On a scale of 1 to 10 how was 2013 for you personally? And how was it for the world, in your opinion? I'd say for me personally it was about a 6. Nothing to write home about, but not a grim struggle either. Not very dramatic. Hoping to pick things up in the right direction for 2014.
struggling. for me. I got burglarized. I got threatened by a self proclaim gang leader who followed me to supermarket where I had to yell at him for the public to notice. I'm just lucky that I'm not in prison. at one point, I was planning on pushing him into traffic so a car could hit him and then beating him afterwards but I decided to get up and walk into the supermarket to yell at him. Tough in Houston.
^^^that sucks Archangel. Sorry you had to deal with all that this year. I wish you a very blessed 2014 :freehug: For me: Definitely a seven. I might not have surged in every area, but I'm proud of what I did accomplish. I hope for bigger and better in 2014. Hopefully pay off a few things while I accrue more student loan debt! All worth it in the end though. Note: I lol'd at 2
10 Moved into a 3 story house, purchased a 10 year old car and passed the test so I can open a board and care. I am excited about 2014!
This has been one of the most difficult years of my life, but I know many people have suffered more than I. I am wrapping up the year by tying up loose ends. About to sell my home and start the new year as an independent person. Trying to recognize toxic relationships and steer clear of them. I am both scared and excited to begin a new chapter in my life. I am very grateful to my family and friends, including a couple of new ones I've made on this site, who have helped me through a tough time. I guess I will count my blessings and move on. I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!!!
It's especially hard to do during tough times, but those are the exact times when we need to appreciate what we have and be diligent in avoiding the stress/worry of what we don't have. Easier said than done, for sure. Glad to see you're excited about this new chapter in your life. I wish you a great 2014.
It definitely hasn't been easy. Furloughed, money still tight since ive been struggling for a few yrs now on my own...but I am still making it and have everything I need to take care of my kids. Have seen better times, but have also experienced much worse circumstances. divorce was also finalized in 2013... I met the love of my life...sounds so crazy that I am saying this...i don't say things like that...but have had a wonderful ride thus far and look forward to bigger and better things in 2014. Have a business plan to put together, culinary school I want to pursue, and I'm getting my shit together so I will have more to offer in the future. I'm purging the dead weight in my life, regardless the hurt feelings. Good things to follow.
5, I moved out (lived with my family before), and for the first time living on my own,in a different part of the country. My reasons for moving were mostly the relationship I was in and this job program I wanted to be in. Now the relationship is broken and I am losing the job towards end of january,but I am looking for a new place and job in this area. Since I took such a big step with the relocation,I don't wanna go back and give up.
