2022 was a year of recovery. Due to many reasons back in 2021 and early 2022, the emotional damage threw me into despair and made me lost the ability to draw out energy internally and from those around me. Really had no energy to be there for anyone else and was constantly in the "energy saving mode".

I did share the problems and reached out for support. Was very mindful not to fall into the spiral of viewing myself as the victim and felt entitled to expect every one around to help me. While there were some who used the opportunity to push me down, I was really grateful to those who understood and assisted me along the way.

Because of this issue, for the longest time I did not have the energy to make connection with anyone new. Just when I thought I could slowly recover via my first overseas trip in years during July, the drug incident reset my whole recovery process.

Things finally felt better after the Korea trip, when everyone tried their best to be positive (especially those that being nice is not their innate nature). This therapy was coupled by a good fun/scare over Halloween with friends, and was able to pump up the adrenaline to restart the spark within.

The spark indeed was able to last me throughout the end of 2022.
May this spark continue to self-sustain and generate more positive energy, fueled by the hope within my heart.
