I loved and hated 2020.

Just like every year, this year was challenging. But more challenges came along the way - challenges we all faced together, as a WORLD.

I loved this year.

I learned new things I am proud of, I stay focused and motivated. I grew my audience with thread. and realized this is what I was meant to do. I gained more confidence in me and in what I do. My project evolved, and I evolved as a human being. I've become more creative. I felt more connected to nature. I still got to laugh a lot. And I got to give more love to people than ever before.

I hated this year. Some of our plans and dreams were cancelled and shattered, we lost people we loved, we witnessed chaos and hatred more than ever before. I honestly couldn't keep up with 2020 anymore. Annoyed, mad, sad, frustrated, helpless, depressed, anxious. All these feelings all came together at once and it was fucking challenging. For me, for us.

When this whole thing virus started, I really thought that people would become more HUMAN. Maybe it did for a short period of time. But it didn't last. Humans kept making the same mistakes. Humans kept acting like they were not even human. It never stopped. When one issue ended, something else came up. In my town, in my country. In your country, in your town. In our WORLD. And add to that our own personal issues and struggles. 2020 sucked.

But despite all that. We stood back up and we kept going.

I miss travelling. I miss my friends. I miss my family. But I learned to enjoy what I do have and appreciate every little thing. Today I am finding hope every day. I find hope when I talk to you, to my friends, my family, to strangers. I find hope when I listen to music, when I go outside and look at the sky. I find hope when I see people going after their goals. There's still hope.

There are still so many things to change and fix in this world. And I know it won't change overnight. But I really hope people will learn from this year and start being more human every day. Less selfish. Less mean. Less agressive. And more understanding. More thoughtful. More empathetic. Life is not always about you, or me. It's about us. It's about everyone else.

LOVE. That is all we want/need, right?

Let's be honest. 2021 will be hard. Maybe even harder. But we can make it less difficult by being better humans every day, and by helping each other out. And also by creating/releasing new music and chasing our dreams :)
