So I haven’t been active here lately… And with what’s been happening around me, maybe it was for the better. I am extremely sympathetic of what has been going on, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and the demonstrations against racism in America. And because I did this blog about my personal growth, I thought it would inappropriate to talk about myself in times when it should be us and we. But in fact, I am happy to be welcomed to my next decennia this way – but don’t get me wrong – I am happy that we’re revolutionizing in our lifetimes, I am happy that I’m witnessing and in a very small way being part of this change for the better – after all we’re planning to send people to another planet – so let’s not build our first interplanetary colony on racism and ignorance.
I recently greeted my twentieth birthday. What a milestone! I actually lived to see myself twenty years after I was born. So this must mean something – not just that I survived – but also that I should embrace it and make the most of it with what I’ve been given.
I need to emphasize on this – I have been feeling quite happy for the past full four months, and despite feeling a little sad on a couple of occasions, I really am glad to say that I’ve officially overcome my worst enemy: depression.
I went through my teens not exactly the way I imagined in my childhood – I lacked confidence, happiness, but most importantly, I lacked love. So I decided to turn that around and now I feel confident and happy, and most importantly: I love myself. I love everything about me – my brain, my balding head, my body with the little squishie on the side, I love my giant nose! So life has been good and I owe that to my guarding angel’s materialization and also to myself and this blog-diary, where I’ve been able to express myself. And despite nobody reading this blog at the moment, it does make a change feeling like you’ve put your story on the internet, completely accessible to everybody. This has been fun and I plan to continue doing it.
