There's always something about January first which feels like turning over a fresh page. And even though I know it's just another day, I do love that magical feeling where it seems like anything is possible, no matter how rough or how much a failure the last year has been. And 2020 has been... a lot. It actually hasn't been that bad for me personally, aside from a lot of stress and anxiety over the state of the world. I miss seeing my family and friends, and being stuck in the house so much has been tough. But we are privileged enough to be able to stay home, and we are financially secure, and we haven't been sick, and I haven't lost anyone I love. By 2020 standards, I feel like that's about as good as I can reasonably expect, and friends, I will gladly take it. I know that so many others have had it so much worse, and I am beyond grateful that other than anxiety and isolation, I haven't been much affected.

I've even managed to get some writing done, which I genuinely wasn't expecting to happen this year.

Here we are (mostly) at the start of another new year. I'd intended to do this closer to the first of the month, but the last couple of months have been a bit of a roller coaster for me and emotionally I'm pretty much running on fumes by this point. But, we're still in January which is still the beginning of the year, so for now that's going to have to be enough.

Current Mood: optimistic

Here we are again at the start of another new year, a day late and a dollar short with this post, but isn't that just in keeping with the epic clusterfuck that was 2017? Unlike 2016, which was a tough year globally but not personally, and unlike 2015, which was a tough year personally but not globally... 2017 managed to be terrible all the way around. It was a year of big changes and bigger disappointments, with just enough good mixed in to keep me putting one foot in front of the other.

Here we are again at the start of another new year, and for once I'm really struggling to feel optimistic about it. 2015 was fuck-awful for me, and one year ago today I said, with my rose-colored glasses firmly upon my face, "2016 is going to be a good year."

Yeah, I know.

It really wasn't all that bad for me personally, despite the raging crapfest that's still ongoing globally. Mostly 2016 was a year of stagnancy--nothing really went wrong, but nothing really changed either. Which, after the turmoil of 2015, I'm certainly not complaining about. Still, 2017 is going to be a year of big changes and I'm really looking forward to it in that regard. Mr FTS is finishing up his degree this summer, knock on wood, and we'll be moving out of state shortly thereafter. He'll be starting a new job, I'll be starting a new job, and then is going to come the whole lengthy ordeal of settling in and building new routines and making new friends (or settling back into old friendships, if we end up moving back to PA) and... it's going to be a lot. I'm someone who doesn't deal well with change, but I know that I'll be much happier after it happens, so. I think it'll be okay.
