It had ups and downs. I picked up a lot of social and reasoning skills, I definitely feel more intelligent than I was last year. I met some cool people. Got a better grip of what I'm doing. I still drink more than I should, but I'm not constantly wiped out like how I used to be. And I'm definitely more productive, especially as of late.
There were some downs as well, like a lot of stress with things going on in my life and around me. My hypochondria got really bad at one point, and I basically shut down for a few months. But I am feeling better now. I still have stress about some shit, but that's life. I don't ruminate too much on it.
Overall, 2020 has been a good year for me.
This has been a very material year for me as the knowledge I've gained over the past 10 months has mostly been related to finance and economics. This has led to the most successful financial year of my life and it seems like this will continue for many years to come. As such I am now able to focus on my own ideas in a sustainable manner.
My liver failed this year, hence I had to get a transplant. This was a fantastic experience because it one acted as ritualistic demarcation of the death of my old self and since then i have gained confidence and have become increasingly productive with a passion to match. Also, I was in coma and they pumped me full of drugs so i got to trip balls for 10 days which was enlightening.
My relationship with my parents have improved substantially. Since my success in the finance began they have been nagging less on what I'm doing and whether or not I'm crazy and instead merely ask questions pertaining to how much money I've made them. Regardless there is more trust and they (my dad specifically) seem more optimistic about the future.
One of the best years of my life for sure.
Life is getting stranger but also less miserable each year.
This year I lost big on money but gained in happiness, feels like I traded money for happiness. I nearly became homeless in the March 12 Bitcoin markets crash and made losses over 6k. Had unstable employment and alot of stress dealing with idiot hirers. It was not a good year for money.
On the flip side I participated in the Hong Kong riots, Seoul new year celebrations, enjoyed that magical city, met a few women and finally the love of my life who I am planning to marry soon, I also reunited with my old passion of operating system development. Learned more cantonese and trading, made some succesful trades.
I lost my sister by being cut off by her after she ran off with the money from her boyfriends parents home. Confused and sad about it.
I spent months biking and cuddling my gf watching netflix and retarded soap operas. I think of suicide much less now.
Each year becomes more schizophrenic making me doubt my sanity as its hard to believe the world is so strange.

What do you find strange about it?
This year felt a lot like limbo. A lot of waiting. The worst part was certainly having to wait while Alice was in the hospital and not legally being able to call and check on her bc we are not blood related/ not married.
Corona and the BLM riots have paled in comparison to that and just been mundane news. I feel like I'm still waiting, but I used a lot of my time to try some new things and change my idea of how I want to live my life. Now I am just waiting to actualize these ideas.
I wouldnt call this a good year but I wouldnt call 2017 a good year either, and that was a necessary part of myself growing into the person I am today. I think 2020 is a similar situation.

What do you find strange about it?
Extremely strange behavior from people around me and also the world going insane. My old client came out of hiding telling me he's in Guatemala after his Bitcoin investor friends backstabbed him and my sister doing what she did. People who have not been good to me in the past suddenly being nice and those closest to me cucking on me.
