Happy New Year 2021
2020 was such a roller coaster, but I survived it in the end. January started with Dad's passing. In 20 days, it will be one year since he passed away. Sometimes it crosses my mind that when 2020 started, I was only given 3 weeks to be with my Dad. It saddens me every time I think about that because I didn't think I treated him well enough when he was sick. But then again, I try not to dwell so much on the feelings because I don't like the way it affects my mood. I'm just glad that he didn't have to experience how brutal 2020 was due to Covid-19. Again, God's timing is always the best. February was spent dealing with the loss and cleaning the house, including decluttering all the things that I didn't need anymore.
I think my life started to get better when I adopted my cats. It kinda distracted me from the sad feeling. My aunt and uncle said that I shouldn't have had cats at home, but I'm not gonna let anybody stop me from having cats now that I finally have the opportunity. I never had the chance to do it because my dad didn't like cats. All I can say is that the cats saved my life. I realize that I've become mentally stable and happier at home.
The only time when I cried so much in 2020 was when Haruma passed away, and then some weeks later we lost Yuko. They are two of those many celebrity deaths that I still find very excruciating, even at this moment. The thoughts of not being able to see them again in dramas and movies.... ;_;
My financial state was also badly affected by the pandemic. I used to have at least 6 classes each term prior to Covid-19, but I only had 1 class each term last year. The struggle was really real. Not to mention that I have cats to be fed at home. But fortunately, somehow, money still came from other sources that I didn't expect. I always think that this is because of the cats haha...There is a saying in my country that goes something like this "the more children you have, the better your financial state will be", yeah something like that, and I always think that my cats are my kids lol So yeah, even though earning money was (and is) a bit tough, I'm glad we never lack food, both for the human and the cats :D
I don't have any resolutions in 2021. I just hope that this pandemic will be over soon and we can get back to doing our usual activities.
Wishing myself and everyone to be happy and healthy, mentally and physically.
