Beautiful flowers, cute cacti. How was my year last year.

Beautiful flowers, cute cacti. How was my year last year. My year has been eventful. It was a lot of stress, but also a lot of really cool events)
But in any case, in the bottom line, I can say that it was successful! I have grown a lot this year - I learned not to be so afraid of change, I realized that sometimes for the sake of the future you need to sacrifice comfort and emotional attachments. I learned to believe in myself and to accept and respect my work, no matter what anyone says. Well, now for the points:
(I will write the first and second points today, the rest later.)

I think this is the most important thing - I went full freelance as an illustrator. I have been going to this for a long time - the last 10 years, although probably 15, taking into account my studies at the university on the thin graph)
And my family, oddly enough, persuaded me to do this for a long time - especially my mother) And moreover, fate itself literally let me down to this. And I resisted everything - well, right, it's scary, after all.
Although I managed to work in the newspaper for only half a year. I learned a lot there and realized that my brains are not made of stone and I am still able to learn) I am glad for new skills, because they will also be useful to me in illustration) And I met good people there .. despite my harmful character (by the way, thanks to my harmful character, he helps me out when people try to sit on my neck - I learn from David) I found a common language with almost the entire team and made friends) All the same, I have been working in the media for the last 10 years and I am even a member of the Union of Journalists)
