How are we all feeling as 2022 wraps up?

One hell of a menu. Truly. Illness, surgery, getting fired, losing a friend suddenly, starting a new job, more health issues, quitting again, moving house...
Now I've just been stuck on the couch in front of the TV for two months, feeling more unemployed than ever, mindlessly scrolling through YouTube, completely lost.
I'm just praying to God that I get healthy and that things settle down.
I am exhausted beyond belief. All I do is sleep, barely eat, walk a little, and watch TV.
A year worth crying over.
Hoping the next one treats me better. I've earned it.

You have truly been through the wringer. I am wishing you a much healthier, calmer, and more successful 2023. 🙂

One of those rough ones... A sick family member, a breakup... getting laid off... and now just more stuff piling up... I'm doing okay personally, but since my inner circle is struggling, I can't really say I'm fully happy either... Just hoping things turn around for them soon... Hopefully, the next chapter is a bit kinder...

Just a billion—and I mean MOSTLY, maybe—unverified... dollars.

Lonely and let down. Hopefully, the next one hits the mark...

I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed, honestly. Between the pro-vax crowd, the anti-vaxers, all those wild conspiracy theories, the war in Ukraine, talk of a New World Order, constant digital tracking—man, it's just too much. I find myself wishing I could go back to a time before smartphones and the internet—you know, back when anyone who could type but couldn't even master basic grammar could just shout whatever nonsense they wanted at the world. I miss the simple things, like the pine forests being leveled for development, or the way nature is basically being swallowed up by the tourism industry. It feels like everything I actually care about is disappearing, and honestly, things might just keep getting worse and... well, I think I lost my train of thought.

A lot of people from my hometown passed away recently, including my uncle. We weren't exactly close, but I still feel a sense of sadness.

In America, I’m really trying to get out there more and actually trust people again. I’ve always been a bit of a loner, but honestly, it was more about what life threw at me than who I am... So now I just want to find my people and build some real friendships, though everything else depends on how much effort I put in...

Honestly, it was pretty decent—actually, it was amazing because I spent the tail end of the year surrounded by great people and just soaking up the peace we all desperately needed.

Yesterday was a bit of a headache, but nothing I couldn't handle... looking back, the whole year was a massive grind, honestly pretty stressful, though mostly because I let certain things get under my skin that didn't even matter. Like, the constant work travel? It wasn't even stressing me out anymore; it was just driving me absolutely insane, so I finally stepped in and rearranged my schedule to suit my own sanity—and hey, if anyone wants to sit around whining about it, be my guest. 😁

Bottom line, I’m hoping this next year is an upgrade and stays way lower on the stress scale. 😁 🎉
