2021 - The Year Of New Beginnings
4 years ago
Hello all!
Wow, 2020 sure was a doozy of a year, huh? Well, for me it was a mixed bag of candy with candied razor blades. So you can imagine how that was. I bet the same can be said for everybody else now, can't it?
Well, all things considered. We survived yet another year, so I suppose we should pat ourselves on the back for not losing our grip. Though the same cannot be said about the unlucky ones. The ones who aren't with us anymore. It is important that we remember them, COVID-19, depression, social anxiety, work related stresses, all contributed to the most pessimistic year in recent times. While many aren't alive to see the little light in the dark, there are those who do, who have endured. But let us not forget those we lost, without them we wouldn't have the strength to keep going forward without them guiding us in our hearts.
In my case; leaving 2020 was... not super out of the ordinary, sure I reflected on what went wrong, what went right. The mistakes I made and the lengths I went to try and rectify them. Hence the mixed bag I mentioned. A lot of things went wrong for me that year. I started 2020 hospitalized with an infection on both eyes that nearly took my eye sight away. Had I gone to hospital earlier I wouldn't be practically half blind and with glasses today. But my blindness can be fixed with a surgical procedure later down the line so I'm hopeful. Beyond that I'm fully recovered and able to see much better than I used to.
On the career side of things, I got the honor of working my dream job at my dream company. While I was lucky to be picked, I didn't stay long due to being terminated and having it hang over my head as I worked my last 6 months. Work related stress, an incompetent management, and neglect of my problems. Since then, a lot of their mistakes bit them in the ass and I emerged victorious for a time, but I ended up not going into the career I wanted with them because of their misconducts and the poor treatment of my contract. I am hopeful though, to work there again but under better management and at different location. I left the company on great terms with everybody, my workmates, parts of management staff and my boss. They all agreed that my termination was wrong on all corporate levels and that they should be ashamed of themselves. I agree 100%, and so does my union. But all is not completely lost, my termination left a huge impact and void that can't really be filled. Turns out I was more valuable and liked than I thought. So all in all, I entered my dream job, worked my ass off, got my ass kicked by corporate staff. But I am able to return and haunt their asses in the future. Damn bastards knew what they were doing and terminating me during COVID-19, but I'm surviving, haha! My union's got my back.
As for me personally? Outside of work and everything? I've been doing alright, achieved a few goals in 2020, fell down into a deep pit of depression that nearly cost me the friendships with some peeps. Broke with my girlfriend of 4 years. Well, we didn't break up so to speak, we just sat down as adults and talked things out and closed the chapter on good terms, no harsh words, no arguments. Just two former lovers returning to being friends. So that was good in my book
There not much else to say really. 2020 for me was just a mixed bag of decent and downright horrible things. But I managed out alright.
2021 will bring with it new challenges, new opportunities. I firmly believe 2021 will be the year things will slowly start to heal and things may blossom and prosper. So here's hoping for that!
Also, it's the year of the cow. So I wish all milky babes out there a happy 2021 and may you bless us all with your milk! We're gonna need it!
