I have so much to be thankful for. 2018 wasn’t a particularly great year, I made lots of fuck ups, completely pushed away many people who were important to me, basically restarted my social life from scratch. But I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the friends I made this year.
Also my family. I have gone out more times this year with my family than really any other reason. Went out with dad and sibs and cousins for my birthday, for his birthday, a couple times just bc. Last week we went to dad’s new apartment and I cooked them all fettuccini w my mushroom sauce and boi was it delicious. New Year’s Eve, my cousin messaged me saying come to theirs and I did. I met my sister’s boyfriend, had some shrooms, some mdma, got really drunk, but I really fucking enjoyed myself which is amazing because I’d planned to end it. I had absolutely no desire to be in 2019 but there’s nothing I can do about that when I’m singing and jumping about and laughing with my family. They did more than take my mind off of things, they made me happy that I existed, and for that I’m so fucking thankful.
Imessaged some friends on New Years reminding them I love them and they’re important to me, and the love I got back really warmed my heart.
I’m glad 2018 is over, but if I could I wouldn’t change a thing.
My resolutions for this year are:
- Keep friendships simple
- Don’t be abusive to the people around me
- Let my friends know I love them
I think if I can manage to do all that consistently, then I’ll be a much better person by the end of the year than I am now, and than I was this time last year.
PS. I’ve started lessons with the City of Melbourne Highland Pipe Band, and I’m learning how to play the chanter. Hopefully by the end of 2020 I’ll have the full bagpipes.
Wishing you all the best for this year ♥️
