A trainwreck up until the very end. I promised myself I'd get out of the shitty industry I've been working in for 8 years, and find a job that I really enjoyed. And that was a tough thing to do. I bounced around jobs, racked up a bunch of debt, and struggled to get by. But in the end, I made it. I'm in a job that I truly love.

But what really made my year was my friends. They're back in town for the holidays, so I purchased some Amaretto to share with them tonight. Regardless of my home or work situation, my friends kept me going strong, and they were there for me every step of the way.

So cheers to friends and fulfillment of self-promises. Cheers to determination against all adversaries. Cheers to 2025, I've got a good feeling about this one.

Mixed. I'm doing well in my work and people praise me so its going okay. I'm also more social now and have escaped my hikineet ways. I spent 2024 studying classical Arabic, only to forget most of it within a few months. I also missed some major life opportunities due to sheer laziness and avoidance and really fucked up quite badly.

2024 could be defined as a confusing waste of time for me, It felt like a state of limbo
Only a few "things" happened, some which people might consider big events in a life but they all lead nowhere really, It just feels like wasted time, money and effort, as I'm exactly back where I started with barely anything going for me. But on the 'positive' side of things I was forced into reflecting upon my life through a few of metal breakdowns and gained some insight about what I want from it, for better or for worse.
I also found some of my favorite pieces of media this year, and I'm very happy That I got to experience them. How about you Op?

Best year in my life.
Got a job, finally financially independent.

Never thought I'd be working in the place I am right now. Or earning as much.
This is the best I have ever been.

May next year be even better, I know it will be.

Happy new year!!!

Not great. Got laid off from my job I didn't care about and was a NEET for a while before finding another job I don't care about. Fell out of touch with my one irl friend and failed to make any new friends.

2024 is a year I’ll remember for a long time, largely because I documented so much of it. It was defined by my struggles with body dysmorphia and isolation, but I feel like I made steady progress. With my social life on pause, I immersed myself in visual novels, anime, and books. I also made significant commitment to my hobbies and briefly explored other paths, which ultimately strengthened my confidence in pursuing my lifelong passion for music. Also, made many internet friends. I don't have any hopes for 2025, but a therapy would be nice.

It's not easy to define since my year was a complete turmoil of happenings. Got a job, got into my passion, did well in the college and had made some good friendships.

Yeah, it was satisfying. But, it felt incomplete for some reason. I feel like I've wasted too much worth time even realizing so many things about me as the time passed out. It was a new beggining after all the failures I got.

I'm hopeful. Things may change.

It was uneventful, i only got older. I won't remember it, same as last year.

Then let's try to make some memories for this year!

Finished my courses, passed my qualification exam, and closed out the year with excellent research results.

it was kinda wild but i am less depressed now yay
hopefully it gets better for everyone around here and otherwise~

i became an even bigger otaku and now im more dead inside which is easily interpreted by external parties as more stable mental health

happy new year
