Hello, everyone! It's the last day of 2020 but before we move to a fresh start of another year, I guess it is but rightful to reminisce and do some flashbacks of how your current year has been.
Two days ago, while lazily browsing videos on Youtube, I saw this interesting video by Julie Nolke. She made a video wherein her future self visits her current self to explain
about the pandemic.
Her concept was interesting and funny and so I'd like to apply it here too on my throwback post.
And just like that, let's rewind time back to January 1, 2020.
3..2..1..
Hello, Straykat!
I am you from December 31st, a few minutes before 2021.
Well, well, well! Look at you waking up so late on the first day of the year. You know, you might want to consider fixing your sleep schedule for a healthier body. You don't want to get sick on the coming months, even if it's just a simple cold of cough. Also, I know how much you spend time on the internet but it will be more awesome if you rest your eyes more often. Stop scrolling like a zombie, please?
You won't believe it but this year is going to be chaotic. Something you have never thought of. But guess what? Your introversion is going to like it because finally, it feels like the whole population needs to adopt an introvert's life. Chaotic for majority but not as much for you. Faces covered, moving away from people, no talking, no gathering, mandatory rule to stay home. You won't believe it but it's all going to happen and extroverts are going to despise it. You're not meeting your friends this year or any new people in person.
I know, bliss!
Anyway, that animation story channel you've been thinking of doing? Just try it. LOL. 馃槀 You are me so I know how you are struggling between being motivated and unmotivated. Forgive yourself if haven't done as much as what you are planning. Create whenever you want to. Also, this is important. Someone is going to dislike your channel name and it's the person's problem not yours. Remember that.
By the way, get yourself ready because your going to put your hands on the soil more often three weeks from now. It's unbelievable and so sudden that you got interested planting. It might get frustrating sometimes but trust me, it can help you survive the chaos that's about to come.
Speaking of survival, it's funny but you'll try your best to create foods like mayonnaise because you can't go out. But you need it for your carrot salad so you have no choice. Texture is awful but taste is 100% good! If you can buy lots of foods early March, then please do. And savor that burger you're eating on March. It will be your last dine-in meal for this year.
You'll love online shopping more than ever and you will be very thankful for it. But don't get worried, you're not spending all your money! You're a better consumer now. No more impulse buying. Aha! You'll shop for the things you only truly need and been wanting for so long. Good job! However, your room might get crowded more than ever and it might bring you more stress. Schedule days for cleaning, perhaps?
I am also warning you to save up for a new laptop. Your laptop will act crazy some time this year. It will not die soon and you're going to be able to use it again normally because you'll find a way to fix it, but heed the signs! Back up your files soon!
For some good news, I know you're frustrated about not being able to attend ONE OK ROCK and BABYMETAL's concert in May. Don't worry because you're not going to miss it. Everyone will, actually. LOL. It's something you shouldn't be happy about even though it seems like destiny and luck is on your side. However, that doesn't mean you're not attending any concert this year! You will be able to go to Japan for a concert at the comforts of your home. Isn't that awesome? Haha. Ah, you will know it when it happens. It will be the new trend, actually. Going to concert venues might not happen for a while.
And speaking of music, I know you'll be very happy about what I'm about to tell you! You will finally get a hold of that instrument you've been dreaming of since last year. You'll be able to play it properly and no longer have to play on apps. You will also start a Youtube channel for it. Well, good luck with that. I know how big procrastinators we are. Good luck to me creating for two channels.
Later this year, you're going to have one business idea you really want to pursue though you are still unsure how to do it. I know, it's my job to find that out. There's actually a lot of things you wanted to learn and do but you've started almost nothing this year, really. It makes me feel very much pressured right now!
But hey, I'm really proud of you because you've exceeded a goal which happens rarely. That goal of having 1,300 Hive at the end of the year? You did it, far more than you'd expect! Congratulations!
On the other hand, you'll also make friends online with someone from that old blogging site. It's a friendship you never thought would happen. I know you're not one who opens up a lot about your problems and other personal issues but you'll feel comfortable opening up to her. You'll also receive two handwritten letters this year from your online friends. <3
Well, that's all you have to know. Don't worry because you're going to be fine for the rest of the year. Life may not have changed significantly but I promise, you will be feeling better than how you're feeling right now. Stay calm and do what you think is best for you at the moment. Right now, it will be my turn to work for our goals and dreams. :)
It feels weird talking to your past self. Haha. I want to talk to my future self next!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
