With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what’s happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what’s going on that you’re looking forward to?

      I was just thinking of that. I imagined the US military actually serves it’s purpose to defend the constitution, attempts to arrest trump, he resists and then he dies.

      Is just wishful thinking tho…

    Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.

    Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we’ll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it’s own, even more so when I’ll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.

    Long term: our wedding next year! There’s still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It’s all very exciting!!

    My Rollerblades should be here Wednesday! Last I had a pair I was probably 17, but I started playing Bomb Rush Cyberpunk (spiritual successor to Jet Grind Radio) and was instantly hit with the urge to get back out there.

    Figuring out why I’m sick! I saw a new doctor today. The staff was nice. Every single time I step foot in the office, my blood will be stolen. Exciting!

      how long have you been searching? I once heard the average time of diagnosis is 10 years and I believe it. I’m on year 6 myself

        For the most recent things that they’re actually taking seriously? Around a year. I’ve been sick though for longer, but they don’t take that very seriously so idk.

            See, that’s what some other people told me as well! I’m fine if the vampires want my possibly tainted blood, just as long as they send some of it to testing to find out what’s wrong!

    After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I’m leaving that and getting my very own bees. I’m very excited at the prospect!

    Also, at the end of this year I’m going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I’m quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.

    I’m working on a freelancing project for a company that’s going to be paying me over $5k for the work I’ve done. I don’t know what I’m going to be using the money for but it’ll be nice to not have to worry about money for a while.

    Building a fence. It’s really going to improve my life.

    It’ll be fun to build. Look good. Contain my dog. Keep deer away from some stuff. Be a trellis for climbing flowers.

    I’ve built a lot of fences.

    My first therapy appointment tomorrow, which is way overdue. Somehow lucked out that there was someone in-network, checked all the boxes I needed, and literally 3 buildings over from my work.

    I’m a pro musician. I was in a big rock band in the mid 2010s, and we were doing all kinds of cool shit. It imploded over stuff that didn’t really involve me, but following that, I went into a serious drunk-depression that lasted years and almost killed me.

    I cleaned up, going on two years sober, have a new band together, and are about to open ourselves up to the world and start booking shows. It’ll be my first shows completely sober since like 2012. It’s terrifying, but I’m excited as hell.

    Punk rock music has fallen by the wayside. Time to try and bring it back to life. 🤘

    The day I quit my current job.

    I’ve been with this company for a few years. I grew in it and had a great time. My boss however decided to take over my job, and slowly I’ve been going back to tasks I was no longer doing since I had other responsibilities, while he takes over my tasks and ruins what I’ve been building for years.

    It’s been painful to see that, but extremely painful to see the mood of the team changing to the worse, and just having a sense of less productivity.

    It’s a lost cause at this point. So I’m just looking for the day where I get to leave.
