2020 - End of Year reflection

It's a bit of a cliché at this point, I'm sure, to reflect on the hardships of 2020. So, I will strictly be sticking to the positives on this post! I had a lot of successes in 2020, and I'm incredibly grateful to be able to say that. 

If you didn't see my Year In Review from last year, I included a few goals for 2020. Here's a recap:

GOALS FOR 2020
- Find a job or freelance projects in animation or toy design
- Read at least 8 books
- Storyboard a scene from Alienated
- Play piano as much as possible!
- Keep building my portfolio
- Travel!!! Lots of weddings coming up! 

Now, here are the highlights from this year (you may notice, I did accomplish a few of the goals from above!!!!) 

HIGHLIGHTS
- Was hired as a freelance designer for Joyin in June. 
- Promoted to full time designer for in November. 
- Read 9 books! 
- Made an instagram account for Avery (@alienated_avery) 
- Started playing piano again
- Continued living with my parents and living at home. 
​
I think the theme of this year for me was definitely Rediscovery. After feeling some of my all time lows earlier this year, I finally feel like I'm myself again. I am able to partake in the hobbies that used to make me so happy. I have fallen in love with art again. I am home, I'm happy, I'm safe. And most importantly - I am healthy. 

Here are my goals for next year:
GOALS FOR 2021
- Read 12 books
- Regularly create content for Avery's instagram account. 
- Build my character design portfolio
- Focus on my health again
- Learn to drive?? Maybe????
- Move out?????? Relocate??! Maybe?? 
- Work hard and have fun! 

Now, for one of the most fun parts of these year end reviews - ALL THE THROWBACKS!
