Normally this would have been written at the end of the year, but I decided to enter the new year and give the previous year a breather. Give myself sometime to reflect and look back at everything in order to be able to look forward. I would like this to be my first entry of 2024 but as I write this I’m not so sure. Maybe it would just be short and sweet because I truly don’t know what I even want to say about the year 2023.
Lets start with the usual stuff, was it a good year? I usually am not that totalitarian because I don’t think it is possible to place a whole year, 365 different days, under one spectrum. Each day had their ups and downs. Some days were better than others, some days worse than the rest. All in all it was a pretty eventful year. Went on trips, tried different foods, lost friends (they didn’t die, they just decided not to be in my life anymore), lost some family members to the hands of death (I’ve never had someone that close to me die before, even if I didn’t really know them, my grandpa doesn’t count cause I was way too young and he was way too old). I clocked my one year of being single after my last relationship, not exactly excited about that one but it is what it is.
Oh yeah! I finally went pole dancing and I loved it; we are continuing this year. I celebrated my birthday after a few years of no celebration, and I really enjoyed it. Shoutout to everyone that came even if I know none of them would read this. I went on a horse carriage ride. I realized what I want in my forelife partner. Found out I was anemic. Started very very slowly eating better, I’m trying. I read more books. Started writing, not like I stopped but I feel like I’m doing better in terms of how often I do write. Did better in school, at least for some courses anyways. Met new people, pretty iffy about friendships at the moment but we’ll see. Bought new stuff as always. Realizing my place in people’s lives and treating them accordingly. Still avoiding the human race.
Basically, for most of the year I just took my time with everything I did. I let things and people go. Finally realized I’m an introvert and a solid home body, I do enjoy going out only if its fun. I learnt to not put myself in uncomfortable situations, still a process in stopping myself from doing that but its going. Still growing and learning every day and trying to figure out what to do with my life and where to go. I’m not a resolution type of person but I have decided to do better this 2024. It’s a process so there will be mistakes and errors, but I’ll do what I can.
This was as short as I expected it to be, but the next ones are going to be pretty long. I hope you enjoy reading them as I enjoyed writing them.
