how has this year challenged or changed you?:
I've had to get out of my comfort zone with a lot of activities I would otherwise avoid due to not wanting to deal with the struggle of doing them, such as driving myself to places I haven't been before.

how has this year challenged or changed you?: Senior year was a nightmare but I still got my degree! Unfortunately it took a lot out of me. I don't have the energy to maintain most friendships anymore but it's still hard dealing with the loneliness. I'm also struggling a lot with job applications and getting out of bed in general. It's been great! I guess it's just hard to want success for someone you think really doesn't deserve it. How do you get better when you've never really felt you've been good?

how has this year challenged or changed you?: This year started incredibly, incredibly poorly. I lost loved ones, I lost my roommate to a petty fight. But I also gained, and grew, and learned. I moved in with my boyfriend, bought my own car, started drawing again finally! I’ve started to feel a little bit more myself lately, something I’ve been missing since 2016. It’s been a rollercoaster that’s for sure, but where there are downs there will always be ups.

how has this year challenged or changed you?: It's been challenging to recognize mistakes and how to fix them, but this year I've been capable of changing at least a little for the better with the help of the people I love and care about. Without them, I'm not entirely sure where I'd be

I've overcome my fair share of challenges this year, the biggest of which must've been self-discovery <3 figuring out what makes me happy and establishing that! I've moved on from quite a few harmful people this year and learned to live for myself<3

how has this year challenged or changed you?: this year, I lost a two loved ones and moved to a new school. it's been hard, but I've been pulling through. i've actually made a few new friends, and i've been starting to find more enjoyment in doing things that I love, so overall I would say this year has been a good one.

I’ve learned how to push my limits and succeed in ways I haven’t before, and I was challenged to persevere through difficult situations, and I’m stronger because of it.
