2020. What a year!

Yun Qi Wong

there´s no doubt about it: 2020 has been an extraordinary year for the entire world.

I have been exceptionally quiet here this year - not just on this space but also on social media platforms and most unfortunately, in the many wonderfully creative, important campaigns and projects my fellow musicians and artistes have been churning out during this pandemic. However, 2020 has been not just extraordinary, but rather extra, extra-extraordinary for me and so I hope you forgive me ;-)

You see, about two months ago, my husband and I welcomed an addition into our lives and overnight, we became parents and bid goodbye to sleep, and life as we knew it. As I type this, my baby son sleeps a welcome deep sleep, snuggled against me. The warmth of his body warming my heart, the calming, intoxicating scent of a newborn coupled with his tiny breaths and fascinating, hilarious repertoire of noises.

So this is what my 2020 has been filled with - the expectation and preparation of this tiny bundle of joy, complete with the bad and good, the excruciating pregnancy nausea, the precious gift of time and time-out we never asked for, an (almost) entire year of cancelled concerts and projects, the outpouring of so much love and care from the community around us including my cheerleading team of neighbours, learning to let go of my worries, fears and OCD, as well as getting to know myself and my husband anew. In the midst of all the chaos and ugliness that is filling our world right now, this has been a ray of hope and light in our lives.

I don´t know how the year ahead will shape up to be with the uncertainty of the pandemic and life in general as first time parents. Will I manage to juggle both raising a child and carrying out the few work projects I´ve planned? How will I be as a mother? How will I be as a musician and creative from now onwards? So many questions. One thing is for sure: things are going to be different and it is exciting, a little nerve-wracking, filled with question marks, and definitely magical.

How has your 2020 been? Do share!

Meanwhile, here´s hoping we can all find little pockets of joy everyday, and something to be grateful for in these last few weeks of an extraordinary year. I look forward to meeting you very soon again at concerts! Do stay tuned for updates.
