Reflecting on this year · 4:10am Jan 1st, 2021
Well, we're at the final few hours of 2020. What do I even need to say about this year? I think everyone can agree nobody is going to remember this year fondly. This year was like everyone playing roulette and it was liking landing on the double zero; everyone lost. For some people, it's been harder than others what with what's going on in the world, the politics, and so much more. I've sadly also neglected writing new romance stories. I'm still having some issues, but I hope to change that soon. That being said, there are a few good things that did happen, even with some of my big plans falling apart for the year.
For one thing, I've gotten myself in a bit more better shape. I've actually managed to go down a pants size now, which is good in my current line of work.
I managed to get a new job that's closer to home. It was for the best as I discovered my old one was making me more miserable than I thought. My new one is better in which I'm actually moving around instead of standing around and waiting for something to happen.
I got to see my brother again for the first time in three years. He's changed a bit, but he's still the bro I've come to know and love. I'm hoping to see him again next year.
Thankfully, all I know personally from my friends and family itself are still around too. I miss seeing them all and having some good laughs, ribbing each other, and just hanging out with them. I'm hoping next year that changes. I know this year has been hard, people, but I hope whatever 2020 has thrown at you, that for all the bad that's happened, perhaps some good things have happened to you as well. Like I said though, nobody, including myself, is going to remember this year fondly. I'm not even sure what to expect from next year. All we can do is hope and perhaps things can finally calm down instead of it getting more tense. Let's all just leave this year behind dead and buried and hope whatever comes up in 2021, it's a major improvement. It can only go uphill from here, right?
One last thing. Instead of saying "Happy New Year!", just yell out "JUMANJI!" at midnight so we can all escape this game we've been all in for the entire year. Goodbye, 2020. It has not been a pleasure, and it never will be.
Huh, well said thoughts here. I cracked up at the Jumanji part, that was funny. But yeah, all of the 20's have been filled with hardships it seems, much like the 1920's, I suppose history does repeat itself. But as you said, things should only get better in time, each hardship can only strengthen your scales and ignite your passions more.
Also good job on the pants sizes and job, hope those both continue to improve for you! Plus it's great you seem to have a good relationship with your family, that's always important.
Anyway, I know this is an old blog. But it was so well written, I just decided to drop a reply.
