My Real Opinion of 2020
I don’t think 2020 turned out how any of us expected it to be. For me personally, I had so many high hopes for this year. I wanted to launch a business I had been planning for about 2 years now, I wanted to go back to school and obtain a certificate in Human Resources among many other goals.
That all came to an abrupt halt March 2020, when COVID-19 invaded the east coast. I think the craziest part is that none of us expected life to be like this and for this long at that. Our entire life perspective as changed what was once “crazy” or weird is not our social norms. Being in an enclosed area with tons of people freaks me out now. Sometime in April or May, I can’t really remember I stopped day dreaming about my future life. It was very sad for me because I am constantly thinking about what’s next and my dream home etc. I felt like I was in quick sand, I dubbed this feeling Corona Days. A Corona Day is when you are engulfed with so much overwhelming emotion that you cannot articulate and there was no real rhyme or reason for you to react this way. You could also have a Corona Evening it’s the same feeling but it happens at night. I recently went my longest stretch of not having a Corona Day but I recently had one last Saturday (no fun).
In June, right before my birthday I said “screw this” meaning this jacked up 2020 Mindset. I whipped out my planner and decided to take back control of the year or what’s left for that matter. I’ve decided to hold off on my dream business (if you know you know) until 2021 when it’s hopefully safe to do so, and put my all into my day job, wedding job (we’re going on hiatus) and Niajah.com! Around September everything should be ready for me to present to you all. Thankfully all three mentioned can be safely done from the comforts of my home. I am extremely blessed and I don’t take a second for granted.
2020 and Covid did so much damage and taken so many lives (rest in peace to Victoria’s daddy and Deshawn friends) let us take a moment that we are still alive and granted another chance at this thing called life. We can’t stop now, we have to keep pushing forward. I’m hoping for the best for everyone reading this.
