Another year has come and gone. My 2022 has been a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs. So many things happened – blessings, changed plans and unexpected heartbreak. I ended the year with a broken heart, but I know it gets better. Eventually, it all will, I guess. 

I have learned and grown so much within the last 12 months, and I cannot wait to see what I will be this 2023. I would say that despite the struggles that I faced last year, 2022 has given me a lot to be thankful for. 


#### My Blog

According to my progress summary, I created and published **31 blogs** last year. And looking at how I engage with other bloggers, I made **860 comments** the previous year! 

I wouldn't have written as much if it weren't for the challenges, prompts, and encouragement of everyone who read, upvoted, commented and reblogged my works.

Thanks to all the wonderful friends that I found here. To my lovely **108** followers, thank you so much! 💓 I love seeing you guys in my notifications.


Of course, thanks to the **HivePH Community**! Who would've thought I'd end up being a staff? I am beyond happy I got a chance to connect with this amazing community last year. I only started Hive last July and was floored by how welcoming everyone is. It made me regret not joining Hive sooner!

#### Badges

Looking at my profile, I gained **three** badges last 2022! I became a member of the **HivePH** Community, a **Pizza** holder (thanks, @jude.villarta, for lending me my first ever 20 Pizza to get this badge), and got featured in **Pinmapple**! These badges mean a lot to me 💓

#### Power Up Day and Power Up Month

Since I started blogging here, I never missed the Power Up Day activity, thanks to the monthly PUD event of HivePH! I also participated in the Power Up Month twice! Those two months were challenging but bearable, thanks to my human alarm clock, @arcgspy! I'm looking forward o joining PUM again this year.

Speaking of Power Up Day, **I started this year right by powering up 20 Hive!**

Last year, I set a target of 500 HP. Fortunately, I finished 2022 with **485.942 HP** and **30 Hive**! In my mind, I already added the remaining Hive to make my HP 500, but when I looked at it a while ago, I realized I did not power it up last year. Geez! Nevertheless, I'll take it as *goal achieved*.

I now have **505.942 HP!** Feeling powerful, eh? Well, of course! I want to start this year as powerful as possible!


#### GOALS

I want to spend this year pushing myself to try new things, and with that, I want to grow even more (literally and figuratively - my account included!) I'll go for **1500 HP** before this year ends! Wish me luck!

**Here's to another year of finding happiness in the little things, like adding a little power to our accounts! May 2023 be filled with an abundance of everything we seek ✨**
