Time does pass quickly, never waits, and is always fair to anyone. Tremendously enchanting but at the same time, terrifying. I must admit, 2021 went by too fast. We are still in the middle of pandemics, and everything happened in a blink of an eye as if you closed your eyes a bit longer, you would instantly miss the whole year. Although it felt too fast, I’d like to think that it was because I enjoyed every moment, every scene, every sequence, and every episode of my life in 2021. 2021 it’s been a draining year for almost everyone and it shifted our lives as we know it so while we’re all hoping for a better year ahead.

The year 2021 was one hell of a ride, and it had taught me well just like any other year. It taught me how to take critical decisions regarding my career. I have learned a lot during my time in my previous department, therefore, I need to learn a different area of the business so I moved to the RCS team, and thankfully I got a chance to have the opportunity to expand my skill that makes me want to contribute more because I know the more we give something the more we will receive something in terms of experience and learning so, it taught me to spread my wings and let go of my comfort zone, so I can connect with many new people who will teach me something new in life. Moreover, the whole year of 2021 taught me that negative thinking won’t take me anywhere near happiness because our mind is too beautiful to be filled with thoughts of doubt and fear also it taught me to love more, to understand more, to listen more, and the most important thing is to forgive.

I’m not feeling that great all year maybe everyone does and I’m not just saying it’s one of those moods that always comes and goes, this is different and I’m blaming the pandemic. This heaviness on my chest is getting a bit too much and I don’t know anymore how to make it go away. I know I’m still functioning and all. I’m still functioning and all despite what’s been on my mind. Thankfully, I got a chance to talk with a therapist provided by my beloved company that’s one of the greatest things and something that I am grateful for. One thing I realized is that if you are struggling with something, there is absolutely no reason why you should not ask for help. Asking for help does not make you weak.

What I want to do in the next year, I want to work on myself and my inner peace because I realize that not reacting to every little thing that bothers you is the first ingredient to living a happy and healthy life and if I had the chance I want to learn something new via a short course or online lessons. On top of that, please be kind to everyone, especially yourself.
