Fucking fabulous

Connections with the people I care about have grown ever stronger. I've made it back out to the clubs and regularly get to attend fabulous events all over the North. Compared to the place I was in for the couple of prior years it's just fucking astounding. And I'm so grateful to the people that helped me get back to this place

Reasonably crap to be honest. Health has taken a kicking. The only good thing is the bungalow move but that's cost a LOT of money.

Absolutely shite at times, I reckon I've had some of my lowest days ever.

But I'm also in a place now I'd never thought I'd be able to get to on my own, so I'll take that as a positive.

Mostly good. Lost a bit of weight so feeling better in my own skin which was a priority for me. Other than that I’ve had a few short breaks away, chatted with some really nice people on here and finally took the plunge and bought myself a car I’d wanted for ages

I’ve had to walk away at a loss from a court case where someone I trusted stole from me.

Shit.

Lost a close family member, had a very serious medical issue, another family member nearly died and now has life-altering outcome, and work for one of us was incredibly stressful.

It's getting better, recently turned a corner and if all goes well it should be a lot better.

We won't look back on 2023 with any fondness.

Pretty good overall. I have a new job that pays well and I mostly enjoy.

I had my car written off (nobody was hurt), but I now have a car I love much more than the old one.

I have definitely had far worse years!

the abyss

It has had some of the worst moments of my life but also some of the best as well.

Right now the balance is there and I'm very lucky to have amazing people in my life that I'm so grateful for. I'm trying to focus on all the good in my life and making plans for things or places that I've always wanted to do. It's far to easy to be pulled down by darkness

It's been ok, definitely not bad but not very exciting either.

All my friends are and family are well, I've had no issues either. The highlights so far are going to a couple of music festivals and spending 3 days at the Old Trafford test match.

Hope it continues in the same way.

It's been a real assortment. Serious health scare. Ridiculous amount of hospital appointments. Cheated on and only found out when they laughingly told me I wasn't that much of a Sherlock. Ended a friendship when I realised it wasn't bringing me joy. Had a lot of abuse. Drama I could have done without. Fractured my ankle. Lost my glasses. Was made to feel like I wasn't good enough repeatedly. I've been intense. Tried to unpack lies, make sense of things. I've been short with people. Self focused on my hurt.

But then there's been so much joy in it.

Got membership to somewhere where in a million years I never thought I'd be accepted to. Started losing weight properly. Rediscovering my sexuality. My confidence. A forum thread led to me rekindling a friendship with someone who is very dear to me after we both admitted we missed each other a lot. Learnt to say fuck it. To say yes to adventures. Grew closer to my fiancé. To my friends. The people in my life? They mean the world to me. This year I've really seen how beautiful and brilliant they are. Their chaotic supportiveness. Stopped being so ashamed of my body and started enjoying it.

I've danced a lot. Laughed a lot. Cried a lot. Sent long voice notes of lust, excitement and sadness. Went hiking for the first time ever. Hugged people. Been told I'm loved even in the darker days. I'm starting to forgive people, it's a work in progress but I'm getting there. I finally met a chaotic squirrel and it was everything I thought it would be. More than.

I wouldn't change this year for anything. It hasn't always been the easiest but I've learnt so much about myself.

I've also learnt how to deepthroat a very big cock so yeah. It's not been too bad really.

Now there's a good question.

I split with a boyfriend. Lost two people I love, had a lot of car trouble, broke someone's heart and put on a stone in weight.

But I also nailed quitting smoking, had an awesome holiday with my smallies.

Enjoyed a long weekend in Cornwall alone. Bought a hamster. Set more boundaries and stuck to them. Reconnected with people. Got a choice I really wanted that benefits someone else and not me. Braved a group social despite what happened to make it hard for me to.

It could have been better and could have been a lot worse.

Not great. Stuck in a rut in life, mental health up and down.

BUT there have been up sides. I'm better off in some ways, I've met a couple of new friends and occasional lovers. I've watched good films, read good books, listened to good music. And in many ways I'm better off than many. So I need to keep that in mind.

Very up and down, we've had some great trips away just us 2, some amazing family moments as well, made some great memories. But, the last 3 months have been a slog, new job (for her - very positive step in the long run but...) which has seen her working most weekends and reducing our family and alone time to virtually none. My biggest client went bust leaving my business surviving month to month and still not seeing a way out. But everyone is healthy, everyone that was here at the start of the year still is so guess we can't grumble so much with what's going off in the world.

Pretty crap overall.

Lost 3 close family members, a lifelong friend and a dog in the last 10 months.

Watching friends going through equally tough times and trying to be supportive.

The only real positives this year have been those friendships and a hiking trip in a new part of the world.

Actually it's been good. Payed of 95% of my mortgage. Had enough money to build a garage for my motorbike and gym. Decided to better myself and get fit for my 60th and had a fantastic Dance holiday in the South of France. All goals achieved and finally have started a journey tk give myself a better state of mind.

Also decided not to get roo bothered about la k of progress on this site and just to sit back use the Forums. Learning to live and enjoy my life as a single man instead of yearning for what I can't have. So liberating

Illness blighted the start of the year, so not a great start, had 7 month's off with a big op after 4 months, getting fit now but up to my neck in debt and the new build housing that I work on is nearly at a stop so praying 2024 is a better year

Ok especially compared to 2022 (family breakdown followed by nearly dying of a heart attack followed by death of a childhood friend). Work has been shit been busy but don’t seem to have made much profit. Relationship with daughter grew she now stays every other week vs every other weekend and plans on coming to live with me eventually
