2019 was my spiritually richest year yet, abundant of authenticity, people, and love. When I thought of my highlights of the year, I noticed a different pattern in what I considered important and meaningful. Usually, my yearly highlights appeared in the form of accomplishments, new skills or new experiences.
This time, however, my highlights are a lot more inwards, personal and human:
Came out as bisexual in front of 200 colleagues, the world and my parents
Broke my heart open and learned the value of love at Burning Man
Found and built my solid support system
Cooked for 40 people and raised S$11K for Charity water for my birthday
Funded a trip to Japan for my mom (and learned Japanese in between)
Made an unplanned trip to South America twice (and learned Spanish in between)
If I were to give 2019 a theme, it will be untethered. My soul is set free, to connect deeply with my truest self and by doing so, deeply with others and the world.
