My Normal Is Not Your Normal: My 2020 Mantra

Here’s to 2020!

Happy 2020, everyone! I hope you enjoyed bubbles and fizz and frivolity and all the good things that come with ringing in the new year. I celebrated with someone I love, and we thought together about what we’d like to accomplish this year, both as individuals and as a pair. He shared his thoughts and I shared mine. Our relationship is strong, so I’m not concerned with any of our #relationshipgoals, frankly. Though I am looking forward to what’s ahead.

What I am concerned about is my general well-being, both personally and professionally. I learned a lot about myself and my capabilities in 2019, and I took those to create my 2020 mantra:

I have never been normal and I’ve always wanted to be. That stops this year, as much as I can help it. I’m taking the following as a suite of truths to guide my 2020, some or all of which you may adapt for yourself and your goals.
