January - May I worked a lot. I felt like I could finally sustain myself with private lessons earning 400 - 900+ euros per month. It is a lot for a single person living as his own boss, having private company here in Latvia. I worked 5-7 days a week, taught 3-4 subjects at once. Paid all taxes. And still earned that much. I dream of living from art, but pedagogy is good as well.
June I started working as a nanny for a 5 year old boy. It was not easy and pleasant, he had huge behavior issues, but we somehow managed to make it work for 5 months.
August I attended a camp with not so close friends. It was a rather harsh environment, waking up at 8 am, living together with older men, my gazebo where I lived for 9 days straight.
I realized how different I am from average person there. So creative, I drew several pictures, wrote a poem in Japanese, wrote a story as well I think. So lonely, not having a close friend to talk to for 9 days.
I kinda sworn to myself that I won't go to such a place alone ever again. When I find a gf, I might go there together with her.
September refurbishments/innovations for my kitchen started and they took 1.5 month to complete. The repair master worked for a long time and did it very scrupulously. End result is worth it 1000%.
Sometime in autumn I picked up throwing darts seriously again. Also table tennis. I started my own Creative school together with a friend of mine in September. We have had origami, Plasticine, water-painting, music improvisation, embroidery, graffiti masterclasses so far. We will have makrame knotting next Monday.
I started teaching chess in late November to 4 - 7 year old kids.
I am trying to date. I joined Tinder in early February and found one woman. It didn't turn out well. Now I have a date scheduled for 10th December, this Sunday.
It has been a year of change. I have changed a lot, my flat got renovated, my identity is changing, I took male hormones this year.
I wish for a creative next year. It is easy to say I want to find a soulmate, but it is true. At age of 36, I am less naive, less fancy, more practical. I am trying to be more handy.
