I for one can't wait for the new decade to come.
For those who have known me personally, the last two years have been what I consider the lowest point of my life emotionally and mentally. Beginning in 2018, a list of things that happened to my personal life:
Feb-March 2018: Laid up with mystery illness. Throwing up nearly daily, unable to work, had to take a sabbatical to heal up.
August 2018: I lost the job I loved unceremoniously, after upper management released me because my older brother was an assistant manager there. They had known this for two years and still released me.
November, Day Before Thanksgiving, 2018: My dad had a stroke early in the morning. I thank goodness that my mother, an EMT, and my younger brother saw the signs and got him to the hospital... it saved his life and his legs, as he has full motion to this day, luckily. He's now a diabetic, however. He's a strong man and never once complained about anything to happen to him.
Christmas 2018: The fiance I loved for four years left me for another man. I've talked about it enough but it still stings.
May 2019: I've moved approximately four times in between now and December. Tired of it all.
September 2019: I find out that the processing factory my dad worked at for nearly 40 years will be closing in April 2020. He's old enough to retire, but the news is shocking for me and many other folks who need this plant to maintain their living. Once it closes, my home town is going to rot from the inside out.
November 2019: I find out the uncle I view as a second father has cancer of the lungs and liver. He would pass away a month later.
So yeah. I'm looking forward to the new decade to see what positivity can bring into my personal life. There's been shades of positivity this year, with a great new job, a YT channel to distract myself, the podcast, and much more. I want to see what 2020 brings to me.
