What does anyone think of 2025 so far

[Nicholas Mellan 16]

Personally think it's a terrible year in my opinion. I know everyone has different lives but. 2025 feels much different than 2024 or earlier then that I feel like something shifted in 2025 idk what but it's a huge change basically.

Like the rest of the decade, 2025 further cements my distaste for humanity. It's been pretty miserable. I'm not sure if I can hold out any hope the next half of the 2020s, let alone this year, will be better. I want it to be better, and my only option at this point is to do what I can to make it so. Figuring out how will be easier said than done, though, which can apply to just about any avenue of life, really.

It went way too fast, that's for sure. From my personal experiences and things that happened in my life I think it's been pretty good. Not the best year but not the worst either. I'm slowly moving forward with my goals, every now and then something nice happens and I try to enjoy those moments. It's honestly not bad at all.

As for everything else outside my little life I try not to worry too much about things I can't control. I would say that 2024 was probably better but there is nothing I can do about it and it is what it is.

Come to think of it, 2025 hasn't been very good.

My birth country (USA) continues to crumble, I didn't hear back from this one job I applied for that I really hoped to hear from, my dad had a massive heart attack back on Easter of all days and now my parents have insane medical debt and will probably have to sell their house, my sugar cravings have been super intense, my vaccuum decided to quit life which might not sound all that bad but it wrecked me tbh, I never heard back about the wild corella bird I took to the vet, the rent went up, and my favorite site on the internet is currently really going through it.

Ugh!!!

I feel like 2025 has had a lot of good for me, and a lot of bad. I think it's a big year of growth for me personally, and that's scary but also exciting.

Hope everyone else has a great rest of their year.

It's been such a mixed bag for me so far. The first half was pretty bad. Had an awful, stressful job that took up too much headspace and time. Worsened by the short, cold days. Then got fired from it which derailed my saving plans for a month and made me feel terrible about myself.

Second half, however, has been going the opposite way. Much better! I bounced back quite quickly. Now I've got two jobs, both of which I feel much better about, and feel much better about my place in them (shocking! having a defined role and duties makes you better at your job, rather than being flipped around all over the place, who knew?). I had an amazing family holiday, the weather is better, and I'm almost ready to head out to travel the world for over a year in 2026 So much to look forward to!

Obviously world events have been terrible, but if I let them dictate my life I'd just get crushed and experience no joy.

2025 is like any other year in my life, realistically. Every year seems like a bad year, from personal life, to global tension. But every year ends up being the same for me....

No matter what is happening around me, I still need to make sure my bills are paid, my cat is loved, and I try to find a tiny bit of entertainment in the process.

Every year ends up the same.

I lost my Mum this year, so it's been the worst year of my life.
My Daughter sits her driving test this week, so hoping we get a little something to celebrate in 2025. Plus I'll get to see her more if she passes.
Dear universe, please let her pass.

Not great. Half of my immediate family have been slowly fading away for the past year and it’s been a harsh reminder that almost my entire family will be gone within 15 years. I have started feeling the urge to move out and live alone, but I don’t have the means to leave yet. I refuse to leave my family behind while several of them are sick All I’ve done this year is work and consume entertainment to kill time until the personal stuff is over and I can move away from a town I don’t like living in.

I’ve had several unpleasant interactions online this past year and I’ve made the decision to be cautious with who I let enter my digital life from now on. I’m tired of the endless rude messages, ghosting, manipulation, and abrupt falling outs. For a long time these situations happened because of my own social mistakes, but for the past two years I fixed my issues and it still happened. It made me realize genuine connection is rare online and most of the time, the person on the other end sees you as entirely disposable. The silver lining is the handful of online friends that have stuck around for more than a few months are amazing and have been great additions to my life. I’m still social and friendly in public online settings, but I’m not setting myself up to get hurt again privately.

Globally, things are dismal. My country has been declining for decades and this year the process has only sped up. My gut feelings and my mom’s gut feelings on what will transpire next on the news have been consistently right and if that continues being the case then I dread what will take place over the next several years.

I was considering living in a big city for a while, but now I feel tempted to buy a place out in the woods to avoid what I expect what will come next. I’d still have the internet, but otherwise I would be living remotely. In the past I was most at peace when I lived in rural, quiet areas rather than cities or towns, so I think this might be the right decision. I’d have to learn to drive and that thought scares me, but it would give me freedom I currently don’t have from just walking, having my parents drive me places, or relying on my small city’s severely limited public transportation.

This year and most likely well into next year are transitory periods for me, but I think once the family stuff is over my life will go on a (mostly) upwards direction.

it started off pretty rough for various personal reasons, but i think it's slowly getting better? so far, anyway. i'm hoping that it only continues to get better and better from here.

 

[tazmily menace]

horrible. lost motivation for things because. what's the point if mutually assured destruction happens and we all die y'know

 

[Shawna]

It's been pretty good. I can't really complain, though there really isn't much to say. This year has been zipping on by and I cannot keep up. >_<

One thing I am frustrated about in terms of what has been going on lately -- that my dad and I are trying to do...is getting my ID. We tried to go to the DPS back on the 12th to no avail. My dad has been meaning to get me an ID for YEARS. My dad needs to get his license renewed anyway and he couldn't even do THAT. >_< ;-;

I hope we can get this sorted out in the coming weeks/months or at least sometime this year. >_<

"Whoa dude, that's crazy" in the most monotone voice possible.

"Oh, boy, maybe 2023 will be the comeback year!"
"Oh, boy, maybe 2024 will be the comeback year!"
"Oh, boy, maybe 2025 will be the comeback year!"
At this point I'm pretty sure we're past rock bottom
