discussion We are almost halfway through the decade. How was the first half for you?

Best years of my adult life 

[kweenofxanax]

Just all around rough. I started the decade at 23, I'm now 27 and still dealing with the fallout of my mess/bad decisions. Burned a lot of bridges, tried to make new ones the past few months and burned those too. Anyway, I decided to stop drinking like a week ago, I hope it holds up this time, it's feeling especially hard during this season. I just wanna go back to work and distract myself with that.
 

I hope things really turn around for me bit by bit but it all comes down to how I set forth in doing that. I'm gonna give myself some grace though and find a way to do better and be better. I'm thinking of find new hobbies and also go back to the gym. It's all so overwhelming rn

A bit long but here u have it  in Spoilers below.
My 2020s decade summarized. To be honest my 2020s went better than my 2010s. 


 

Spoiler

 

January to March 2020:

 

The year started perfectly for me. Things were looking so good and promising—my highest peak in life. 
I was 100% sure that we were entering a shift this year, and something revolutionary was coming, but I thought it would be positive.

I was studying at one of the top universities in my country, living alone, with good friends and a great place in a good neighboorhood 
I was lookin so good cause i was exercizing and just in peak form
There were so many adventures and new experiences, and I felt so connected  to the tech world for the first time. My new passion-hobbie
 

These songs bring me back to that joyful, happy time. Used to play em a lot back then : 
 

 

March to December 2020:

COVID hit, and for the next few months-years, I was staying with my mom and dad and had to leave university.
It was honestly a really scary time—just a really weird period. A time to think about the past, too. The lockdowns...

I was constantly having mini breakdowns, thinking I had COVID at midnight, and I was so worried about everyone I care about.
Seeing the suffering everywhere worldwide was deeply disturbing.

All the deaths... I remember this time as something out of a dystopian movie.
I went through some depressive moments too, overthinking the past and my regrets.
Played tons of videogame and old classics like Earthbound
 

These are the songs that connect me most to that time:

 

 

2021:

This year, I was still with my family at home all enclosed.
We were extra careful and waited until the vaccines were available here in my country in June-July before going out regularly.
So, 2020-2021 kind of feel like two lost years...
But we did take a small trip to my grandma's farm, where I played Folklore and Evermore and just forgot about the virus for two weeks in january 2021. It was a nice escape.

For me, this year was all about mending old, broken relationships in the extended family (So encanto)
 just relaxing, and having hope for the future—hoping things would get better.
I was also really nostalgic about so many things from past decades and revisited a lot of content I had missed.

I don't know why, but that sense of nostalgia just came up-was born. 
 

The song I associate with this time is Solar Power because things were starting to look better and more hopeful
and Shower by Becky G cause i was real nostalgic about the 2010s times in that summer of 2021

 

 

2022:

This year started off really bad. Financial ruin hit because my dad left his high-paying job. No university. My parents were having marital problems all the time.
There were a lot of fights. Things looked really bad. Unable to find job.  Brother broke up with his girlfriend

I was eating way too much junk food to forget about those stressing times and i was sick

But things started to get better in August. 

I moved to a new town with my family, and we got back to financial stability. Things improved, and happier times arrived with new experiences.
It was such a good return to nice times. The ending of the year was awesome

I associate this time with these songs.

Hold my Hand cause i was lost and sad and Bejeweled cause i was shining in the end of the year
 

 

 

2023:

I went back to university (online) and did great. I made some new friends 

One of our neighbors has become a big part of our family now. I went to so many new places...

It was just a chill year—about relaxing, living life, and enjoying some time like a vacation. It was all about self-love.
Very sophisticated and colorful and sunny

The song I associate with this year is...

 

 

2024
This year started with a highly traumatic event I'll never forget .......when i was ready to summit and explore all my darkness and ruin my life
every month brought some life-changing event. It was pure chaos.
I was not able to study this year cause we had to pay for my brother surgery cause his ex-girlfriend cooking was unhealthy

At the same time, it's been one of the best times I've had since 2020. It was a year of facing my worst fears in life.

I ended the year on a bad note cause my sense of smell is gone after covid...., but I learned so much.
I exorcized my demons this year. Im now connected to real real love and i know my body-myself and what i want with my future in that sense

I really needed this year even if it was rough. It was the year of yin and yang for me.

This is probably the year I grew the most in this decade and matured. Crazily Trascendental

The songs i associate with this year
 

My enemy is destroyed. I shoot em down.
 

Espresso, Illusion, Birds of a Feather too*



For a magnificent and revolutionary 2025 but in a good way this time   Big shift comin
