another year
this one's going to feel uncharacteristically short because i'm trying to not overfilter and spend quite literally the last day of the year tripping on words to wrap up a year i can only describe as Big.
this has been a Big year for me. i know i mentioned that the worst possible thing happened to me this year, but i think making it all solely about that is a disservice to the rest of the actually good and fun stuff i made happen this year. for one, i bounced back from being unemployed!
i also made gaming fun for me again. i played (and finished) undertale for the first time, and finally completed one in-game year of stardew valley — a long-time endeavor of mine.
this year, i also started some actually healthy habits like:
- working out (not every day because rest days are important)
- actually tracking my sleep
- reading every day (this one took a brief hit during unemployment but i'm approaching a 70-day reading streak so i'm just proud of getting back on my feet)
- reducing my phone screen time (this one was challenging because i read mostly on my phone for, uh, the reading streak...)
- not working past my work hours
there was also that bangkok trip with g and another solo trip i had to take a couple months before. hopefully, i'll be able to travel some more next year.
it's been a Big year. it looked bad for a second, but i'm happy i'm ending it on a hugely more positive note. and if i can survive this one, maybe i'll do just fine for the next ones.
