Thanks 2020 for you have taught me:

1. That if I want to work with like minded fellow artists I need to create my own tribe, that’s how Improtribe arose and I am beyond grateful for it; 
2. That we have no control whatsoever (as I thought  we did!) so we might as well enjoy this crazy beautiful ride called Life;
3. How to let go, forgive, move on, and stop having such insane expectations;
4. How to be on my own and rejoice from within;
5. How to focus more on quality rather than on quantity in all aspects of life;
6. How to make work from home enjoyable and productive;
7. How to keep my passions alive even online and during lockdown;
8. How to continue doing sports even in my own living-room overcoming the limiting “I’m not in the mood” mindset;
9. How to savor the communion with nature;
10. How to spend more offline time and make the most of it;
11. How to despair in silence whilst picking myself up and starting anew each day;
12. How to cook! I had no idea how therapeutic it can be to prepare your own meals and that I’m so good at it;
13. That there is no time for being modest:))
14. How to stay connected even during social distancing;
15. How to spend time on my own without the pressure that I should do something or be somewhere;
16. How to spare some money for the rainy days even when carpe diem-ing;
17. That FOMO is illusory and all that matters is right here and right now;
18. To rediscover my own country and stop fantasizing about far away lands out of reach by reinventing self confinements;
19. That those who genuinely care for you will always be there despite any pandemic;
20. That those feeble spirited will always blame it on the pandemic;
21. That meditation and mindfulness are a must nowadays if you want to remain sane;

It definitely has taught all of us a lot but if I were to sum up just one thing is that: we actually need so little to get by, and that’s such a relief, as we’re caught up in way to many superfluous happenings!

I wouldn’t have made it so far without you, hence much appreciated, however I’m freaking exhausted, so I am hereby bidding you farewell!...

Yours still joyfully,

Mirela

P.S 2021 please be gentle!🙏🙏🙏
