Social Half year check in

where did half the year go
how the fuck did my birthday already come and go
why the fuck am i 16 already
WHAT HAPPENED
 
I'm in my mid-30s and I've been in a comfortable/happy situation for a while now, so life is all about maintaining a sustainable routine and looking after the long-term physical/mental/financial health of myself and those who I care about. Adulthood is never easy, but I've got my shit together and my problems are entirely first world. If you overthink things, there's always the danger of wondering "is this it?", but I'm broadly content to enjoy what I enjoy and just keep calm and carry on.

That’s a good mindset trying to get there as well
 
I couldn't downright quit red bull and caffeine entirely even after 6 months but I did manage to limit it to 100mg per day which is slightly more than a cup of standard black coffee or 300ml or red bull sugar free.

I also switched to a stim-free preworkout + a serving of beta alanine and creatine to substitute the standard preworkout I've been using whilst hitting the gym.

How you feeling so far this year? Are you accomplishing your goals? Picked up new hobbies? I’d love to hear them

Every year since 2020 I’ve tried to have some kind theme to strive for, more or less. First it was “transitions” (more specifically, my transition into college & adulting), followed by “improvements” (regarding things I normally struggle with), and then 2022’s main goal was just to get back in a better mindset because 2021 really was just that awful compared to any year before or since.

Originally, 2023’s theme was going to be about friendship building in its various guises. Whether that meant with a quote “actual” relationship for the first time or just meeting new friends at school or work, that was for fate to decide. So far, I haven’t really been making much progress with the relationship part, so much so I even made a thread about that somewhat recently. In any case, I’ve heard and seen far too much negativity around the relationship scene to actually want to pursue one of my own, although I will say that my brother’s successful relationship going the distance this year has given me some hope.

That’s fire bro I hope things continue to go well. I also hope your 2023 close out great.
 
This year, to my surprise, has been one of the greatest for me. Everything between my family being better, my new career as a teacher going well, catching up with old irl friends has been so good. I’m also happy with my growth as a person. I’m much calmer and composed than I used to be, as well as confident. This year has been a blast thus far.
 
Thats awesome Wildfiree
I’m new here but I wanna share my 2025 so far too lol
This year started in the worst way (tore my ACL and MCL in december), so I had more free time without having to train 8 times a week and finally decided to get back to competitive Pokémon. It was a big injury but we must always smile and go forward, we can always prove things to be blessings in disguise
I’ve always kept a positive attitude, thankfully my rehab is going extremely well and I even competed with a rickety knee in the italian championships haha. I love playing Pokemon and especially the friends I made and I’m making playing it. University is good, friends are good, family is good, hobbies are good, single again tho haha
Blessed to enjoy life, can’t wait to get back in top shape and finally get better in DPP
