Goodbye 2021 | Hello 2022

January 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

Hey everyone Happy New Year and welcome to 2022! I have been meaning to write and upload this for a while now but one thing after another happened. This year has certainly started off with a bang I, unfortunately, fell for a scam and lost some money as well as my old Instagram account in the first week of January. I feel really silly but the scam was so convincing that I thought it was real. I luckily managed to get my Instagram account back after a few days but the scammer had also scammed other people through my account. I am obviously sad that I lost some money, however, I was sadder about losing my account as I had built a lovely community of people. Also, the memories from my stories and posts that were on my account meant so much so when I finally got it back I cried because it meant so much to me.

Last year was definitely a challenging year for me as I lost my Godmother to cancer suddenly which was really hard to deal with as a part of my Granddad who passed away when I was in year 10 I hadn’t lost anyone close to me since. My Nan also had ovarian & bowel cancer and had to have numerous sessions of chemo as well as a big operation but thankfully she recovered from it. However, I definitely made sure to make the most of it and did some amazing things over the past 12 months.

Just a few things from last year:
  • I began my journey to finding my birth parents with a 23andMe DNA test in January
  • It unexpectedly snowed in West London one day which was really fun
  • I went on some really cool photo/video shoots with my old work as well as organising two events
  • I ate at a lot of new and nice places
  • I got my eyebrows microbladed for the first time
  • I went on a mini-solo staycation in May
  • I turned 25
  • I made lots of new friends as well as connected with old ones
  • I went to see Hairspray, Frozen, & Mary Poppins in theatre
  • I went to see Love Actually in concert
  • I went to eat at a lot of different places
  • I went on my first holiday abroad since the beginning of 2020 to Dubai
  • I resigned from my job in search of expanding my career
  • I started training for a half marathon

2021 Blog/YouTube Goals:

  • Reach 180,000 views on my blog by 1st January 2022 (I only reached 157,221 views as I am still catching up on blog posts from last year. I managed to write up a lot of them during December but still have a few more to write up) 
  • Reach 160,000 views on my YouTube channel and 5,000 subscribers by 1st January 2022 (I managed to reach 170,501 views and 3,726 subscribers. I really love some of the videos that I created last year) 
  • Blog every day for a week (I didn’t manage to do this but I did blog a lot throughout December)
  • Work more on my SEO (I didn’t get around to this but it’s definitely something I would like to focus on in 2022)
  • Work with a brand (I was very lucky with a few different brands mainly on my old Instagram which has now been hacked so I’m sad about that)
  • Collaborate with other bloggers (I definitely made a lot of new creator friends however, we didn’t collaborate or meet up as there were quite a few restrictions at the beginning of 2021. Throughout 2022, I’d like to meet more creators in person and also online)
  • Collaborate with other YouTubers (The same as above)
  • Meet some creators in real life (The same as above)

2021 Personal Goals:

  • Travel somewhere new (I did go on a little staycation in May to a place that I had never been to before which was so cute)
  • Make sure I am spending money on things I actually use (I would definitely say that I spent less money on things that I don’t use and instead invested in things that I will use for many years)
  • Make new friends (I made a lot of new friends this year both in-person and online which is always nice during a time that you couldn’t really socialise a lot)
  • Reconnect with family & friends when we can (2020 was a year that we couldn’t socialise a lot so I made sure to spend time with family and friends throughout 2021 as
  • Read more books (I did read a lot more than I did in 202o but I still didn’t read as much as I wanted to) 
  • Begin saving for a house/flat deposit (I am still saving but I have a good amount saved) 
  • Sort out all of my photos on my laptop and get some printed to put up in my room (This is something I haven’t managed to achieve yet but I want to continue to work on it throughout 2022)
  • Get back into exercising (I feel really in shape at the moment as I’m currently training for a half marathon)
  • Be more present instead of always online (I would definitely say that I did work on this but that I am still working on it) 
  • Find a good balance between saving and spending (I could have been a lot better at this. It’s something I want to work on more in 2022)
  • Finish off the decor in my bedroom (I am really happy with the way my room looks at the moment. I would just like to put a few more things on the wall and print out some photos as well) 

2022 content goals:

  • Try and upload once a week either on both my blog and my YouTube channel
  • Meet some creators in real life
  • Collaborate with other YouTubers
  • Collaborate with other bloggers
  • Work on my blog’s SEO
  • Focus on my Instagram page more
  • Try and reach 10,000 followers on my Instagram
  • I would like to focus less on the numbers

2022 Personal Goals:

  • Continue working on my anxiety
  • Take myself on more solo dates
  • Try and go away on a solo trip which could either be a staycation or abroad
  • Make more of an effort to see family and friends and take photos more
  • Work on my marketing degree
  • Try not to buy things that I don’t use. Instead, choose to spend money on experiences.
  • Complete the London Landmarks Half Marathon
  • Read 10 books
  • Climb a mountain
  • Work on having a good work, study, and life balance
  • Print out more photos instead of keeping them on my devices
