Here’s to a better year.
Surely they can’t push Covid for much longer, right??
Anyway, I’ve been struggling a lot this week, tbh.
New Year’s Eve was ok, even if not how I planned it (I almost had a better night, but… Effed it up, lol). Unfortunately the days before and since… Haven’t really been. But New Year’s Day is generally shit, I guess, so I’m used to that.
Anyhoo, hope yours was good, and that this year brings you some good things.
I’m just taking it day by day, myself. If I even make it to 2024, that would be a bit of a “miracle”, at this point. So I guess there’s that.
Peace.
I just realized a few commonalities between the people who make me feel like shit (both in person and on social media) and the people who do not…
Apparently one thing the first group has in common is that they almost all relate back to one geographical place…
It’s why I left. Clearly I haven’t overcome that.
They’re also almost all degree-educated or beyond.
But the people I met at Uni (deliberately far away) and/or while travelling mostly don’t make me feel like this.
There’s something in that. It’s not the fault of the people involved, necessarily, but I guess it does show… Who can stay and who can go, if I’m even going to “survive” this period of my life…
You know how people in some towns tend to stay and get married and have kids - stereotypical shit?
Imagine that but also with (too much) money and PhDs and fucking house deposits and shit. It’s… Well I guess it’s just not me.
It’s time I accepted that, I guess.
