Judging by my playlist, I am not tied to just one genre or mood anymore. I started keeping a playlist of the songs that aren't on Spotify, too. Also found Billie Eilish who is godlike.

Life

I have trouble describing what happened this year because it was one of the most sad and momentous years in my admittedly short life.

The artwork is very contrasty because of this: it has things I like (my handwriting, the yellow color, a very artsy picture of me) and some traumatic elements (learning so much it hurts, the crying, the loneliness and fear represented with the dark background, those dates).

The top is my future, the bottom is my past. Might I go to the stars someday?

The Spotify logo has horns atop it because their UI and Android team are fucking morons. I get so angry just thinking about it. I wish there was a better competitor I could throw my money at.

The three Nike logos look like Todoist's logo. Yeah, let's just chalk it up as "the weird parts of 2019."

So here are the top 10 things that happened this year.

Good

1. I like the way I look and am.
2. I feel good enough and I know my worth. I am a lot more productive as well. Top of my class.
3. I have a greater understanding of my emotions and myself.
4. I feel much more independent.
5. My quality of life is a lot better. For the first time in my life, I now own (good) headphones.

Bad

1. My anxiety has worsened.
2. A lot of my relationships have been ruined, are being ruined, or are in a standstill. This is due to distance.
3. I don't feel creatively fulfilled in the areas I wish to get better at.
4. In the second half of this year, I only focused on school,. Simply, I was a robot.
5. I lost a lot. So I cried a lot more.
