With the rise of a new decade, the pressure of family, career all seem to be more apparent as the year suggest, double 20s. As I self-reflect in this post, let me share the greatest takeaway and what I want to tell myself and the people around me.

2019 was the year of unexpected events — some things were great, some weren't so. As I talked and met with new people over the past year, I learnt that somehow, somewhere there are also people that are in the same situation like me, that I should not be selfish in thinking in my perspective. Words that I strictly abide with, spoken by me, spoken by others may change all in a split second. Nothing is wrong with that — what was said in the past reflects the thinking of that moment, and changing thoughts are inevitable and that I should embrace change with a happy heart.

Nonetheless I want to thank the people who stood by me during moments of happiness, sadness, anger. I know I can be selfish at times, and the only choice I see in saving what I truly appreciate is by giving in.

Here's to looking forward to the upcoming changes in my life. Good, bad, let's strive to make the end of my 2020 a year to remember for.
