?
I can survive so much more than I thought I could, and I learned that I’m capable of healing from past hurts. I didn’t believe that I would be able to heal from some things, but now I realize that it is possible.
49. What do you wish for others for the coming year?
I wish that everyone would come to a point where they realize how much they do have the opportunity to change other peoples lives, and that they give so much kindness and experience so much good in return.
50. What do you wish for yourself?
My word for this upcoming year is Thrive. I want to Thrive in all aspects of my life. I want to get really serious about getting into the Word and strengthening my prayer life, I want to accomplish the fitness goals I set a couple years ago about being strong enough to defend myself if necessary, and run more races. I want to do the best that I can possibly do at any given moment in my job. I want to grow as an interpreter. I want to Thrive.
