    Welcome! If you are looking for somewhere to chat casually about anything, you've come to the right place. The last dcc we made together in off-topic has been sleeping since 2024, so instead of waking it up from it's peaceful rest, I made us a new lair for our talks.

    How is your 2025 so far? I have been away awhile due to some illness in my family, but things are looking much better now. Don't worry. Let me pass someone else the mic.
     
    For me it's not particularly different from last year, so far. I did fill out an application to join one of our political parties. But I'll probably stick to being just a passive member at least for the time being. It's mostly for the donation part as they don't take money from companies/corporations.
     
    It's been a rough start to 2025 for me. I'm trying new things, like joining a dance class and traveling more often. But it's impossible to relax these days, for me at least.

    But hey, Happy March, right? It's finally gonna get warmer. shootmenowforstartingweathertalklmao
     
    I failed my driving test twice. (parking in reverse is painful).

    I'm still in high spirits but I was hoping to have my license earlier in the year. There's a wait period between test failures.
     
    I don't want to keep quoting Zeostar's posts and responding with the same emote, so I'll just say "same." Failed my driving test because I couldn't back up. Took me three times to pass my test. And I never backed up into a parking place again.

    2025, so far, is the year of keeping on track to accomplish something. Life keeps throwing speed bumps at me, but at this point, I'm used to recovering from them. It just gets a little frustrating to be slowed down when I'm feeling some progress. But it's just a matter of reminding myself where the past progress is.

    So looking forward to better weather. I really miss being able to walk my dog without the possibility of slipping on ice.
     
    Mine has been... okayish? It's hard to explain. There were a few things that occurred that had me high on anxiety, but it's gotten sorted out now. I also found out that my Hero's Journal I ordered was finally sorted out and coming tomorrow. For some reason, it was supposed to come on the 28th, but it hit a snag on Alaska for some odd reason. I emailed the company for the journal, and I think they sorted it out because it's here in Maine now. :D
     
    2025 just threw a curveball at me. Just yesterday I found out that my job is laying off some people, and that includes myself. D: I'm still in shock to where I told my boss I needed some time to process the news before I gather my things and return equipment. The good thing is that my job will continue to pay me until the end of the month, and that's the scary part. With the current job economy right now, it's like I'm pushed into uncertain territory.

    *takes a deep breath*
    *thinks positive thoughts*
     
    2025 has been a bit turbulent so far
    Getting slowly annoyed at work with the direction its headed so I kinda wanna leave, but also making attempts to start moving out so maybe waiting till I get a place, then look for new opportunities

    On the other hand I am still baffled to be in a relationship and that it still is going on (partner still hasn't run away screaming I must be doing something good then)
     
    2025 has been... A handful for me so far. My father passed right before Christmas, and since November it's been busy or steady at work with all the hours I've gotten, so I haven't had a lot of time to actually sit down and take some personal time to unwind until now. Gonna take a week off and just relax, do things I want to do.
     
    Yeah, that's exactly what my therapist said today! Yeah, 2025 just sucks for the most of us, but good days are coming. We just have to be a little more patient.

    Earlier today I did some shopping, like buying new plants for my little patio garden because the days are getting nicer now. Also tomatoes.
     
    There's a silver lining to a lot that's occurred in 2025 on my end.

    Not only does it seem to be flying by for me (I find it hard to fathom it's already March), but so much has taken place. It's not as eventful or are exciting as that of others I've seen, but nonetheless I will grab this year into my own hands and mold it into something better. I'm already trying to actively make changes and take the steps to do so.

    It's going good so far. It's a long road ahead. But I'm never by myself.

    I found a coffee I enjoy. So at least I'll go through 2025 siping on good coffee versus lack thereof. Woo.
     
    2025 has been.... Nothing. I write my various stuff, draw my various stuff, go to a library and.... Nothing.

    That's how it goes.

    Nothing.
     
    2025 hasn't felt like much for me yet, either. i'm still exploring the idea of wanting to become a teacher full time, specifically working with kids that have special needs.

    i will likely have a job this summer working at a camp, which is a plus compared to last year from when i didn't work and dug 100% into savings to make ends meet

    That's something I've always wanted to do... work with kids who have special needs. Even if it's not a teaching job either. I really just want the chance to be a role model to them and let them know that things will get better over time etc. Sadly, I can't even hold down a simple job due to my own difficulties and stuff. ;o; That's why I'm on disability income.
     
    2025 is very different for me, and most of the regular members are aware of my absence from the forum for quite long time. Since I got admission into Masters course, my free time got pretty limited, and increased workload had forced me to stay away from the forum. Before joining, I used to log into the forum at 7 AM or so, and then again at 3 PM, and finally at 9 PM. But now my classes start from 8:30 AM, and end at 5PM evening. Therefore, not much time in my hand. During the weekends, we are either given assignments, or I try to make my notes, because my running notes looks terrible.

    All these struggles are nice, but then sometimes my mood gets damaged as well, and that's totally normal, I suppose. I also met many new people from different places, thanks to staying at the hostel of our Institution.


    Hopefully all these hardships turns out worth and help me progress in my life ahead. And also I hope that I will again get as active as I used to be 5-6 months ago here!
     
    2025 has been going well for me so far, I've been keeping up with my New Years resolutions pretty well; and I've finally started noticing improvements in my Spanish / drawing skills. World events are definitely making me nervous though, especially the cuts to higher education in the US.
