discussion The first 1000 days of the 2020s...how did it go for you?

[Genius1111]

 How crappy has the first 1000 days of the 2020s been for you? 

[MonsterJohn]

****

 

Pandemic, loneliness, move in a shitty 1 room apartment, stuck at the job that I hate most of the team 

 

At least I'm not unemployed and can support myself I guess 

[illia]

pandemic + depression + war

 

"Terrible" is an understatement

[brenda-walsh]

its been 50/50.

 

got my first job, moved into a really amazing townhouse with friends, graduated college, + some other great experiences

 

on the down side: pandemic, depression, eating disorder, weed addiction, terrible living situation, + a couple others

[Trent W]

On a personal level, the most successful decade and I found the most personal growth too.

 

But the world went to **** honestly. Definitely the hardest times in a WW scale compared to the last few decades.

[ariananext]

Fine/good on a personal level, but feeling extremely pessimistic about the world and my country 

[Illuminati]

A nightmare, litrally

[Bloodflowers.]

Going great, I am winning so much in life!

[mystery]

If someone told me in on 01.01.2020. what would transpire this decade in just the next 1000 days I wouldn't believe them.

Failed miserably on my first attempt to leave home, my grandma (dad's side) died of old age, my dad sees I am struggling and convinces me to pursue my passion with full support from him and my mom, leading me to decide to go back home and to college. Went back broke but with a positive attitude, then my dad suddenly died.

In the aftermath had a massive feud with extended family who behaved like vultures. We ended up cutting all ties with half of them, we decided to get a dog who ended up being a complete angel, the dog got hit by a car months later, college was a no go due to no financial support, moving away again the only option.

So here I am, moved away to another country and have been working for a year. It has been going okay and I am saving up, I feel good in that regard but it was supposed to be so much different and I feel like life is not what it was meant to be, I went into this decade so optimistic about the future and yet it ended up so terrible.

[Anomaly]

2020 was one of the best years of my life; maybe the best tbh. Ironic given everything that happened that year.

 

2021 was an average year. Nothing to complain about.

 

2022 has without a doubt been the ABSOLUTE WORST year of my life. I want to cry myself to sleep every night. There has only been 1.5 weeks this year so far that were tolerable with no end in sight.

[Kiss It Better]

i love it, doing great

[UnusualBoy]

This year has been good. The first two were terrible due to covid and all that.

[RihFenty20]

The first 100 or so days were a bit rough. But the rest have been great for my personal and financial growth and I continue to trend upwards. 

[Virgos Groove]

2020 was... okay? Started off nice, became kinda messy during the lockdown and then improved somewhat towards the end. I honestly don't remember that much of it

 

2021 started off AWFUL. I was stuck at home with nothing to do for 3 months, and it really started to affect my mental health. I was gaining weight like crazy, felt frustrated and like I was wasting my youth. When the return of presential classes was announced, I went back to my college town like a week before they started. I just couldn't stand being in my hometown anymore.

 

April to September was pretty nice. I began working on improving my looks and my mental health.

 

September to January 2022 was quite literally the best time of my life.  I had a great ground of friends, I joined a gym, I was loving what I was studying, I became more confortable with myself, I was going out way more... I just felt so happy to be alive, which I hadn't truly felt in a while.

 

From March to June, I completed my internship, which went pretty well, and left my college town. At the time, I didn't make that big of a deal of it.

 

However, I moved to a new town this weekend to start my master's, and I'm really starting to miss my old college town and my friends. It took a while, but that nostalgia is starting to hit. I'm also suffering from a lot of doubt over whether I picked the right course.

2017-2019 was my reputation era, 2020 and onward has been my folklore/TV  So much has improved for me

[Aethereal]

Horrible. I've distanced from my friends extremely much and lost passion for my motives. And some other horrible things that have happened I don' want to talk about. 

[GentleEarthquake]

awful, hellish

[terrorblade]

covid really fcked everything up. I was supposed to be in my 1989 era. I hate it here

[Cloudy]

Like ****, so basically the same as the previous decade

[Mark!]

this thread actually made me reflect

 

precovid, i was stuck in a job i lowkey hated. never in a million years would have i thought i'd leave that place. i'm working somewhere else now, not the best, but better that the prior. if my old place hasn't moved to remote during the pandemic, i probably wouldn't have urged myself looking out there.

[Cyanide]

Hmm it’s been very interesting.

 

I think professionally and financially it has been really profound and amazing but my personal life has gone to ****

 

Got dumped once the pandemic started and haven’t truly found anyone else after, dead romantic life, paranoia, weight loss and gain, collapse of many friendships, drug addiction, alcoholism, just getting to a point where I’m at rock bottom and don’t give a **** anymore several times including now. 

[makeme]

I got a new really great apartment downtown, a new car, I go on more vacations than ever, i'm working out, eating better, and I look better than ever (I'm only 25). I'm basically thriving in almost all aspects of my life. Not everything can be perfect I fell in love for the first time with like the perfect guy and it didn't work out so that has been really shitty.

It was going so well until the pandemic  depression set in and my mother died. Only just getting out of the hole now

[Alldeezy]

First 2 months was great. I saw yungblud and as it Is live went clubbing for the last time then it Was lockdown. My bf at the time moved in and I played nothing but animal crossing. 

 

But after a while I Got tired of him.  And broke up 6 months once lockdown kinda ended
