Looking back to 2020 and forward to my a 2021 dilemma...
5 years ago
General
We all know 2020 has been a weird year. But now looking back on it, I can be quite grateful on everything that happened so far. As even due the virus stuff screwing over a bunch of stuff. Still a lot of positivity happened for me.
I started my year off with a bang, celebrating new years eve on a fur con was great and the moments in the bar are just memorable. Right after the con, I boarded a plane and finally revisited Florida for my Rollercoaster fix. Met some amazing people and enjoyed it fully with a bunch of new ride experiences added to my list.
March was bizarre month. The virus stuff slowly rolled in closer and closer. Still optimistic of everything I still visited some good friends in Canada and really hoped Furnal Equinox could continue. Sadly this wasn't the case and with the virus threat getting bigger and closer. Eventually drove over 2000km to a different airport so I could fly directly home.
If it wasn't for the virus stuff, lots of fun planned stuff would have happened at FE. But then again, now due the virus I've had the chance for a roadtrip that otherwise wouldn't have happened like this.
Back home, all the typical stuff happened. Most people going crazy, others went out of job. But for me. It's been a moment of rest and relaxing. The tourism sector I work in, was completely down, thus me having no actual work to do and I was actually very content with that. We all kept our hopes up this is was only for a short duration, but suddenly that empty agenda was really lovely to have. Normally I'd come back home from a trip and immediately I'd have to go back to work for about 6 days a week, averaging 10-13 hours a day.
This moment of rest got longer and eventually after about 3 months of nothing. We got temporarily rerouted to support the public transport. Again, new experiences opened up and it was great being actually out and do some stuff again. In between I did a few small roadtrips to a few themeparks. Some being very positive in their way of dealing with the virus. Others sadly quite negative. Luckily, my common sense kept me healthy so far.
The virus kept pestering the world and the inevitable thing happened: Half our company got laid off. With perfect timing, the work we did for public transport moved over to a different company and they were actually looking for people with experience in that area. Providing a smooth working transition for me.
Now the work has been on and off, which is nice as I actually get some time to work on myself as well. Finally been exercising more and actually have some time to work on the huge list of stuff I wanted to do. With all those months that happened, it's amazing to see a small dent in the to-do list.
Yet now, at the start of 2021. I notice it's really hard to make a proper dent in my to-do list. As I start to notice that even with all the additional free time I have, I just want to do too much. I have so many things, with some being just an endless circle:
- I want to continue losing weight and get back in shape.
- Make a dent in that huge list of unplayed games on steam/epic games store.
- Replay and/or just finally finish playing many of the other games.
- Improve my drawing skills.
- Keep up with my social circles and friends.
- Finally get around to post more of all the fursuit pictures I own.
- Reload on social fun and experience new stuff.
- Improve my skill in various rhythm games and compete in competitions again.
- Fixing/repairing/cleaning some of the plushies in my house.
- Finally work on some suiting ideas I have.
- Etc, etc, etc...
Basically the list goes on and on. I already am prioritizing stuff, but being stuck with some of those endless circles. I feel it'll never shrink down. Then again, I don't want to drop social contact either as I already feel I'm neglecting it too much... Really, I am amazed at some of the people keeping up with their social media and fan base. How they do it? I don't know.
These 2021 struggles are probably going to get bigger again as soon as work properly takes off again...
Thank you for reading if you made it this far.
If people have any tips, ideas, suggestions on whatever works for them best. Feel free to let me know. <3
