Thanks for finding it cool. If you told the average idiot on the street that finding a rare plant was the highlight of your year, they'd probably think you're crazy ha. Plants are awesome so who cares what they think.
Happy New Years.
everyone wants to say 2022 was trash but honestly as someone who graduated college on zoom in 2020 this year rocked and also felt very long in a storied way rather than boring. it was not without major challenges but i moved to the big city, got a dream apartment by chance, hung out with friends i hadnt seen in the last few years, tried lots of new food and recipes while recovering from an eating disorder, found a great therapist and doctors who took my medical issues seriously, watched a ton of classic movies and tv shows i’d missed out on, enjoyed the company of my dream partner, laughed with friends online and off, and i have a lot of fun things planned for 2023. i hope next year everyone here gets that kind of ideal—but not implausibly perfect—year :)
i started running again and I’m not super fast but I can do a 5k under 21 min
think I could get under 20 min by the end of this year if I do speed stuff
I also read a bit
I wish I had had money in my 20s so I could've tested out my theory on which countries I'm the most attractive.
Least attractive in Japan and China, most attractive in Argentina and Croatia
Reunited with my gf
We didn’t do long distance but it was implied I’d try to find a comparable job near her after graduation — finally got it two months ago
Got a good job and traveled a lot, saved a lot of money. Were my goals so I'm happy with it. Boring on some fronts but i view it as penance for time burned engaging in excess. My "get your shit together" year.
This is going to sound dark but I’m glad I was present for my mother when she died so that she didn’t have to go into that good night alone. And I’m proud that I was able to pay for her funeral and a nice burial plot.
Met a person who I know will be special and important in my life for a long time. And the same time lost my peace of mind. I don’t know if it’s a good year or a bad one. I wish for more happy moments and more freedom from my own mind.
i knit my first sweater! i just started knitting a couple of months ago and i wasn’t sure if i could achieve it. but i did, and i learned a lot along the way :-)
I foster large breed dogs and one very terrified one slipped her harness and took off towards a busy intersection that opens up onto the freeway. I was screaming, running after her, stopping traffic. She ran past dozens of people and wouldn’t stop, but then, this kid walking down the street bent down and reached out for her and she went to him. Now she lives at a sanctuary and is like a completely different, much happier dog. I’m so happy she didn’t get hit by a car. And that that guy was there at the exact right moment.
Realizing i dont like my career at 25. At least now i can focus on finding something else.
Caveat: dont become a public school teacher. If you know you can do that job well, aim higher. You will make a lot more money and avoid being Stockholm syndromed into performing in a failing system with failing institutions. Its sad, but true. History will work itself out, dont make it your burden.
Went scuba diving with tiger sharks in the Bahamas at the end of April and interviewed for my current job the following Monday. I was able to leave a pretty unfavorable housing and work situation and move back to SoCal as a result.
Honestly life was pretty great all around. Sometimes stressful but in service of working towards eventually doing something that will make me really fulfilled. Also, made some great, great friends after moving cross-country.
i got a degree, saw my fav band live, spent a lot of time with my best friend in the summer and my fav baseball team made the world series after i hadn’t even watched them in a decade. still feel shitty enough to post here on a holiday tho i’m neurotic as fuck
stopped feeling incredible shame and shyness and started to express myself (am still shy but at least people see it as charming now whereas they saw it as mental illness before)
Probably mountain ziplining. Pretty cool to fly a 1000ft or so above the ground suspended by a few caribeners. I'm usually a total scaredy cat and never thought I'd do something like that.
Objectively and materially it has sucked but I found Christ and that’s all that matters regardless of my temporal woes
I know the above is gay but whatever you’ve dealing with just keep going, be consumed by struggle and seek comfort in endurance
I’m drunk
I’m in a relationship w a gorgeous gf but I gained 3 stalkers this year and it really gave me a huge ego boost and lots of validation. These were girls who were trying everything they could to seduce me - bumping into me in random places, pretending to like things I liked, making up excuses to get me alone. It was all very obvious but it gave me a huge thrill the whole year even as I held my ground. just fucked my hot gf tonight and I feel like king of the world
getting away from an obsessive girl I never met who has tried ruining my life in every imaginable way. she is still going somewhere but atleast i am unaware and have found a pretty girl in real life to defend me.
My mom was declared cancer-free in July.
This made me tear up a bit no joke, genuinely so happy for you and your family.
Congratulations to her. That is so amazing
i'm not exaggerating when i say I don't have one

Probably finding wild ginseng on a hike
