Unfortunately the good news I have is minimal compared to the bad news. This is not going to be my most positive answer because the year of 2024 hasn’t been a very good one for me and my family. My mother was sick for a while and has been in and out of the hospital this year despite beating cancer. This caused me to spend a good part of the year worrying about my mother because we are close and have a good relationship and she is perhaps the most important person in my life. Thankfully she is ok despite some pain she has as a result of her recovery. Now a couple of good things that have happened this year include me acquiring a presence in the online community where I review movies, (this will resume eventually as I have decided to take a short break from reviewing them due to lack of time to watch anything outside of the theatre recently.) However, as I have said many times since this occurred, I could live on this site and I never used to care about the internet but now it’s my favourite thing. The best thing that has happened to me this year is that I have become an uncle. On April 25 2024, my first nephew named Jacob was born but he does not live here so I have yet to meet him in person. Having said that, I remember in the weeks leading up to his birth, I went crazy buying him things to help my brother out as well as writing him little notes which are meant to instill positive values about how life works and what he should look forward to, ETC.
However, one thing I’m getting a little discouraged over is the fact that I don’t yet have a girlfriend even though my desire to find one still keeps going back and forth between “yes I do want one,” and “no I do not want one.” This usually depends on my frame of mind. On one hand, I believe I should have one when I realize that most of my problems during my teenage years could have been linked to a hormonal imbalance of sorts. However, when I start to realize all of the stress I had to deal with, (more specifically my first date with the one I had for five months,) I start to question whether having another one is really necessary or if my life is good enough the way it is.
Needless to say, this year has been full of ups and downs for me but hopefully in the year 2025, things will be much better for me. Having said that, I don’t think it was all bad but as the saying goes, there’s always room for improvement.
