kimberly Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 2019 2023 (so far) 2022 2021 2020 so it goes like this: '19 \ '23 \ / \ '22 \ / \ '21 \ / '20
Ewan Chaos Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 2019 > 2022 > 2020 > 2021 >>> 2018 2023 is going well so far, thankfully. If I could portion it out in time frames, the first month of 2019 would be dead last though nn and I'd probably have had the first half of 2020 higher than the second half.
skwonderfactory Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) 1. 2019 (I had my internship and graduated college, plus this was the last year I had a solid group of friends. It was just a pretty good year overall and was the last time I felt everyone really lived before CO-VID, inflation, loss of LGBQT+ rights, an increase in the racial divide, etc.) 2. 2023 (Recently I moved in with the love of my life and I am making so much progress in my own life through setting boundaries with others and my "career", plus my mental health. This could go #1 depending on how well the rest of the year goes.) 3. 2021 (It was a mixed bag TBH. The first half didn't really have any memorable moments and the second half is when I seriously started dating. I did meet one of my closest friends who is like a little sister to me though.) 4. 2022 (I had a lot of stress, but at least I learned some valuable lessons.) 5. 2020 (Yeah, this year was just not good at all from March onwards.)

zasderfght Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) 2019 was a lot of fun. Lots of partying and hookups. I didn't give a care in the world and didn't have to worry about adult things like bills. 2020-early 2021 sucked because I had a chronic pain condition that wasn't put in remission until I had surgery. Late 2022 was 50/50. I worked my first career job that had its high highs and its extremely low lows, more partying/hookups, however, late 2022, my depression was horrible-- so bad to the point medication wasn't an option-- it was a necessity. Late 2022 - Late 2022 was maybe as bad as 2020-2021. I developed a separate chronic pain condition that is FINALLY getting better, I lived with a roommate who was an absolute slob and her issues with work/relationships affected our living because her depression robbed her of her ability to show up as a roommate. I basically cleaned the entire apartment while she was at her bf's house and hanging out with her sister and friends. That's great, but don't leave dishes in the sink, and leave the place looking like we threw a house party. I'm at a point now in my life where I feel like life isn't so bad, warts and all. Yes, I deal with psychosomatic and nerve pain, but I found meds. that are helping with that, along with my anxiety and depression. People don't realize when you find the right treatment, it can change your entire life. This year also made me "grow" up, in a sense. I had to make compromises in my current relationship (I love my boyfriend to death, don't get me wrong, but a relationship also involves sacrifice), I got to truly know my best friend of 10 years (and to be honest, I liked the version of herself she showed me; as a person, she has a lot to work on & not a person I'd want to be around 24/7), and I'm having to set boundaries with my friends. I used to run away from my problems-- now I'm confronting them more, and believe me, it's a lot easier being direct and honest with people in your life. Your mental health is important, and you should always prioritize yourself. You're the only constant in this world-- you might as well make sure you love and take care of yourself. And the people who respect that will stay & respect that. Ranking: 2019 > 2022 > 2021 > 2020 We're half-way into 2023; it'll be interesting to see how the rest of the year pans out, but I'm hopeful it might be better than 2022 and maybe even 2019.
