Birthdays are never easy. I remind myself of this every year and acknowledge that it is a time to reflect. This year it is hitting me harder then usual probably because I feel like I have not achieved much and by my age I should be diving into life head first.
I'm going to make a list of what I have learned this year, what I have done and try to create a summery for myself.
- I travelled - Poland, Germany, Switzerland, France (on my own).
- I taught myself how to sew - I'm actually good at this.
- Caught up on a lot of reading - including buying hundreds of dollars of new amazing books
- Started a collection of beautiful vinyl toys
- Worked with a bunch of visually impaired actors
- Met a ton of amazing inspiring people
- Got many jobs that I did not expect to get
- Gained friends or re enforced existing friendships
- Assisted someone with Lighting design for the first time
- Got my name on a couple show posters
- Bought my very first expensive piece of art
- Saved a life (I don't believe it but a friend has told me I have done it)
- Grown a little bit in hight
- Started relationships (and ended them)
- Tried to get help - and gotten it even if not successfully
- Experienced new parts of Toronto
- Gotten another tattoo
And most importantly... I Survived a whole year. That on it's own is good enough to go out and celebrate.
