A year ago I was in a completely different place. Although 2021 had plenty of roadblocks and lockdowns, I ended the year in a rough mental state and felt stuck. I didn’t feel like I had grown much or challenged myself enough. On a quiet New Years eve, I told myself that 2022 would be different. 

The last week or so I have been feeling a positive change in a few ways. I try to avoid negative thinking in general but the last couple of years and the last few months have been especially difficult. COVID has brought a heavy weight to everyone’s shoulders.
