2024 was impossibly hard for me.
Added 2024-12-17 23:06:13 +0000 UTCI've lost friends. I've lost loves I thought I'd never lose. I'm sure this year was just as difficult for you. I'm sorry for all the pain. I'd like to offer some light.
Sometimes I can get sad about all the things I have lost. But I'd like to offer a new perspective. After all, how we see the world shapes our reality, right?
My heart finds peace in knowing that what is truly meant for me will always find its way, and what passes me by was never mine to hold.
If it's out of your hands, it deserves freedom from your mind, too.
I encourage you to let go of the things you cannot control any longer and to shift focus on what you can. You are more capable than you think, I promise.
If we can find the courage to believe that we are just where we are supposed to be, then I believe we can find peace where we are.
Much love,

2025-03-03 10:10:10 +0000 UTC2024 was pretty hard. Didn’t think I’d have to start dealing with dead friends this early in life, at least aside from crazy outliers. I guess that’s part of sobriety. The people you know will relapse, it’s bound to happen to some of them. And an overdose is bound to happen to a few of those ones. It never gets easier

My dad used to say "if it were easy, everyone would do it." I've switched jobs a couple times over the past few years, and it feels like I'm getting closer to where I want to be. As for people, I still have no clue. I always try my best to be kind, but some people are rotten to the core. I'll move on with my life, and they can continue to be miserable.

2024-12-18 17:24:02 +0000 UTCI know it will be! I've loved the reframing that in life, there is no such thing as heartbreak! Only lessons :) Kinda hard to remember all the time, but an interesting idea nonetheless!

2024-12-18 02:03:55 +0000 UTCYeah i know what that's like, not a good feeling at all. Hopefully 2025 is better for all of us and hope your doing ok. But I guess we can't lose if we just keep getting back up right.

2024-12-18 01:55:41 +0000 UTCI’m someone who’s never been able to put my emotions into words. I still don’t know what to say about this year but all we can really do right now is try to move on towards hopefully a better tomorrow. I hope whoever reads this has a better 2025!

2024-12-18 01:05:18 +0000 UTCThis year hasn’t been kind to me either, was brutal actually, I’ve lost friends, I’ve lost dreams and aspirations, my hope hit a really low point. I lost loves and bonds that I never thought would go away. But this year, pain was more of a teacher and I’ve grown so much from those experiences, my trust was betrayed, people let me behind, but I don’t cling to those moments any longer, I’ll cherish the faded feelings of that, with all my heart, because I was happy when it all happened. I’m freeing myself from the past, I’ll always recognise it but I won’t let it dictate my next steps. Life is not pointless, it’s nice to think you have a way out but that’s a fantasy because we all have it. Life it’s just life, you need the taste of losing so you can really appreciate the effort that takes to win. 🖤🖤

2024-12-17 23:29:52 +0000 UTCI feel ya there. 2024 was rough. For the last couple of years, my life moto has become: "It is what it is." As glum as some might think that is, I've come to view it in the simplest way where, ultimately, things are going to happen, and all you can do is adapt and overcome them. I try not to stress too hard on the things I can't control. People are gonna change, times are gonna get rough, but in the end, I'll get through it and I'll either be content where I am, or better off for it. I know it can be difficult, especially when it involves people you care about. When my last ex cheated on me a couple years ago, I had a massively hard time getting through it. And I think that's when that moto entered my life. I realized that it was a choice she made, and all the: "What if I..." was just driving me deeper down and getting me nowhere. I accepted that she made the decision, and now I had the opportunity to improve myself in other areas where my insecurities were telling me it was my fault. And so I did. I now look back on that time, times where my job goes in directions I'm not necessarily on board with, or when people in my life start to make questionable decisions. I'll always be there to give assistance, or to do my best, but in the end, no matter what happens as a result, it is what it is. At least I did what I could. Here's to a better 2025, because it sounds like we may all need it 🤗

2024-12-17 23:22:35 +0000 UTCI strongly believe in the need for “opposition in all things.” We need the bad so that we are able to enjoy the good. It can be difficult to recognize that in the moment though. Thanks for the insight, Felka. Always a joy to hear from you!

2024-12-17 23:18:43 +0000 UTCIt is very hard to let go sometimes. I’m struggling to do so myself. But I want to try my best to take your wise words to heart.
