Something positive going on in your life? Share it here!
I just got a new job after 7 years and while I wasn’t unhappy with my old job. My new one is with an organisation I’ve been passionate about my whole life.
Hopefully I’ll get a holiday season this December without tragedy after a few years of difficulty around that time of year.
Also accessibility to my local sports team has just massively increased for me and I’ll be able to attend more games and even bring my dad.
That’s excellent! It’s amazing how much of a change being happy at work can make. Having that passion definitely makes it feel like you aren’t even working.
Hope your holidays rock man.
Finally passing all of my first-year college classes. It’ll be my third year attempting them. I’m a disabled student, so I split the courseload into two years, but then I failed a few of them this past year… I’m trying to stay positive. I’ll pass for sure this time!
Hell yeah! Don’t ever give it up. One of my favorite people I have worked for told me, when I was failing miserably at a management position I got shoved into, that we learn far more from our failures than our successes. As long as your learn something, the time is not wasted.
Even if it takes you 69,420 more attempts, the time will continue to pass either way. Once you cross that finish line, the struggles will be but a distant memory. You will be glad that you stuck with it. Good luck with your classes! Keep that head held high :)
My continued transition. I started feminizing HRT in March of last year. The first year was amazing and I’m really hoping for continued amazing changes from it. <3
You’ll have to forgive a lot of my ignorance around this topic, but I hope it all goes well for you and you find your happiness at the end of that road.
I think and ideal world would be like a video game character creation menu that you could just access and make changes at will. But I guess that would also take the fun out of the randomness of life. Good luck on your journey!
No worries! Thanks for the well-wishes!
A character creation menu would be great. Several of my nonbinary and genderfluid friends would love something like that! XD
Super happy for you! That’s great!
I had to think then for a moment. But my best friend from childhood is moving back to the country and it’s been long anticipated, so that’s pretty amazing news.
Also starting a teaching course soon and I’m really looking forward to getting back into education even part time.
What are you looking forward to?
You are a braver person than I am. For being such an invaluable career, teachers do not make nearly enough. Props for moving back into education though.
Me? Man, you are the first one to ask me that. I got a promotion at work that came with a 20% raise, but it’s going to take a while before I see it. I recently consolidated all of my debt and will be completely debt free in three years or earlier. But I guess most of all, I am going to be ordering some more sunglasses soon and I’m pretty stoked to try them out. It’s the little things, you know?
The little things are so important!
Congratulations on the promotion and being debt free sooner is very impressive and a weight off your shoulders!
Being able to try out lots of different new things and hobbies now that university has somewhat allowed for greater flexibility in how you study compared to high school.
What kind of things are you interested in?
ive tried out a variety of things like ive started teaching myself crocheting but at the same time ive decided to start learning python lol
I tried to learn python once. I followed the book and made a script that would tell you if the minute was odd or even. “This minute seems a little odd”. It was fun, but way beyond my ADHD brain’s focus constraints.
I do IT for a living and I know that’s where all the money is, but I would never be successful. Hope it works out for you!
I very rarely post on social media, but these kinds of sincere topics can usually get me to open up a bit.
A couple of months ago I finally got myself to give streaming another shot. I’ve always wanted to see where it leads, but was unable to enjoy it properly due to social anxiety and the fact that up till now I had an unhealthy relationship with the Internet. A couple of years ago I went through therapy, which helped me with these issues, so when an opportunity arrived, I just jumped in without a second thought.
So far it’s been a rollercoaster, I’m still struggling to figure out my style, as well as get more comfortable with streaming by myself (I am quite introverted myself, and I usually do it with my guild members which makes it easier for me to not have to constantly “be on”). I’m also struggling to find a consistent audience, but despite all of these things, the overall microscopic spikes of people checking it out are worth it for me.
So, for the next year, I hope to figure these things out and get a consistent audience going. I still have no idea what I want to do with it, aside from “I just want to try it properly”. It also helped me step away from my day-to-day job and have something to do that is completely different.
Another thing that I also hope to do is move out of my current apartment and get away from this dreadful neighborhood, but that will happen eventually. It’s just a matter of time, and I can’t control how it develops.
