A New Year is Just Around The Corner
Oh, dear 2021, I've got so many memories of you, it's as if you were around my life just one day ago. 2021 for me was like a roller-coaster, so much has happened in just one year that it seemed like a whole lifetime. Do you believe it? I worked as an attendant at a telemarketing center for six months, it felt like years though, I massively improved my English, got on a new language, lost and recovered relationships. I also bought a phone with my own money, the first time I do that. I've experienced incredible moments, but also the worst moments of my life this year. I think 2020 was chillin' a little bit more in terms of extreme emotions. I did so much, but I also slacked off with much more frequency than in 2020. So much so that I've decided to start this new year differently, by changing for real what was bothering me, to practically kick the shit outta them. I've started by truly committing to my walking routine on a daily basis, committing more to my English learning, and printing some curriculums. I want so much for this new year, I want to be sure I'm truly happy, get to C1 Level in English, find a part-time job, and so much more. But what I want the most is just to be happy and feel complete with who I am, this is what I want the most. I'm super pumped about this year, as I usually always am, I know big things will happen!
And what about you? How are you feeling towards 2022? How was your experience with 2021?
I love your writing! Your goals sound amazing. I'm wanting to do similar things in this new year. I want to focus on myself more than comparing myself to other people.
Thank you for sharing!
@avakristine Thank you for your support and correcting me as well <3 Well, I'm looking forward to possibly knowing your goals too :)
I also worked in telemarketing for 2020 and 2021 (for a total of 1 year and 1 month) it's hard stuff! I worked in both English and French and it really boosted my confidence in my speaking abilities in French (although I mostly worked in English). I do have to say that the telemarketing work is not for me, I was a very stressed, anxious and overall unhappy person but it helped me pay the bills. 2021 for me was such an incredible year, I moved in with my boyfriend (from Canada to Brazil) and after 5 years of living on my own, I finally have a home! I We had to furnish the entire apartment that we were living in and by the end of 2021, we went from just having a place to sleep and a kitchen to cook in, to having a comfortable apartment where we were proud to have guests over! There's still a lot more to do for 2022, I in particular want to furnish the balcony (sacada, I love this word so much) so that I have a space outside to enjoy the Brazilian weather that I love so much! Professionally, I became an English teacher and 2022 is going to be the year where I start translating! I feel it in my bones! Like you, I feel very optimistic and excited for 2022 and I hope many other people on Journaly are feeling the same way!
Your English is so good!! I made a couple of comments to help the flow and make some of your comments feel a bit more native/natural. I wish you all the best for 2022 and hope you obtain that feeling of happiness which you're after. My goals for 2022 are to improve my level of writing in French (which is far below your level in English!) and to improve my spoken Japanese.
@FocaFofa, I'm so sorry for my delay, I've been kinda busy lately. Your comment was so sweet! Yeah, telemarketing isn't our cup of tea at all, haha. By the way, I also want to start teaching English, could you help me with one question?
@lifesatom Thank you so much for your compliment, so is yours :) And that you can be totally and completely happy. Your French's gonna rock!
