I have found another Q&A prompt! Boy, this blogging thing is so much easier when the thinking is done for you.

This prompt is Throwback Thursday, and is brought to us by Maggie.


Tell me what you loved about 2022.

Nothing really stands out. Sitting here pondering it, then only good thing I can think of that happened to me was getting promoted at work. That happened in January, so it doesn’t even feel like it happened this year, but I guess it barely made the cut.

Do you have regrets?

That’s my secret, cap. I’ll always have regrets.

What did you lose?

A couple of relationships and some weight.

What did you gain?

The weight I lost. I need to get better at this hide-and-seek shit.

What was your greatest accomplishment?

I don’t know. Getting promoted? Keeping C alive? Surviving COVID? Getting back in to see a psychiatrist?

How was your balance between happiness and sadness?

Balance? There’s no balance. Sadness wins. It always wins. And I don’t get it. I have a lot of good things in my life, but I can’t fucking see them through all the bullshit. Why does my mind always focus on the negative?

And lastly, what are you happy to leave behind, and what do you look forward to?

Nothing, really. Honestly, except for the date, nothing really changes once the giant LED monstrosity reaches the bottom of Time Square. I’ll still go to work. I’ll still have bills to pay. I’ll still be depressed. I’ll still be fat. I’ll still be hilarious and sarcastic as fuck. I’ll still blast rock music from my waterproof Bluetooth speaker when taking showers and simultaneously put on a concert for any spiders in my bathroom to enjoy (or not). New Year’s Day is just that…a day. Like any other. It has 24 hours just like the other 364 days.

Anything more you want to add?

Uhhhhh….not that I can think of. I don’t think anything happened in 2022 that I haven’t already written about.


Well, that kinda turned into a little rant, didn’t it? Maybe 2023 will bring me a more refreshing outlook.
