So following on from 2021, 2022 was rather shit. While there were moments of fun, it seems that most if not all of them were overshadowed by drama, illness, accidents and general fuckery. At times, I thought I was losing my career, my family and my mental health. I can only thank my wifey, my friends, my colleagues and my Not-my-dogs for keeping afloat when it felt I was sinking. I wish I could believe that 2023 will be better, but my general cynicism just hopes it won’t be more of the same, if not worse.
Your 2022 sounds very similar to mine – sending big hugs and “you are not alone” vibes through the ether. Something’s got to give for me as I can’t handle another year like the last 3. I’m making some changes to try and ensure that 2023 is better, of course knowing a lot is not in my control. Like you I’m a cynic, but I’m also trying to be a bit more optimistic.
I hope you do see improvement this year, and not just a little. It’s time for something to start going right.
