I learned that even small joys exist and deserve to be counted, even in the midst of a crisis or many crises.
I learned to hold my identity and my own opinions and beliefs without "editing" myself.
I learned that said identity comes from within myself, not from the outside. I can't find it by searching around or even in anyone else. Therefore, no one can take it from me.
I learned you can't fall in love if I don't love myself first.
It was a year of almost unending crises, but this made me see the positives in such a bad year (or two).
