2013 Reflection

Well, the year end is approaching, and I have absolutely neglected this blog again!!! So much has happened to me this year. Lots of “firsts” and unexpected.

This year had it’s ups and downs. For the first time in my life, the company I’ve worked for went bankrupt. Welcome to the real world, adult life. Which also leads to the first time I’ve ever been unemployed. I have worked since the legal age to work, even worked through my sweet 16. This unexpected break was bitter sweet. From April to August, I didn’t work. It was like a long overdue summer vacation. Because even in high school, I’ve worked through summer. But during this unnerving time, I found my passion in fitness. Throughout my life, I never thought I could have a fitness body. But this summer, I decided on that goal, and now I’m half way there.

This year I’ve also moved half way around the world for a job. I went back to London after almost three years. Actually I’ve went to London for vacation with boyfriend, then went back after a few months to work. It’s pretty crazy. I packed up my life in LA into a storage, and packed two suitcases for a three months living in London. Now I’m back around to this side of the world, living in Vancouver. I feel truly nomadic with this living. At least now, I am able to be with my boyfriend.

This year also gave me a health scare. I became semi blind in my left eye a few weeks ago. That was the moment where my life changed. For the first time ever, I felt helpless. Your eyes are the gates to everything. If you can’t see, there’s not much you can do in life. That was the moment I realized how short life was, and how much I haven’t lived. I’ve always worked so hard since I was legally allowed to, and never took the time to “do me”. This has changed my outlook on life. I’m going to live, as much as I can, to the fullest as I can, while I still can.

This is my reflection for 2013, and I will continue to be a better me in 2014.

Happy New Year everyone!
