2019 has been a truly wild ride.
I made some major personal and professional achievements this year
And to see everything I’ve done summed up in the stats of this post is equal parts surreal and comforting. I am very proud of everything I’ve achieved.
Here’s a run down on the best bits.
this year I….
Watched 158 films
Saw 38 seasons of 20 television shows
Read 19 books
Saw 10 theatre shows
Attended 1 film festival
Saw 5 comedy shows and 1 comedy festival
And went to 2 concerts, 1 convention and 1 Secret Cinema
I published 153 blog posts, and doubled the views on this blog from 2018.
I uploaded 11 videos which gave me 2157 views.
I got headshots taken, completed my showreel, and added 2 official credits to my IMDb page.
I acted in 3 short films, 1 voiceover role and 1 feature film
My debut short film Quadratura was accepted into 3 festivals (and counting) and won 1, which saw me spend the day at Pinewood Studios.
I moved to London.
I made such progress with my health that I no longer live with daily chronic pain.
I continued to work on my mental health by having weekly therapy
And most importantly, above everything else:
I met 3 more actors from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This year has been monumental.
I really have to try to remind myself to be grateful and proud for all I have done – and more than anything, I beg of you to do the same.
I’ll see you all in 2020 folks. Happy new year.
