In Spotify, they have a yearly campaign called "Spotify Wrapped." It is a streaming platform program that lets its users see the songs and genres they listen to throughout the year. Personally, my most streamed artist is TWICE, and my most streamed song is "FEARLESS" by "LE SSERAFIM." How about you? If Spotify lets listeners view or catch up on their listening moments or highlights annually using technology, what about us? By the way, did you get my point? Or maybe I'm only saying nonsense?
Among my 2022 journey, only three genres (sort) made my year memorable. I have had many ups and downs experiences in 2022, but rejections and improvements stood out. These concepts built my character, making me more mature in handling and overcoming challenges.
I think it's been a couple of days since I shared the worst rejection. The only thing that healed me from that situation was to write and write until I got tired of it. I have already moved on partially, but you can still visit this article if interested. During those times, I couldn't help but ask myself if I could continue my dream of holding a college degree since I didn't have any free choices. To make the story short, I could continue my studies with the help of my uncle working in Australia. That's the time when I realized that everything happens for a reason.
After I experienced this greatest downfall in my life, which doubts my capability as a student, I figured out that rejection means redirection. It's still fresh in my memory how I often cried in the middle of the night as I stressed how I could pay my tuition by standing only on my feet. Therefore, I can't help to feel awful for those students who committed suicide after not passing the admission. This rejection was not a big deal not until my father was rushed to the hospital after he got a stroke. If I want to feel better, I'm just keeping in mind the advice of my co-author where we always give our best in a given situation.
Forcing myself to move on after a series of hardships led me to depression is difficult. To make myself better, I read a self-improvement book named "The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach To Living A Good Life" by a Medium author named Mark Manson. A legend once said, "To value something, we must reject what is not that something. To value X, we must reject non-X." This quote makes me feel that we are not always the X (fit) in someone's standard. It's one of the reasons why I don't care if they don't like me, although I knew that I tried my best.
Believe me or not, I've encountered different failures and rejections this 2023. It's hard to swallow the circumstances where I need to say goodbye to my first crypto-blogging account, I was rejected in my dream university and course, and my father got a stroke. To control the results of my negligence, the best thing I could do is to improve. Although some of my concerns are uncontrollable, the best way that I could do to avoid making my other frustration happen is to improve.
Here are some key points that I want to improve and will keep improving.
That's a wrap, baby. Among all the problems that I faced, these are the words that described my entire 2022. How about you? How will you describe your 2022?
