What I learned in 2020...

 I noticed something this New Years. We're used to people posting how much they achieved throughout the year, but this year was bound to be different. It seemed that people just couldn't help themselves - posting 'this year I learned more about myself/mentally/within than ever before'. Clearly they didn't get the message that just surviving 2020 was a success story. In the year that makes you grow the most, isn't it essential to learn that sharing your 'success' with others is benefitting no one, the best growth happens within and stays out of the tech sphere, out of the handle of companies that are meant to bring us down and feed at our faults. 

So here, for my blog, for only my eyes to see, I post what I learned in 2020 - 

1. You are where you should be, even if it doesn't feel like it (since I feel like I don't want to be here at PUMS, or here in Poland).

2. I'm a cat person.

3. Toxic friendships will end themselves if you do what's right for you (and that will be 100x more time consuming than if you had just stood up for yourself).

4. There actually is so much more misogyny and subtle sexism than I thought. It is okay if people think you am a radical feminist, cuz it's bullshit.

5. Fighting for abortion rights is for me.

6. You have to be your biggest supporter. It may be a while or never before people recognize the work you are putting in.

7. The people who want you will make sure they are fighting for you. 

8. A nice boy does your dishes and doesn't make you feel crazy, but he will have problems that you have to deal with like he deals with yours.

9. You are meant to help, and you are not meant to sit on your ass all day on your laptop, but probably neither is anyone.

10. As always, go back to the beach and the mountains.

Love, Maz
