Reverse psychology is my last hope
It will be the best year of the rest of my life
2024 will definitely be a year
A big part of quality of life is trying to make it good.
The stoics taught that you should focus on what you can control, and that still holds true. I can’t fix the world, I can try, but I can focus on searching for joy in my life.
So for 2024 don’t let the doomers keep you down, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first and try to find the things that will make you happier. Go camping, try a hobby, ask for a promotion you’ve been after.
Dont go full “hakuna matata”, deal with the important stuff you need to, but don’t forget about yourself.
2026 is gonna be my year
You haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because you’re thinking life will be depressing from here on out and nothing will improve.
I haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because it’s always “the year” for me regardless of what I say or don’t say.
We are not the same.
Of course it depends what you do with your year. Move up the ladder, or move to a better place or changing your hobbies or whatever can all make it a better year. Politically - it’s gonna be a crapfest of a shitshow. No two ways about that.
I feel like the last properly good year, at least for me, was 2012. Everything has just been a slow fumbling collapse since then.
Things get better for me every year. And I’m actually a doomer too lol
The New Year is always going to the best … but every time we get there, we just end up wishing for the next New Year.
Which means wishing for the New Year is a phenomenal that we can never achieve.
It’s always a wish that can never be fulfilled.
I think little orphan Annie has a song about this.
She was little … she wasn’t an orphan … and her name wasn’t Annie

Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, everybody
2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)
Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.
Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don’t hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.
There’s still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.
It’s good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)
Congrats on both!
Not gonna lie, same here. Actually, not just 2023 but the last 3 years since covid hit. My second daughter was born, bought my first home, got a promotion, started working from home, went on strike and got a decent raise. But everything everywhere else is getting worse it seems.
I wish people could have what I’m lucky enough to have. Instead they’re too busy fighting and being angry while the ruling class pulls the strings and destroys the planet. Why can’t everyone just work together to make things better for all? I fucking hate society.
Aww congrats dude :)
That’s awesome!
Did your promotion exceed inflation by a nice margin?
It really did! It’s a decent boost to my savings for sure
This meme I made early last year is relevant.
2024 will finally be the year of Linux desktop
Well, we hit 3% of market share in 2023, so this was definitely one of the years of the Linux desktop.
2024 could be
