annual report 2019!!

Well, this past year was kinda weird and disappointing for most of its part. It started with big expectations of me going to China to work for a year and it all flopped in march and I fell in a deep hole of self-hatred. And on top of that, my bipolar is affecting me and my life not in a good way, it's really hard to manage something when you in depressive episodes.
But by the summer I kinda saw a light in a tunnel: I found a project work and did a full business plan for my mom's business. and after that got interested in media marketing and took a course on targeting on Instagram. And started another project that I plan to launch this month. I also found inner peace with myself about my problems with binge eating and last month I felt better than in the past two years.

Annual Report 2018!

Well, the year passed again and I'm doing this year review I guess. Well, it all started in January when I went to Berlin. I fell in love with the city and its vibe, though I only had like few days to discover it. Then began the last semester in my universities. It was hell on earth. From February to January I barely slept over 4-5 hours a day. But I finished it. Two thesis papers. And two universities.
Then came July - I felt lost for the most part of the summer and fall because of huge depression and apparently bipolar. But in September I went to Italy - it was like a breath of fresh air. I fell in love with this country and definitely want to spend a couple month living in Rome or Salerno.
By the end of the year, I started to become more stable with my mental health and started to prepare for work overseas. And most important of all I actually understood what people I want in my life - and screw the rest.

New Years Resolutions!

Well, I haven't been doing much for my this year things-i-wanna-to-be-done

Soo, I kinda did start eating more healthy, less junk food, more healthy food, but i don't think I've been good in terms of calories. I didn't get back in shape at all, my mental health is getting worse, I should probably see a doctor. But I did practice video editing but i'm no good at it. I almost quit drinking and now only drink on certain celebrations. I definitely did not quit smoking, but i do smoke less. There're days that I don't even smoke at all.
But I did some of those. Time management - yaaah, almost there. Traveling - check. Denmark, Poland, Italy. Did get better at Spanish but not at German. Renovated the apartment - check. Painted some wall, arrange some spaces for storage. But did not maintain this blog. Well, I guess, I did not want it as much. But I'm thinking of doing life-style webpage mostly oriented on travel and on my home country.

So my 2018 resolutions are

German. Learn it. Speak it. Get acceptable score on DAF/DSH
Enter film program somewhere in Germany
Enter journalist program in US (those two can be interchangeable)
Eat healthy and learn to accept myself
Take care of my health and do not postpone doctor's appointment
Continue on that makeover of my apartment
Learn Photoshop/Premier Pro
Finish two universities
Travel more and more and more
Do a travel webpage and do more social projects

Well, I think that's it
see about this by the end of the year

Annual Report

I love writing those reviews every year, like you get to look back at these few years later and remember with happiness about those times. This year was totally crazy. Depression fights and constant mood swings, here you go babe. But a lot good happened this year. First I did my first tattoo (it was a present from my besties), pierced my ears in couple places. I went to bunch of cities that I've never been: Rome, Copenhagen, Bari, Warsaw. And travel a lot in general. I met amazing people from London, spend random nights in bars. Get drunk for like 3 days straight. I did a roadtrip across my home country, stuck in mud in the forest and spent a night with wolves & moose. I spend like 16 hours at the border because somebody though it was good idea to leave drugs in our bus. Get in a car accident that I was responsible for. Did a little renovation in my apartment. Get closer with some people and with other just grew apart. Just like normal year.

Annual Report

This year was a total disaster, like hey, everything that could go wrong, had gone wrong! From the beginning of the year life throws shit in my face and expects me to deal with it. Hey, besides common problems like studying, fighting with parents, etc I almost lost all my money, lived as provider for my family cause my mom had to leave the country, crashed into other car, fell in love with the person who even doesn't care about me, was left alone in other country, survived two exam weeks, lost 2 my best friends and this list could go on and on. No wonder I has troubles with my brain and health.....

But

But also something good had happened. I went to LA and Florida, which was my dream, got in touch with my schoolmate and now I feel like she's one of those who I can share everything and who would never hate me. Also went to Tallinn completely alone for 4 days and didn't die, started to drive (though I have driver's licence for like 2 years now) without any fear, went to boiling (and was good at it), went to bunch of concerts and stated the gang - The Hateful Nine with the most amazing people, went to Hong Kong and...that's it. It's not so much, but in the meantime I'm much stronger and braver that I was last year and I found people who would support me no matter what.
