People change for the worse sometimes.

I've learned that without anyone to have a mask around, all the emotions and negative thoughts I've suppressed come to light, and I have to face them. I've always prioritized others before myself, and now it was time to take care of me. The first part of this journey was dark and tedious, I felt like I could never pull myself out of it, that there was no point in worrying about everything. But overtime you allow yourself to grow and love yourself and things tend to get better eventually. Just keep trying, you don't need a purpose to live, the fact that you're alive is all the purpose you need.

I had a big stent with depression for a good four to six months, and I'm still feeling some of the symptoms. But, I realized that if I keep a goal and force keep working towards it, I can overcome almost anything.

I got an eating disorder, became depressed, and starting having a lot of anxiety after the pandemic started. And I didn't know who to go to for support, but I started to see that people do care even if I can't see them.

# data[].attributes.body
The pandemic honestly brought me down a lot in mental health, but at the same time, it's helping me focus on myself because I don't go out or talk to people. It's not like I don't care about others and their issues, I'm glad whenever I get to help someone or at least listen to them, but for the most part, I'm focusing on myself for now.

I was able to really see the true colors in people. Learning this new side of people gave me a different perspective of them and the way I am. I started noticing that I was the only one seeking them out, so i stopped. I started living for what matters. As my family grows I expect great things for 2021.

My mentality and outlook on problems and difficulties strengthened and i am a lot more careless about the little things that will not matter tomorrow

Friends and family can give you all the support in the world but in the end, it is yourself that has to make the decision and have the discipline to push yourself forward.

I stopped being afraid of change and evolving, I began to take risk with myself in order to feel better in my skin.

Being uncomfortable leads to growth.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to value and cherish the little things and moments

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to let go and cut people out of my life if they were no good for me and my mental health, although it hurt and made me feel bad, they were toxic and I've learned to live without them.

I learned that everyone goes through things behind closed doors. Relationships are important and rebuilding the important ones helped me. Change is different and it can be okay at times. Lastly I learned that I have to let go, they’re in a better place now.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that this time alone wasn't just filled with negativity, it was more of a time for personal growth and improvement. The friends that stuck around and gave me support will most likely stick around later and I hope that we can continue to support each other.

What I can take from 2020 is that I have to live life to the fullest because it's too short. Just like how covid affected this year, that not everything is granted to us. I've learned that their is no one else there for you but just yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I've learned many topics about life whether good or bad and made me question all lot of things.

# data[].attributes.body
I grew into a better version of myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned to be more confident about myself. I had always had a pessimistic view about everything around me, but the friends I had who were with me this year had all helped bring me more confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned the value of loved ones and friends and how tomorrow isn't guaranteed and that you need to cherish those you really love while you still can.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned I can't help everyone. In order to help the most people possible, I need to think about myself first. Otherwise I'm just a burden to those I'm trying to help and support.

# data[].attributes.body
i learned how easy it is to stay in my shell and block out the people around me. 2020 helped me realize how important it is for me to acknowledge when i need space and when i'm isolating myself

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that I feel a lot more comfortable with a schedule. Even the little bit of stability during such an uncertain times can help me so much. I also learned to make priorities on things that I need (to do) rather than I want. During quarantine, I have really just spoke to my family and didn't leave much time even for my good friends and I really regret that and is part of my New Year's Resolution.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to disassociate myself from toxic friendships/people. This may seem like a little thing, but this is a huge milestone for me. I also lost some friends last year, and yeah it hurt me at first, but it made me grow as a person and I feel as if I have flourished into a better person.

# data[].attributes.body
In 2020 I learned to stop living for others and find the things that make me happy.

# data[].attributes.body
This year showed a lot of people, especially me, the importance of perseverance. Now more than ever we need to be able to go through whatever life throws at us without stopping. 2020 also taught us the importance of family and friends. We've been forced to be socially distant and it showed us how important our family and friends have been.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to be more chill and that there are people who care about me.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned the value of human relationships. I always knew I liked people, but I think I overlooked how important being together was. Now, I hope to cherish every human interaction I have and be "in the moment."
