    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 :)

      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.
