“When you shall say, "As others do, so will I. I renounce, I am sorry for it, my early visions; I must eat the good of the land, and let learning and romantic expectations go, until a more convenient season." — then dies the man in you;” - Ralph W. Emerson
I'd hope you all had a great Christmas, and if not, then you're at least safe. And lastly, that your New Years' will be good too. 83
This year has been memed into legend as among the worst of all time, when that's likely just a major exaggeration brought about by the internet. However, that doesn't mean a lot of people haven't been harmed this year. There's been a virus, lockdown, and the emotional and environmental fallout of this, along with a stressful political climate. People don't seem happy, so while this year is probably not all that bad on paper, it certainly feels that way to many.
I have to say, however, that I've found this year more of a mixed bag. Last year was an emotional wreck for me, when even the year I cried every night and considered suicide was considered much more tolerable. This year, however, has many positives and negatives for me.
On the bad side, those awful feelings from last year haven't disappeared. That combined with the lockdown eventually made me so unfocused and disoriented that I did very poorly in scheduling and my classes. I didn't fail anything, but I did worse than I should've. Also, Bubbles got sick in the early part of the year, much like Spanky. Her behavior, however, isn't the same as his was. I hope that she isn't in pain, and will be with us for more precious moments.
On the good side, I have certainly felt better. I've actually been unafraid through most of the year. I also have plans ready for next year; exercise, art, etc. This is also the biggest year for movies for me. I've watched over one hundred movies this year; a major accomplishment compared to the one-or-two the last near decade. I've probably watched more movies this year than I ever have before. I also actually played video games to a small extent. Still hard to really get into after a while, unfortunately, but they haven't been left to just rot like the last two years.
Next year, I hope to get a job, exercise more, read my books and play more games and write more, maybe even make art and even commissioning artists a scheduled thing, idk. I didn't get a calendar for Christmas, so I'll have to get one myself, but I did mostly well this year with mine. It really helps me.
That's about all I have to say about this year. Sorry for so many journals this month. I just had a lot to say. I hope someone likes reading what I want to say today. Good day, and good next year. 83

It's alright, seems we've all been kept busy this year

Ye, it turned, as the old nursery rhyme goes, the world upside down, so to speak
