What remains of 2021

After 2020 to forget, all of us expected a 2021 To remember. A 2021 meaning rebirth, hope and reconstruction. The historical period we are experiencing does not allow us to see everything pink. Nevertheless, I have never stopped looking for light in darkness, the drop of positivity in an ocean of negativity. And here, 2021, beyond all that, turned out to be just what I expected: a year to start from scratch.

There are many things left of my 2020: gratitude, sharing and above all ability to live in Here and now. But then, that What will remain of 2021?

It will remain the rule that "every left is lost"

Incredible but true, 2021 was a year full of travel. It was a long time since I traveled so freely, intensely and above all consciously.

Prudence and respect for the rules have never failed. But every weekend abroad, every trip out of town I lived as if it were the last one, perhaps thanks to the constant sense of uncertainty that characterized the last two years. Every time I said to myself "I do it now, which tomorrow may be too late." And so it was for everything else: new meetings, new loves, friendships, discoveries and solo trips. At a tragic time for travellers, I have travelled to as many as 10 different countries, some of which have never been seen before. I have kept my promise not to miss any chance to travel, experience new things and get over my comfort zones and it was the greatest gift I could give myself and to those who stand by me.

Will remain the study, growth and discovery

If 2020 was an introspective year, the following was even more so. The months of closure, stalemate and uncertainty were long and in some ways endless. But they let me learn, study, focus on myself and what I really want. Isolation creates loneliness, but at the same time He teaches many things.

A beautiful memory that will remain of 2021 will be the multitude of things learned at professional and personal level: intense work, new challenges, travel made and planned and more than anything else, this blog and its community who never ceases to surprise me and make me grow.

A lot of people said "we'll get out better," but I didn't always want to believe it. Now I tell myself that it is true, or at least it was for many of us.

Will remain the basis for rebuilding and solid bricks to continue

In 2020 I learned from my mistakes, reassessed my present and thought less about the past. In 2021 I started from these bases to rebuild my future, but without letting myself be overwhelmed by it.

Although with some initial difficulties, what remains of 2021 are solid foundations, which have made me the person that I am now and that I want to be. If 2020 left ashes, 2021 made it a fertile ground to rebuild. The new year, for better or worse, will provide more and more bricks to build something new and surprising on solid foundations. It doesn't matter when the work is done, because life, we know, is a work in progress endless.

What can I say to you, I just have to wish you a happy New Year in my own way, Have a good trip in 2022!
