2020!

The new year is but hours away now and I couldn't be happier to see this 'click of the odometer.'
2019 was a shit year. The death of a friend and getting laid off unexpectedly were the big events. The fact they happened on the same day last January really didn't help.
They say that things like that happen to make us stronger. Whatever. I think they happen because they happen. There is no reason for them. It's just up to all of us to deal with it.
How we deal with shit reveals our resiliency. It also highlights the fact that worrying about shit doesn't do anything. Somehow life will toss you in a different direction when you aren't expecting it every time.
It also means letting the past control me isn't doing me any favours.
That's the key takeaway for me this year. Live in the present. Don't worry about the future. It will all work out somehow.
And that's why I like New Year's Day: letting the past be in the past.
May your 2020 be amazing and may you be resilient to any crap that comes your way.

I'm sorry to hear you lost a friend though :(
I see you've grown tired of an unhelpful worrisome state, I think it's good to learn how some emotions can be exhausting if not applied rightfully, in both senses of too much and too little.
I hope you can find peace with your dealings, I wish that for you and me both. Take care.
