2020, The Year The World Adapted

Now it is July 2021 as I write this and I am so behind. 2020 what a crazy year! It had its ups and downs, but set me up for the lsat 6 months which have been intensely busy. Which is great as it has been a rollercoaster, but juggling it with personal life has been difficult when a virus disrupts family life. But I am back and will have a catch up here of all the things that have been going on. The learning, the growing, the new friendships and the changes that I never expected to happen.

With 2020 starting the way it did, with a trip with my parents to NYC, going to LA for my first Gallifrey One Convention where I met Christopher Eccleston to then a trip to London to see musicals and friends. Not knowing that this would be my last trip to London until May 2021. Going into a lockdown we thought would be 2 weeks but we have since had 3 lockdowns. Losing a ton of work and then slowly getting small jobs here are there. But I thought I would be changing career in 2020, but things have changed and moved in different directions, but I’ve not given up this pathway into the arts. I am just trying new things. It has been tough, so many friends we have all found this year tough but the best thing that has pulled us through is the friendship and connection we all share together to bring the arts back to its feet.

So we are more than half way into 2021, as I sit here writing this, we still have no theatres open in Scotland and the ones open in England are opened to really small audiences with masks on. It really is a different time, but with things moving slowly, the arts will come back stronger than ever! Even if our leaders don’t support us as much as they do football.
