I still feel like 2020 was a year ago honestly


Vinny_Lam

Covid has really distorted our sense of time. Feels like we skipped a couple of years. 


redwolf1430

Because time keeps on slipping , slipping,


Clutch_Floyd

Into the future


FitSquirrel596

Not for me. Covid was the best thing ever happened to me. I got into a sport and find out it is my passion.


nick313

Time flies after Covid. Yesterday it was a new year, tomorrow March starts (not really, but that how it feels)


Interesting-Pipe0000

konsai_liner

Awful


[deleted]

Same, friend. The only things that are keeping me from ending it all are my dog and my girl.


troublekeepingup

Those are the two things making me


DIABLO258

Yeah his dog and his girl are making me as well


mikedomert

Same. Except my motivation is to get better from diseases that nearly killed and disabled me. I know good, happy life can be waiting in a few months or at least a year or something. You also have a happy life waiting if you just work, work, work for it, day and night, keep going friend


[deleted]

Aye. Silver linings and shit. I know. Therapist used to say something similar. Thanks. You keep it pushin’ too. 🩷🙏🏾

RectumExplorer--

Me personally I'm waiting for GTA 6 to drop.


tkdbbelt

It's like every year has been worse than the year before for the past decade and this year is keeping that trend. Every new year we say maybe this is the one. I've given up thinking that now.


friskboi

cakes and candles my brother 🙌


NoNotThatScience

Great. Earning amazing money in a new job, about to put money down on a block of land to build my first house.


Pineroll

Congrats and good luck!


Thesearchoftheshite

You didn't ask, but get all your ducks in a row and keep tabs on your builder. Also, HELL YEAH! Enjoy the new place. Edit: A word. lol whoops.


NoNotThatScience

Im almost certain you meant "ducks" in a row but thanks for the chuckle and advice mate. My brother's a chippy and I'm a sparky so between us both we should hold their feet to the fire 🫡


PrestigiousAccess957

That is so awesome. Well done, and hope everything goes well for you!


Sir_George

Nice, Godspeed!


backtolurk

pretty bland


kitty60s

Same. I can’t complain though, it could be way worse.


gabriel_oly10

Could always be worse


Visible-Elevator-272

Started out pretty ok until I suddenly lost my job a couple of days ago. Kinda sucks now. How’s yours?


WaffleBlues

Hey friend, I'm in the same boat - lost my.job Monday after 10 years with the same company. It has been the most humiliating and awful week of my life.  Simultaneously, the support from family and friends has been amazing, and I often feel unworthy. Here is to both of us finding better days.


Visible-Elevator-272

I am so sorry. The emotional experience you’re describing is dead on. Very hard not to internalize the feelings of rejection and unworthiness. I’m so glad you are finding plenty of support. My friends are being very kind and supportive as well. I haven’t told my family yet. I am divorced with no kids and live halfway across the country from my parents and sibling. My folks are older (I’m 58) and I think the news is going to be very hard on my mom in particular. She is developing some dementia and I am seriously considering not telling her until I have found something else. Wishing you peace and solidarity and continued support from your loved ones. Try to remember that this does not define you. What happened to you, to us, is not who we are. It’s just an unexpected detour that could turn out amazing.


DjCyric

If you were laid off through no fault of your own, make sure you file for unemployment insurance ASAP. The program runs weekly from Sunday through Saturday. Most states have a mandatory unpaid "Waiting Week" to process incoming claims. So make sure to open your claim ASAP and request weekly payments after the week ends. I am sorry for your loss of employment. That is incredibly difficult, second only as a life stresser to a death in the family. It's hard to know what your purpose is and what to do. Thankfully, unemployment I'd really low, and the job market is desperate for labor. Hope you have better luck soon.


Visible-Elevator-272

Thank you for this kind response. I appreciate it very much. In my position I was an independent contractor and therefore I am unfortunately not eligible for unemployment.


DjCyric

Yeah, that would make you ineligible in most cases. I am sorry to hear that. I hope you find something better and can flourish from this time.


Visible-Elevator-272

Thank you, I really do appreciate your taking the time to offer support. It helps more than you know.


DjCyric

I have worked in labor relations for over a decade. I have helped tens of thousands of people through multiple recessions. A lot of times people are alone and afraid and need to know someone cares. Things will get better. I believe in you. *hug*


Visible-Elevator-272

Thank you ❤️


Tistouuu

Brutal.


hiimsubclavian

Anger and determination. I will get my vengeance.

The worst of all years

Exhausting


Fitz911

After three "best year of my life" after another I'm not sure how to top the last years. So it's looking like this year will only be a fucking good year!!


[deleted]

awesome!


Fitz911

Thanks man! After 30 something shitty years... It's my turn now!


strawberrydreamm

pretty good, i got a positive pregnancy test and I’m expecting twins later this year, but i also been struggling with my anxiety a lot lately so it’s been a roller coaster

What's the level just below "meh" called?

icedwhitemochaiato

2 months of trials and tribulations 😭


RandomThrowawayID

In a word, “surprising”. An obscure health problem (that I’d never heard of) suddenly knocked me for a loop, forcing me to make my first-ever 911 call, take my first-ever ambulance ride, and spend a couple days in the hospital. But I’m gradually recuperating, with the help of my loving spouse and some terrific physical therapists. And I have big plans for the year, which I’ll likely fulfill as long as fate doesn’t mess with me like that again.


mikedomert

I feel you. Also recovering from massive illness that nearly killed me. Its a tough road but health and wellbeing awaits us


HF_Martini6

just as lonely and depressing as 2023, thank you for bringing it up

Fucking hell


No-Knowledge-2765

Terrible on the financial front , but otherwise pretty good so far and the media released so far this year has been great


Louis-grabbing-pills

Still no Left 4 Dead 3. Sad.


GuppyGirl1234

Hey if they can come out with new Silent Hill material, it could happen! Maybe someone will even revive Dead Space.


[deleted]

Great Germany legalization of weed!


zappy487

Honestly pretty awful. My whole family's been sick pretty much every week. My grandmother died suddenly. Work keeps firing people, and I've lost several really good minds and work buddies. We've had thousands in unexpected bills. The only silver lining is my son is healthy and just started crawling two days ago. His laugh is literally my only light in the darkness right now.


Naive_Cauliflower_22

Graduated, searching for job but no luck so far, depressed but still trying to move forward 🥹


Buttercup_candy

Better than 23 maybe ? 23 was literally the lowest point of my life. I tried to overwork myself,created a voice in my head whose sole purpose was to bully and criticise everything I did,I was so hard on myself. I didn’t appreciated myself enough so I stopped improving. This year I vowed to be kind,and gentle to me.


Grenflik

Not bad, my wife just got a new job that she’s extremely passionate about, her first job in 10 years. Doubled our income and in about a year and a half we’ll have saved up enough money to move to a better apartment. Our current one is awful.


Negative-Ice7560

Pretty bad


MyoDonuts

Bad


drewj2017

Horseshit. Lost my mom in January. Currently in the middle of an existential crisis and depressive spiral – working through it and trying to become who I want to be.


[deleted]

I hate when people ask a question to something or someone they deep down don't care about.


GuppyGirl1234

It's been a fucking dumpster fire, same as 2023. I'm really working hard to turn it all around. \- I'm writing again, will probably start dabbling in photography in the Spring/Summer \- lost a total of 15.5lbs since November (from 151lbs to 135.5lbs), eating better and doing more workouts at home and at the gym \- going out more with coworkers and friends alike (I've got a girls night tomorrow, another in two weeks, multiple networking events a few weeks later, etc.) I'll be damned if this year turns out to be just as ridiculous as last year!


Dogtown5157

Absolute dogshit so far. I'm ready to call it for 2025


rudefish22

Chaos


zel_bob

Can’t complain too much. Very grateful for my job I have. Almost have my student loans paid off (May will be 2 years). I got a raise from my job this month and I will be getting a big bonus (no idea how much but it’s about 1.5x the normal amount, no idea how much the normal amount is). I’m in good health. I have a great family, friends, I feel genuinely happy.


Exotic_Not_Exotic

So far so good. Thank you for asking


WISEstickman

Awesome. Best I’ve been in a long time


mugen1337

2 abcesses on my teeth, a skin infection that could lead to gangrene if untreated and got my official diagnose for ADHD.


Spare-Skill8101

Underwhelming.. hoping I’d get my plot twist this year


LewDevy

It is what it is


Regreddit1979

It’s shit. Like the rest of the 2020s. 


SameAd9297

Not great. Working a job that's understaffed has been the worst part of my year so far, constantly being forced to work overtime.


pmzw

Hang in there buddy 🤕


Muted_Action5717

Meh. 


Dizzy_Store_760

Meh. You?


AspirantVeeVee

🔥😊👌🔥 everything is fine


nuggetcasket

Mixed feelings. It didn't start too well, it's been challenging but I kind of feel like things are getting better in general this year. I'm having a more positive perspective on things even though I'm still afraid they'll turn out wrong again. It'll be ok.


Au_Dazza

Meh


[deleted]

As shitty as the previous years & going downhill


BigBootyWhisperer

No GTA 6 yet so this year is a write off


gorohoroh

Nearly went bankrupt, wasn't able to get a new perm job so far, currently relocating to a new country without my family. On the upside, I just spent a few days with old friends, my little side project is showing signs of life, and I'm going to a country with a drastically lower cost of living. It's stressful so far, but there's hope.


Icy_Wrongdoer_8890

Better than it was before.


fairytalecliche

Awful.


darth_nadoma

It’s been good. I have started therapy to fix my perfectionism problem, and also began serious GIS studies.


darthjoker02

It’s been fine. Definitely (so far) an improvement to last year.


SylhetiG

It's alright but the weather's miserable here in the UK


BritishTeal5888

Bad. Earthquake.


mwpt98

Better than last year's early 2023. But im still going insane in this damn meat suit


[deleted]

Shitshow!


[deleted]

So good to be honest


Troubled_Rat

I need a job, but I can't change who I was, and people don't judge me for who I am now, and they trust lies and slander upon my name.


MisterD90x

3 deaths in the last 3 weeks plus another diagnosed terminal with 2 months to live.. I might have kidney failure. My uncle had a big stroke. Recovering though. Dad's got a lung infection. And mum's ill to the point of not being able to get out of bed. So yeah, all hunkydory


IUsedToBeThatGuy42

You ok, Elmo?


my-anonymity

This feels like the best year I’ve had in a while. I’ve settled in at my new job and really love it and the people I work with. I feel like I’m on the right career path finally. I’m about to go on my first international trip of the year. I think my partner is going to propose sometime this year. I’m working towards my mental and physical health and am seeing a lot of progress to motivate me to keep going. Oh, I had ICL a couple of weeks ago and it went well. I can see clearly for the first time and am no longer afraid my eyeballs are going to fall out.


Zyborgg

Doing good so far, lost almost 4 kg. On the gym and uni and job searching grind.


RKL1964

Well....Trump's still breathing, so it sucks so far. I thought Iran was going to eliminate him for killing Solemani?


jgoldner

Way fewer panic attacks!


[deleted]

Perfect... I'm still alive. Being grateful for every second more


FitSquirrel596

Met the love of my life. Did some things I never thought I would do. Great.


echte_liebe

It started really bad. I lost a childhood friend around Christmas to a suicide. But it helped me reconnect with alot of friends that I had isolated from my life because of my drug use. I'm off of heroin and starting to feel better. Some days are worse than others. I really miss my friend, and I feel alot of guilt about it. But it's getting better.


elSchiz

It's going great so far. Hit a personal financial goal, built some mechanical keyboards, been playing Helldivers2 with the bois, finally enjoying a season of APEX Legends, had a birthday recently, and I'm just shy of 2yrs from retiring from a 20yr career. I'm healthy, my parents are doing well and for the first time in years so is my brother. I'm thankful.

Pretty much amazing Finally living in our house that we bought ans furnished Partner and I had beautiful healthy baby Great. Sleep deprived, but great


Interesting_Move_919

Pretty good. I'm no longer as depressed and suicidal like I used to be :)

I had my first body, so I’m happy


nick313

And till now you were just a consciousness in a computer?


curiouschimp83

I have been ill since Christmas night... first had a terrible cold/flu... then that turned into whooping cough which I still have and is marginally better... and then on Sunday just gone I coughed so much I threw my back out and now struggling to walk and every position is incredibly uncomfortable. So in summation... it could be better.


[deleted]

Almost half-way to the next decade, in the year of our Lord, Capesus.


youronlynora

Fun and healthy


Evil49nd_

It hasn't


kakkelimuki

The same as last year.


polmeeee

The worst. Thinking I'm done with Earth and this shall be my last.


Britneey_Luxe

I think 2021 was the best year ever


Chocolatelover4ever

Awful. And it’s only going to get worse. Due to a family issue I knew was always going to happen. Now the year it does is finally here. And only a month and a half away until it does happen.


saikaaaaaaaaa

Starting to finally, know what I want to do with life. Looking forward to each day everyday.


OracleCam

Going alright, can't complain. But still feels like it's still 2020


AloofusDoofus

I'm feeling the calm before the storm.


DaveLesh

It's only just begun, I'll leave it at that.

My first (it looks like) good year since 2015. Thanks for asking :)


Faulkal

Well, still in massive debt


[deleted]

Got fired from my job on dec. 31st so there’s that


WaffleBlues

I got fired on Monday - it was shocking, horrible and humiliating.  It has been one of the worst weeks of my life. Here is to hoping we both find ourselves in better places and a year from now this is all behind us.


Best-Neighborhood784

My dads need surgery for his eyes, or else he'll go blind in a few years. Overall it's not doing so well.


Salt_Departure7614

seems like am going to spend this whole year on the couch


mcenteej95

My nuts hurt.


EmotionalValue8

It's fine, there's nothing too unusual happening, didn't set any goals for myself, so it's all going in some kind of unknown direction


Lost_illusion423

It kinda feels like the years aren't getting more if that makes any sense?


ParticularVisit3589

👌 


mojavewanderer1999

Not too bad overall. I’m working towards some positive career moves that are gonna be a big boost for me, financially and mentally. Also just having the time of my life with my new little family!


Peter_Falcon

wet and miserable, no work, recession has been made official on the other hand, spring is around the corner and it's time to get into the garden, i'm making a pair of gates today to add to a fence to contain my new rescue terrier so she can be out there with me

Not as great as I thought it would be. Just the same as 2023 and 2022 so far.


RailtoReqiuem

I just got Covid 19 again! Otherwise, pretty alright, medium I guess. Nothing special


The68Guns

We're in that stretch until April where everything is grey and kinda dead. Good old New England. Still adjusting to being empty nesters (I hate the term, but there's no other like it). I miss my son like hell, but he's doing really well.


Gold-Opportunity-295

Shit


Nirvana1975

Great! Getting my shit together after a successful surgery and walking a lot more to shed some weight. Really watching my diet, ditching sodas and carbonated waters. Also reduced my carb intake. Looking at joining a gym soon.


flooreadtheyll

Stuck in 2019. Can't get out.


Inocain

Just stay there, it was better then.


Frequent_Yellow636

I feel like my life is finally turning around after 2 years of hell, and I can enjoy things again!


DaniGeek

I have an almost 3 year old who keeps waking up at 4 am since the beginning of the year. Lately he's been better and waking up at 6:30, but he doesn't want to nap. And trying to get him to go back to sleep has been challenging. So yeah this year has been pretty exhausting.


Coygon

Not great. My mother's health is on the decline in multiple ways, and my job site is closing. I'll still be employed - I work for a different company, I'm just located here - but I really liked it here. Working elsewhere will be guaranteed worse in at least one way 


baddimagane

A blur, we at the end of Feb already?!


Kronoxis1

I raised my credit score so there's that.


[deleted]

Not that eventful


archerfire88

A big meh, honestly 2023 was terrible, 2024 looks like 2023 part2 for the moment


eyebrowshampoo

Well, right now I'm on a tropical island in Belize at the tail end of a very long awaited vacation. So atm it's incredible. Once we get home, the reality of 2024 will come crashing back though. So far it hasn't been that bad, but my election year anxiety is beyond sky high and is only going to get worse.

Pretty good! Last year was awful for me, but I did find the education and the right school for me. And I'm starting this year which really gives me something to look forward to! I also have this really great part-time job and they gave me a raise without me ever mentioning anything! I also asked my crush out on a date...


Whitealroker1

Got a raise at work which caused my credit score to go up. Which caused me to get some new credit cards.  Help.


Alchemister5

Awful. The job market is shit.

maddskillz18247

Getting married to my best friend of 5 years next month! Just for our license a few days ago


pureonix

Its my birthday today. Got a cost of increase raise at the beginning of the year. Wife got a raise also. My son while high functioning, he is making more strides in growth in his social/emotion development while soon to turn 5 in the summer. So good.


Kleatus421

Suckin snoo balls, cause it's cold outside


robotman2009

Things are going well. I still have a high paying job, I own my house, my wife just graduated and starts a job Monday. Things are pretty great. Oh and the weather is unusually warm which has me chummy. 


That_Weird_Girl_107

It's been. I'm finally moving in with my boyfriend and we are currently remodeling his home to have more space. I won my first case as a tax rep and got personal congrats from the partners at my firm. Finally bought a new car. My FIRST new car! But also... My really good friend and the woman who helped me get out of a very dangerous relationship years ago lost her battle with cancer. My mom had her hands fused and all her teeth pulled, and needs more care now. My other really good friend had a bad med reaction that left her in a mental institution. So IDK. It's a year.


R3s0lv3T3am

Burned out with my current team. Just want to find another place to go. Teammate so hateful and disrespect, many time fucked up the system but boss still OK with that.


klein11je

Great! Managed to find a new job after getting fired late 2023. I fell in love for the first time and I'm in good health.


jadeismybitch

Off to a good start. Got a great bonus from work for last year, so paid vacation to Maldives with my gf. We just got back it was as good as expected


DavidinCT

Same as 2023.... crappy....accept even worse as the economy has gone to shit (no matter what the news says), everything costs more, food costs like 30-40% more than BB or BC.... So, it's just as bad as 2023 but, I have less money now.....


Jhon_doe_smokes

It’s okay. Just tired of working.

Lost my home of 18 years so there's that. And we struggle hard to find something new. 🥲

Was in a car accident yesterday and write off my car lmao


kakashim0t0

Weird in a good way I guess. I’m at the place in my life wear I’m working towards my goal but in the middle of it and everything I do is just a slow climb towards it. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like I’m making progress but I just gotta trust the process I guess


mrg1957

It's fantastic for a few weeks. Now my wife decided that she needs to run our investments. For the record, I worked in financial services for 30 years. My wife has zero experience and is highly emotional. Her notion of management is that whatever happened last week should be changed tomorrow.
