2020
Well. I grew a lot. That was the choice for 2020: either grow a lot, or slide into the darkness. There might have been some darkness too.
There was ballroom dancing, which should be obvious from all my social media. I usually have a hundred hobbies, but with Covid, it narrowed down into ballroom dancing with masks. I’m pretty sure I’ve spent over $400 on masks.
I delved into Stoicism this year. It’s a tough love philosophy that appeals to me. “Suck it up. Just do the work.” “Everyone can wallow in depression, but you get up and get shit done.” It’s good for me because my fundamental beliefs are to give in to pleasure, to find joy and happiness. To play. So Stoicism balances that a bit. But I fundamentally still believe that the purpose of life is to live. To find the joy and love in living.
I had stopped reading for a while, but Covid brought it back into my life. There’s been a little bit more TV, but not much.
Andy. What can I say about Andy, we have been together forever, and he is my home. When my energy is low, and when I am sad, I can go to his arms, and breathe in his energy, and he makes things better.
Kiddo is loud and joyful and demands hugs and legos.
Happy New Year! May 2021 be more playful for all of us.
