2022: The Year that Was

 

Hey, it's 2023 and I'm still inconsistent with almost everything that I do in life. Suddenly, the years seem to go by faster than I have expected. My 2022 was barely even starting, yet the year has already ended. 2022, the year that was, was full of happy memories and victories and less of heartbreaks and heartaches. 

Finally, the world opened up and we were able to go to places that we used to frequent before everything suddenly stopped because of the pandemic. Birthdays, anniversaries, friendships, and whatnot were once again celebrated with loved ones. 

Work was uneventful but I am thankful that I'm still here, alive and very well kicking. I got into one of my dream schools and I was able to celebrate my birthday overseas albeit just an hour away from Singapore but hey, that's a start for my revenge traveling. 

My 2022 highlight is being able to bring my whole family to Singapore to celebrate Christmas and Mama's 70th birthday. I've been dreaming of being able to afford to take Mama to places and this 2022, my sister, Stef, and I, did just that with the addition of the whole family minus Stef and Kuya Boboy.

I haven't dreamt of being able to afford to send the whole family to another country for leisure yet, I made it and God knows how happy I am to be able to let them experience my life here in Singapore. And if I could, I would take them to places just so I could share the joy I find in being in foreign places and discovering not just what the country has to offer but to also to discover a little something about one's self thru these travels.

2023, my year of intentional living. This year, I plan to live one day at a time and do things that would make me happy. This year, I'll be starting my new journey in my academic life at NUS, and hopefully, I'll be able to follow thru with it. Beyond this, I know there will be a lot of uncertainties, especially in my personal life, so I plan to just take it as it is. This year, I will prioritize myself and I will strive to let go of the things that aren't meant for me and welcome those that are. 

Cheers to this year, and hopefully to the many years to come ahead as well! :)
