21
By: Natalia Delgadillo Antropóloga We have reached the end of this year 2020 which has been completely different and difficult. At the beginning of the pandemic, our lives were filled with a lot of uncertainty and confusion, because this situation confronted us with a reality that we did not imagine or plan for. We did not know what to expect as this is new. In addition to all these feelings, this situation has caused various jobs, companies, families and other things to dissolve and, sadly, some of us have seen relatives, friends and close friends pass away. Perhaps, many of us wish that this year ends as soon as possible. Amid the frustration that this whole situation leaves us in, the interest in performing those end-of-year rituals is dwindling. Many of us use to participate in New Years celebrations with the purpose of improving various aspects of our lives right now, with everything going on, it may not be in our priorities. 2020 has been a year of infinite changes for everyone in various areas of our life
GOODBYE
2020 on a personal, family, professional and spiritual level. Therefore, the suggestion we have for you to close out this year, is to take a look at your life. Analyze who you were at the beginning of this year and who you are at this moment. Review all the changes you have gone through, all the dreams that have not yet been fulfilled and all the longings that you keep in your soul. We are sure that when you do this self-analysis you will find a totally different person, who, although she may still be full of fears and insecurities, has been brave and has reached the end of the year. Are you ready? Now you know what you want for your life. Find a quiet place, smile, and make a list of 20 New Year's resolutions. It is time to leave behind who you were, let go of the difficulties of this past year and, from this new version of yourself, make all your dreams come true in this new year that begins shortly.
