Whiskey sour.
This year went very well, because of alot of bad stuff. Most of my family died for one reason or another (poor health, addiction, ect). But they left me a decent inheritance. I bought a great 3 story house in the woods all on a dead end street paid off. I had a good amount extra and started to invest a bit and made a decent amount on meme stocks to pay for a couple nice trips around the world when this all clears up. I have a decent job and just got a great promotion to a spot I've been playing for and pretty much my career goal since I was a kid (and pays great, for having very minimal college).
Its been ok this year. I don't like to be too optimistic, but I came from a dirt poor, steal-your-diner, childhood.

Yea, no fuck you. My family was fine until my older sister bankrupted us for her heroin addiction, constantly conning my mother into helping her and leaving us with nothing. I would spend months with no electricity. The only smart move my mother ever did was get an amazing life insurance from her company and differed comp that my sister (and later my younger brother who was a pill junkie) couldn't touch. No one knew she had it, and the only other heirs to it are dead.

Same as last year, Bailey's on the rocks. I can't complain, haven't felt stress in a few years now, to the constant amazement of my friends. But it does make a man wonder what emotions feel like to others. To me they've always just been thoughts with particular trajectories, but recently I've read that some have a true physical experience of emotions, such as a warmth spreading through their body when they're happy. This year I learnt to change my emotions at will, but usually I just let the thoughts roll to try to find some physical element to them. Tis but a minor nitpick, the birds are pretty and the music good, to our gains

Really is an odd thing the mind is. Now that you mention it I do occasionally notice some muscle tension when I'm angry, and there are differences in the speed with which I move my hands when I'm frustrated/mellow. But certaintly positive emotions have little substance to them beyond a lack of negative thoughts and a more optimistic attitude. And no emotion has any internal physical sensations - then again, perhaps people that do have easy to recognise strong sensations are the outliers

I did nothing but with this entire year at my own wage slave business. It went from a hobby costing me money to just shy of breaking six figures. That's below minimum wage for the number of hours I worked, but it beats being in the fucking cage. Hopefully I can double it this coming year.

I have zero social life and the loneliness gets hard to deal with. Sometimes I will literally went weeks on end without talking to a single person that wasn't either a customer or cashier at a store.

I don't even know why I bother working so hard. I have a little 50k house paid off. I redid the whole thing myself, so it looks modern and cozy. My cost of living is nothing.

Any lager on tap.

2020 was a rollercoaster. I left my oneitis because of family rejection, promising to come back in a year. I spent the first part of my year drunk and sobbing (like I was 16 again). 2 relatives passed away. I lost my job after training.
8 months in, I’m qualified to practice law in two countries. I’ve joined another law firm and I’m working for a crypto company as a side hustle. Crypto has been amazing investment asset wise too. And I got my MBA, hit 1/2/3/4 in the gym.
So everything is peachy on the surface but I’m fucked inside because of the girl. We were meant to meet this December, but covid fucked the plans. Instead we have this tentative tenterhooks style conversation, she hides from her bf and I hide from...whoever I’m seeing. And she’s angry at me and this NYE I basically sent her a load and she has not replied.
I never thought being rich and doing a job I love could still leave so much room for longing.

Thanks barkeep-anon. I've missed you. Things are doing okay rn but I'm starting to think I'm not going to make it. I just don't have enough capital. I made a 93% return this year but that translates to only $930. Old fashioned with two cherries please.

Drinking Korbel out of the bottle. Haven't left my house in eleven months other than for twice monthly grocery pickups. Sitting on a 'made it' crypto portfolio, but kinda bummed out honestly because there's nothing to spend it on. Planning to spend the weekend getting crypto tax worksheets put together for the CPA. Fuck 2020.
