Omg the year ends tomorrow!
And thus, I'm doing the semi traditional end of the year post, which will be badly tagged and impossible to find later, as per usual :P
So, you know that post that circulated recently about how 2019 was at least two or three years at once? Yeah, I feel that.
Part of it is just that I'm getting older and one year seems like a way shorter time than it did a few years ago, I guess but another part is that it feels like a lot of things happened?
My great uncle died in early January, I published a 98k fic, there were tons of changes at work, some of which I was pretty intensely involved with, I visited @trovia (and met @formerlyknownas-delight and @rowan-berry ) for the first time which was great, I had to participate in two different students shows in less than six months, two of my friends had babies, and I spent time...er...around my father for the first time since I told him I didn't see the point of us talking if he wasn't going to make an effort with using my correct name and pronouns.
(Also spent my yearly day with @caloub , which was great but, as ever, far too short.)
And all of that without counting the shows I marathoned on the side (not even gonna pretend to cough around Will & Grace)!
It feels strange because on the one hand my life is still pretty much the same but on the other hand I feel like I've done a lot of growing, internally (thanks, classes with kids!) and it's almost hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's over already xD
Overall I feel pretty okay about this year, I think? Sure I lost someone and that was hard but I have the comfort of knowing he most likely didn't suffer, and as for the rest...well, there's been a lot of positive, really, even if it wasn't always the easiest thing to see or the thing I talk most about.
I hope in 2020 I'll manage to finally get started on my big changes, and provide a good home to the kitten I'm hoping to adopt. I also hope all of you pals will have as good a year as possible, and that you will be able to enter and leave it with a sense, if not of joy (because that's a pretty elusive goal) then at least with more Inner Peace (tm) than you felt this year.
Hugs and love to you all :)
