This year was a wild ride. I learned many things about myself and who I am, even though my identity is still hazy. This year pushed me a step further to achieving who I want to be. I learned that I needed to change myself, not for others but for myself. I struggled to put consistent effort into being the best version of myself. I still worked through it and tried to evolve in slow steps. I learned the importance of self love and that I shouldn’t be ashamed to love myself. I worked through my differences and reminded myself that they are what make me unique. 

This year also taught me how to write articles. I have never written articles before. I mostly wrote short stories or poems. Writing articles was a challenge that I had to overcome,and I did. I learned how to have a more productive life outside of technology. I made projects to keep myself busy. I cooked and cleaned. I also took the time to practice writing music. 

I learned that there are many issues that I haven’t faced, and issues that have lingered for years. I realized that I needed help and I tried my best to reach for help. I learned how to make friends. I got to know many people online and real life.

 Most importantly, I learned how to not care about other people’s perception of me. I realized that I needed to strive for myself, and not for others. I found out how to ignore people and continue being happy. I learned how to live.
