2021 was a good year, I think. Went through a lot of painful but rewarding personal growth, tried new things, met new people and stepped outside my comfort zone. . I celebrated my 23rd with my amazing friends and had so much food, I literally couldn’t stomach it. . I also graduated from the Science and Business program at the University of Waterloo on the Deans Honors List and with a Biotechnology specialization (BSc in the bag!). . I got hired to work in a position that I have quite enjoyed over the past 10 months. This has taught me so much about what stress I’m willing and not willing to take on in my professional life (which is very key for good work life balance). Can’t wait to see what’s next on that front. . I also had the opportunity to participate in the Holiday Ad for Shoppers Beauty this year which was pretty damn amazing. . This year, I lost two people that I loved very dearly and this forced me to re-asses how I view my life and my impact on others. . I also received an alarming number of scam calls🥲, tried a new type of noodle in the absence of my OG Indomie😫 and recorded my first single 😛🙈. . Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope 2022 ends up being even better for you all!✨

No one else, Love, will sleep in my dreams. You will go, We will go together, Over the waters of time. No one else will travel Through shadows with me, Only you, Evergreen Ever sun Ever moon. -Pablo Neruda✨ Taken from “Sonnet LXXXI”, 1959

What to do what to do? Super quick & rough illustrations of Bibi hanging onto my clothes and accessories. I haven’t drawn in a while and can’t wait to properly get back to it✨.

Regrets are better than what-ifs. For me, a scary challenge this year was taking Bibi from the confines of my mind to the world. I did it anyways because the way I see it, I could keep wishing I did it or just do it. It’s been really hard to be consistent with everything going on but I’ll keep going because I know what she means to me. Hopefully you find the courage to do something you’ve always wanted to do. Don’t be afraid to start small. Bibi has undergone iterations in terms of her look and the general story line I’m trying to create and that’s fine because I’m not perfect and I don’t know everything. Same goes for you. So start, make your mistakes, learn and be proud of yourself because you are better than you were yesterday. Keep shining stars✨👾 . First picture is a throwback to my time in Montreal around when Bibi became a conscious thought in my mind . Second picture taken from @nnekaj . Third is my first post of @bibithebot . Last post is one of the more recent ones✨

Someone said this to me this morning; “Adulting is actually not too bad. We as human beings just set unrealistic expectations with our current skill set and resources” (heavy paraphrasing btw) . What this is saying is sometimes you may not currently have what you need to achieve an end goal. Instead, break that goal into parts and focus on the most time sensitive one. There will be challenges but if it seems extra difficult to achieve that mini goal, it might help if you broke it down even further. It’s assumed that by the time you achieve that goal, you’ll be equipped with appropriate resources to tackle the next one until you get to a point where a dream that was just a dream can morph into something very doable. It may seem like common sense but not really. I know I’m guilty of this. If you’re similar in that respect, I hope this helps👾. Keep shining stars✨
