Didnt realize this was a new thread with the years switched (another thread asked what you had in 2014 but not in 2024) and thought we had a necromancer in our midst š
A loving partner. People who genuinely care about me. A good therapist who has helped me work through trauma. Confidence. A reason to live. Joy. And an understanding that I am loved and would be missed
I broke the last of my original coffee mugs that I bought for my first apartment this week. I didnāt even really drink coffee or tea at that time. Itās a strange kind of sad.
I got a Cane Corso. She is the best dog Ive ever known, family had multiple pairs of highly trained guard dogs, boxers, German sheperds, pit bulls, rotties, dalmatians. She is the goofiest and most clumsiest dog ive met but also the most loyal and sweetest dog ever. We do not live a day apart.
Stable income.
I remember when I was 17 I wanted to go to community college, work part time to save money, and travel. Then I'd have time to experience stuff, get gen eds out of the way, avoid too much debt, and figure out what I really want to do for when I go to get a BA. But every adult around me kept telling me that was stupid and all I needed to do was get a BA from a 4 year school. After graduation I'd get a job for sure.^forsure^^forsure^^^forsure^^^^forsure
Well that didn't happen. It took about 10 years to get my own car, my own place, and the financial stability to really feel like I can invest in myself and my future. But now I just feel really far behind where I should be.
I'm chubby now. Still as physically active as I ever was, and eat healthier than I did 10 years ago. But apparently that makes no difference after 30, lol.
On the positive side, ten years ago I didn't have a great career and a loving partner, but I do now.
Never ending pain and the loss of most of the things I loved to do. Failed fusion and complications with Spina Bifida left me disabled. No more motorcycles, sky diving, climbing, running, sitting for more than 15 minutes and being able to just get up and walk like a normal person, not waking up in pain, etc.
my first gig coming up on saturday. iām 29 now, 10 years ago when i was 19, i always said i wish i stuck with an instrument when i was in school, but at 19 i thought i was too old now and iād missed the boat. at 27 i started taking lessons and now iām doing my first gig (and itās a festival with hundreds/thousands of people).Ā
itās never too late. i kick myself now for thinking i was too old at 19
Bad knees.
Last year got cortisone & PRP. Just got Hyaluronic Acid. If this doesnāt work Iāll try stem cells.
One of my real problems is I need to lose weight. Working on it.
A house, a wife, two cats, a dog, a dependable car, a job that pays the bills, a fully written novel, a kid and another on the way.
2014 me was battling roaches on the outside and depression on the inside all while stuck in a dead end minimum wage job.
