#but i persevered 💪🏻

I put together Xiao Zhan's face! Thank you @anotherdescentintomadness for giving me the opportunity to have this devilishly difficult fun time with your beautiful art! ❤️

Obviously, 2022 was a shitshow in many regards. Lots of bad stuff happened, particularly in the world in general, and in my personal life, too. Nevertheless!

I’d like to take a minute to acknowledge the good things that happened in my life as well, because while they don’t won’t make the bad things any better, the good things matter, too – they’re just easier to forget 🙃

So because I love making lists, I made a list! And then debated whether or not to post it on here or to just keep it to myself and my loved ones, but eh, what’s the harm in sharing? Most of you won’t be interested in reading about all this of course, but maybe some of you are, and maybe it’ll remind someone else of the good things that happened in their life as well. Who knows.

So, here goes (I’ll start off with some fandom things and put the more personal stuff & some pics under the cut):

Most importantly (lol) (no but really): I finally saw Chris in the flesh this year, at the Lightyear premiere in London, on his birthday. AAAHHH 😭💙🌟

Sebastian was nominated for an Emmy and a Golden Globe this year!!! 🏆

Both our boys had a highly successful 2022 and we got so much amazing content from both of them ✨️

I made some wonderful new fandom friends (you know who you are) who made this year infinitely better, and this fandom gained a ton of incredibly talented authors and artists whose beautiful writing I got to enjoy. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for making my own & many people's lives a little (a lot) better 💘

I wrote a few fics that I’m really proud of this year (even if I’d have liked to have written more) and I'd like to think I’ve grown and improved as a writer compared to last year✍️🏻

I got another Stucky tattoo ❤️

I met up with some very awesome fandom pals in real life, twice! @ohhsodebonair & @puppypeter - I love you to bits 🥰💫

I got to go back to some of my absolute favourite cities in the world in 2022. I went to London (and Oxford) twice this year, and I saw some of my best friends again for the first time since moving back to the Netherlands/since the pandemic, which was absolutely wonderful 🇬🇧

I went back to Italy, for the first time in years and spent a couple of glorious weeks in Florence and Venice in springtime, drinking wine and revisiting all my fave spots from when I used to go there a lot as an art history student 🇮🇹

I went back to New York in the autumn and also got to see beautiful Boston for the first time, and had an amazing vacation there which included a few other first times as well (first time seeing Harvard, first time seeing the Phantom of the Opera on stage, first time visiting Madison Square Garden, first visit to the MoMA and seeing Starry Night etc.) 🇺🇸

I’ve been self-employed for a few years now, and this year was a considerably better one for my business than last year (I put in the hours too, maybe a little too many hours, but it did yield results) 🪙

I spent lots of time with my friends and their little ones and got to see them grow and turn into amazing little people 🥺💖

I got back on track with running and am back to doing weekly 10ks now 🏃🏻‍♀️

I started doing Duolingo again for Italian and it went way better than expected (all that stuff I learned during all those language courses over the years is still there somewhere!) 🦉💚

I figured out some really complicated stuff this year (health stuff and financial stuff) and I’m quite proud of myself for persevering until I had the answers I needed 💪🏻

There were several moments this year, particularly in the last month or so, where I looked back at a situation that had occurred previously and realised how much I had learned from it, and that I handle similar situations differently now. Call that growth, I guess 😌🌱

Alright, that’s the gist of it, I think! If anyone else would like to share their highlights too, I’d love to read about them!! 💗 And here's to 2023: maybe it bring us all more good stuff than bad stuff! 🙏🏻💫

And because I can't help myself, a little collage of some of my favourite pics/moments from this year 🥰

Hannah this is probably gonna sound so stupid to so many people but I’m actually so so proud of myself that I don’t even care.

I managed to get out of bed (first achievement) and do my hair and makeup today. I then went to the shop by myself which I can’t remember the last time I did that. I have crazy anxiety so to be able to go to the shop by myself even if it was only for a few things was honestly just the biggest achievement ever. And then to top it all off I went through McDonald’s drive through which is just a no go for me with my hearing normally like I have to have a hearing person with me but I persevered and did it.

These are all very small things to most people but they’re massive to me and idk I’m just feeling very proud of myself. I mean I absolutely hated going to the shop alone and had a panic attack when I got home so probably won’t be doing it again but I actually did it!

Anyway enough abt me lmao. How are you feeling today? I hope you had a good day!

-🦋

damn that’s so impressive, you kicked ass today!!!! i’m proud of you too!! it’s so scary to do things that trigger anxiety but you did them anyway!!

i am still feeling poorly, i went for a jog (i say jog most of it was walking ngl) this morning though since the weather is so nice and have been taking cold medicine and staying hydrated af to try and combat this cold 💪🏻 i played a bit of stardew valley after that and then sorted out my timetable for the next semester which took way longer than it should have and now i’m really not looking forward to uni starting again next week 🥲 then i just hung out with yasmin for a bit and did some number puzzle things in bed bc yasmin said i should rest since i’m sick but i’m physically incapable of napping 😬 we went for a little evening walk and got donuts as a reward for going for a run this morning and then watched the finale of attack on titan!!

it seems like a lot typed out but i feel like i didn’t do much 😭 i also didn’t write at all today but hopefully tomorrow will be better!!

WELL!… 2022 started out as 🔥as nothing ever before, but by late summer through this winter, the market was pretty challenging, with very little inventory, interest rates up and both buyers and sellers on the fence, so to speak.
