2019–2020 recap, thoughts, and ideas

Merry Christmas / häid jõule to all my friends.

I am here in the middle of the forest in a place called nelijärve ( means 4 lakes in Estonian ) on Christmas eve night writing this article.

2019 was an amazing year in my life and so was 2018. I’ve been lucky ( or hardworking ) so far that every year in my life is a lot better than the previous one.

Too many good things happened in 2019. I visited 10 new countries and moved to live in 1 country.

I discovered my ability to do anything I want and everything I want.
Simply put I’ve done almost everything I wanted to do. it was a hard year though it was the year where I started to grow from a computer geek who is so comfortable having his mom do everything to this new person who is taking care of himself, living alone, traveling almost once a month and going to the gym everyday while working and studying ( and passing almost all subjects from first time).

Too many lessons learned

1. People hide what they are feeling or what they are wanting so bad so I have to be very careful reading people and what they are really wanting.
2. Some people want help or feel lonely but they reject the help or make it hard to help them.
   Lots of people want some help I can sense it sometimes however those same people will always make it hard to help them or give them the feeling that they are not lonely. I am not sure what to do in such cases but as someone told me before help yourself first which what I am always doing but if I see someone needing help I’ll try to help.
3. I can do everything I want. I control almost every aspect of my life.
   I can have anything I want if I worked hard enough to get it.
4. Be grateful always for everything.
   I am always grateful for everything I have this is what fuels my daily happiness knowing that I am awesome and I have lots of things to be grateful for even on my bad day.

The list goes on and on but this is enough.

It was really hard to move to a new country especially to Estonia because I didn’t know anyone but now I can say I am settled down. I have friends, know the streets and where to go if I want something and am trying to speak the language ( really hard ). Estonia is my favorite country and I Don’t see myself moving anywhere else in the next 5 years or so unless something significant happened.

Not sure what else to say so I am just gonna leave some pictures of some good moments taken in 2019.
