All the Books I Read in 2020Mick2021-01-02 | In 2020, I read 42 books.

Because there was so much good in 2024! I had some rough months (a solid 8 weeks where I couldn't catch a break) but overall I felt so free and happy throughout the year. So many animals, books, hikes, coffees, and friends! I adopted my kitten Suki, did some traveling, started volunteering at a place I love, and had friends and family visit! I can't wait to see what good comes out of 2025!!A Summer Week In My Life: Reading, hiking, and a haircut!Mick2024-07-08 | A summer week in my life: July 1-July 7 🥾📚☕

In 2019, I decided to attempt filming one second every day of my year. At the end of the year, life as I knew it fell apart. I had already built the habit of filming videos, so despite my broken heart, I wanted to keep going. Now, five years have passed and I have a 30+ minute video of so many versions of me. There were many hard times- getting divorced, COVID, struggling with school and work. But there were also so many good days- falling in love with myself, adopting my cat, learning to roller skate, shaving my head, graduating from college, moving abroad for a year and meeting my best friends, traveling, reading, going to concerts, learning to like coffee, dancing, playing, loving. Life is so beautiful and I'm so grateful for this app helping me capture it all 💛
