2020 changed me because there were many things that I did not know were going on around me, and I did not realize it, but now I can identify those situations and take action against them. I learned that although a problem does not affect you directly, it does not mean that it is not your problem. I learned to be more patient in difficult situations, and empathize with others. I learned that my voice is powerful, that only I can decide what I am and what I do, and that loving myself is the most important thing. I learned to trust my mother more and that made our relationship stronger. I learned to let myself feel the pain and not hide it, because it is necessary to feel it to heal.

In my opinion, 2020 was a reality check for everyone, making us realize that we are fragile but resilient beings. I encourage us to raise our voices against injustices in search of equality and equity.

I think that in the future as something uncertain. It gives me hope that things will improve, but that all depends on how we act today in our present.

I believe that 2021 will be a year of restoration and restructuring. We will be more prepared and informed for whatever may come because our strength has no limits.

I end 2020 with the question: 

2020 left me wondering: do I want to know everything? Would absorbing too much knowledge make me unhappy or unemotional?

But what I am sure of is that: I am not the same person as a year ago.
