I feel like basically anything interesting or really important that happened was within the last third of the year

(like... getting a job)

I did get three microsoft office certifications since august

and those things alone are pretty cool actually

^^^ THAT ^^^

like, so what if they came late, you did so much this year??

I always forget that the certifications are actually a pretty big deal bc it's like "oh take a 26-question test here's a piece of paper" and then I forget about it lmao

and along with that up until the job came along to sap all of my brainpower, this year still saw me 100% succeeding in school, complete with a 4.0 gpa, for the first time in my entire 25 years on this planet

especially significant when I dropped out of college three times prior to this attempt and squeaked out of high school with like a 1.9 gpa or something horrible like that

the job thing is also a big deal-- it's not the first job I had this year but as we all know the softfile data entry factory was abusive manager purgatory so getting into a pretty cushy and flexible position with y/lumens where I enjoy my work and my coworkers/managers is like [hallelujah chorus.mp3]

I am not enjoying Death Project that is now running through the start of february, but I still enjoy the actual work so that's something

did I start meds this year, was that this year... if so, that's important

if not, that's still important

if not (I think you did but) it's an entire year you've been on meds

which is GREAT

I haven't spent an entire year on antidepressants since I was in high school! I don't know why it took seven years to be like "hm maybe medication would help since I am so depressed that I cannot tie my shoes" but
