This might be a bit late but I was honestly whisked back and forth between my own house and my relatives house this entire January 1st. I'm not so accustomed to writing on a phone because my own typos irritate me XD.
Anyways, onto the main topic. 2020 was definitely one hell of a buzzkill for me. I was supposed to finish my thesis properly, graduate and get my license but the year had other plans. By march 15, 2020 the quarantine began. From what we hoped would last only a month turned into half a year of quarantine and honestly, in the months of March to May, I was in and out of anxiety attacks that I was that close to an attempt again. I was pretty desperate to find a way to pay my tuition, do the experimental part of my thesis in the kitchen, study for the mock boards through online lectures, pass my grad requirements, and explain to my mom how I blew up the microwave ;;-;;
On June, 2nd week, I think. I found this site and in all honesty, I couldn't be more thankful for being such a weab and a bored potato. I found a place to voice out my thoughts, meet interesting people, learn culture, food and beliefs and actually expand what I already knew about crypto and a few things about trading that I may have forgotten already. Aside from that, it really helped a lot. I managed to save a bit from here. By September, I was helping pay the bills with my earnings here, also I could take care of the dog's needs so that it wouldn't eat up that much of the house's budget.
Now that I'm working, I can save up again and now I actually have funds to hodl and maybe soon I can expand my crypto profile but for now I'm still learning the charts. Lucky my chemistry background showed data in nothing but charts so chart reading really is coming in handy here and most of my trend predictions come close at least.
This 2021, I started off hodling 10$ in my bitcoin.com wallet. So the goal (I rarely set goals for myself so this is really big for me tbh) for this year is to at least save 100$ in crypto every month. As of now it's at 15$ because I'm that bored and I can keep an eye on the charts for the mean time.
It's honestly so exciting to be able to watch it grow like this. Hopefully this 2021 would be good to me and to all of us. I hope there's no more cancellation of major exams because the struggle to find a proper paying job for unlicensed chemists is just too much. Here in my country, experience doesn't matter. All that matters is you have the license and that you come from a branded school. The boomers that are still at the head of the management are making things harder for us.
Aaaanyways- before I go into rant mode again from my job, I should stop here. I want to greet 2021 with good vibes and a healthy kind of motivation. May 2021 provide us with more opportunities! the year of the metal Ox is upon us, the year for breaking away and for new beginnings as my partly Chinese grandmother told us as the new year came.
Happy new year dear! So sorry I have not been around but I have not forgotten your frog! I managed to work on the head and eyes :) Very slow but it will come! How are you doing dear friend? I hope the job is treating you better? I wish you all the success, health, happiness and wealth in 2021 <3
