It's finally done (and on time too!) - My Yearmix for 2020!
92 Tracks - 3 Hours total - A whole year of music in one video.

This has become an annual tradition for me, take all of my best and worst music from the year and throw it all into one video - and then use it as my channel trailer. Plus for whatever reason I always end up scrounging on the last day of the year to put together the video.

I first got the idea form Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance way back in the early 2010s. I remember eagerly staying up on New Years Eve waiting for Armin to drop his yearly mix. My bro would call me down to his room, we'd turn on the TV and just celebrate the New Year with Trance!
I personally loved these mixes because they were so well edited. The way each track blends into the next - you could almost anticipate the next one if you were familiar with the genre.

However somewhere along the way I stopped listening to ASOT. I guess it's because people change and move on with their lives. We never really stay the same as much as we like to think.

For the longest time, I always felt pretty useless in my life. I never really had any aspirations or motivation to pursue things. Just drifting through life aimlessly. I would see countless people my age passing by me in their lives. They would go on to achieve these "milestones" yet I would always feel like nothing really changed about me. One of the worst things I did to myself was to constantly compare myself to those around me. I would always feel so inadequate and belittled.

I think right around 2014 I started to take myself a little bit more seriously. I started focusing more and more on what I really wanted to do. I got a good job in engineering, I was actively learning more about my field and I was grinding it out like everyone else. I was achieving those  "Milestones". But deep down I knew that I didn't like what I was doing. Yet I always had the idea in my head that Engineering = A job = Stability = Happiness. Let me be the first to tell you, from my own personal experience that's just not true. I don't think happiness is just something that you one day and take it easy. I believe it's something you have to actively work towards everyday. To make everyday a good day and to cast aside those self doubts. That is true happiness, to be content with oneself and to always strive to improve upon yourself. Not just in your hobbies and studies, but in your day to day life as well. To always put your best foot forward and charge headfirst into those goals. To not let things hold you back.

This year sucked ass, I don't have to tell you that. But it taught me a lot about myself. I realized that within the last 6 years or so, I have made a significant improvement in my capabilities and own self confidence. I no longer feel belittled or inadequate about my life. I see my life as just a story for me to tell, to share my experiences with others and to help them through their own difficulties. Whether it's commenting on a random video, or rapping (talking not actual rapping 😂) with my cousins / brother - I try to really appreciate the people I have left in my life. Not everyone stays, but those that do deserve your full attention and support.

Looking back at all these videos during this year made me realize that I really can learn new things so long as I am willing to dedicate the time into practicing and understanding them. I no longer see things as "Not for me". Fuck that, everything is for me, Give me a week and I'll learn it! I've learned to make better music, make 3D models (and animate them poorly!), edit videos and even some cooking and cleaning! All it takes is the right mentality, the right mindset.

When I look at this Yearmix, I'm reminded of how much progress I've made since 2014. Life was very different for me back then, it was a very different time. But here I am 6 years later - working hard (almost) everyday, working towards a better future, working towards a life of fulfillment and not regret. I can't change what happened in my past. I mean I would love to, but that's not how life works. Instead I choose to cherish what I have, and to not focus too much on what I don't have. I say fuck those "milestones", be happy with what you have and who you are! Don't let anything hold you back, because you're so much more capable than you think you are.

Happy New Year everyone, let's go into 2021 with the right mentality. Let's go into this new year like a SUPER-POWERED-ACTION-FIGHTING-MIGHTY-MORPHIN-ROBOT-SPACE-MAN-WHO-CHARGES-INTO-DANGER-HEADFIRST-BECAUSE-HE-HAS-NO-PLAN! 💎
