a new year has finally begun! it's always hard to get used to, i think, but it marks a lot of new developments in my life...
for one, my anniversary with my girlfriend is exactly a week from now! this is probably the longest and most serious relationship i've had in my life. i'm so happy to be with her... i'm not perfect. i'm slow, insensitive, blunt, and selfish, so i don't know what i did to deserve her, but i want to do my best for her...sometimes, i don't know how to handle things, especially regarding feelings, but i want to learn to get better for her sake.
this year, i'm also going to try to make some progress in my life. i feel like everything in my life has been stalled or paused for several years now, and i used to basically be resigned to the fact that i'd be a useless neet forever and never hit most "milestones" people do in life, but now it feels like i'm actually moving forward. ever since i started dating my girlfriend, it's like there are goals to work towards now instead of a constant emptiness...
in addition, i'm slowly learning to walk and build stamina too, with the goal of being able to get around completely independently. (this doesn't sound like much, but it's important to me since i've lived for a long time with health conditions that made this nearly impossible, but now i'm starting to get the help i've needed for so many years.)
whether the new year has any significance to you or not, i hope you have a wonderful day, wherever you are! thank you for joining me on this journey.
