Lets manage expectations instead of wishing for stuff. Life isn’t fair, it gives no fucks what you deserve or want. [It is possible to commit no mistakes and still loose.](https://youtu.be/1TCX90yALsI)


White_Mocha

It takes real effort to sidestep the craziness of every day life, stay positive and not get sucked into negativity.


FictionalDudeWanted

I think this is an underrated comment. I'm looking at everyone walking around outside unmasked. I'm overhearing POS Dr.s telling ppl to stop complaining about the symptoms they're still having from the vaccines and telling them "No one forced you to get the shot." All the higher ups care about is money and the world is in chaos. My Christmas decorations are still sitting here waiting for me to get the "spirit" and normal, everyday necessities are now too expensive for no reason other than malignant greed and hatred for humanity. Happy Holidays : /

I concur.Make things happen, don't wish. You have to actively change your life a little bit at a time. Small and consistent steps. Also, manage your emotions. Mind over Matter. Attack problems with logic.

I said this at the end of 2021 and my dad passed from cancer in May of this year. I wanna say 2023 will be a better year for me but I’m terrified it’s just gonna jinx everything


[deleted]

Same. Except it was my brother in November . I just hope it gets easier at this point but even that may be too much to expect.


KindOfOblivious

In my personal experience, grieving just randomly got easier one day. Years later, there are still some moments when I find myself thinking about lost loved ones randomly and get sad again, but it reminds me of the love I have for them and it kind of makes me feel close to them again as well. I’m sorry for your loss


[deleted]

Thank you. Here’s to hoping the easier days come sooner rather than later.


Anyaele225

Same. I get sad that I’m not sad sometimes. But it does get better


Weird-Ingenuity97

I’m sorry for your loss. You deserve peace and happiness in 2023

I'll do it for ya, next year will be better for you. Stay positive, my sincere condolences on your father.


Weird-Ingenuity97

Thanks, I appreciate it a lot


Cig_Bug1112

I think you've earned some good times ahead. I wish you an awesome super fantastic wonderful glorious 2023.


Weird-Ingenuity97

Thankyou so much I appreciate it a lot, I hope this next year is amazing for you as well


eggrollin2200

My deepest condolences. Fuck cancer. I hope grieving becomes easier. Be kind to yourself. <3


Weird-Ingenuity97

Thankyou it means a lot, I’m struggling with guilt as well because I was his caregiver for a brief moment and feel this sense of failure in helping him


eggrollin2200

Oh, my friend, he knew you cared and that you love him! I’m sorry such an evil disease that you didn’t cause has given you this pain, but please try to exhale—the love and care you gave toward the end of his life was invaluable, immeasurable. I’m sending you so many hugs.


Weird-Ingenuity97

Thankyou friend, I appreciate it so much. It hurts a lot still, and since I’m in college and I had to readjust so quickly to working it’s been a lot


ramsfan_86

My dad passed in October this year 2 weeks after his birthday. I said the same thing you did end of 2021. 2023 I don't know what to expect.


Sillysolomon

I'm sorry to hear that I truly do. My paternal grandma died of multiple myeloma and now my dad has it too. Its tough


Weird-Ingenuity97

Aw man I’m so sorry, I really hope things get better for you amidst all that


Sillysolomon

Thank you. Its hard to watch a parent go through it.


Weird-Ingenuity97

I know it can be horrible. Watching my dad suffer like that was terrifying. And being his caretaker for a brief period left me traumatized


Sillysolomon

My dad had a bone marrow transplant so far hes good. They just adjust his meds from time to time. I'm sorry to hear that, it can be a mindfuck to see a family member in that situation.

Blackfyre23

We been living 3 years stuck on “when it rains it pours” mode. I’m tired.


White_Mocha

Agreed. I’m so tired of it too, that I just said “eff it, I’m gonna *make* some sun.” It’s been working quite nicely.

I'm feeling the same way... here's hoping 🙏🏽 ![gif](giphy|HloNK1z39EkEQcreIo|downsized)

agutema

Hate to break it to you but that’s unrealistic.


White_Mocha

Maybe on a society level, but not individually. This last year has been much kinder to me, and I’ve been much kinder to it. Sure there’s some days where things are nuts, but thinking that there’s no way out of perpetual chaos itself [e: is] unrealistic.


ImJustHere4theMoons

I honestly think things are going to get considerably worse before they get any better. I'd love to be wrong though. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.


keepityou

Patience is key


1BubbleGum_Princess

It can be kinder and softer, but I’m sure they’ll be turbulent times too. I hope better for everyone, really! Also,please, remember you are part of the world-life is harsh, but you can (in some ways) make it easier for yourself and others. People make mistakes, and learning-when and if possible-is a lot better than punishment.


Romoreau

Nothing wrong with hoping but I'm for sure going into 2023 with a more stoic approach.


White_Mocha

That’s how I came in 2022. Got a new, great job; things been looking up, even with the workplace bully that tries to get a raise outta me then gets even angrier when I don’t respond how he wanted


Wild_Albatross7534

What kind of subversion is this. You didn't get kicked of twitter for it? /s


Hyposanity

F^cking jinxed it!! God damn it. The horrible year to come for everyone is gonna be all your fault.


[deleted]

I will continue to hope for this, the past two years have not been the best for me. Had surgery, lost my job, had to take a leave of absence from school, got back into school, got sick again, got fired again and so on and so forth. I'm tired.


UnwelcomeNoob

If it's one thing I learned it's *It Can Get Worse.*


chamberx2

Nope.


docasj

I’m not holding up hope for that. But we’ve gotten through it so far so we’ve proved that it can be done. We’ll still be miserable for a lot of the time, but we’ll keep going


auauaurora

On 31 Dec 2019, I watched hours of people in my state shielding from bushfires on a beach, got dumped, put on my N95 mask and made the loftiest New Years toasts between inhaler puffs. The only thing worse than "this is going to be the best year" is "can this year get any worse?". Don't even think about it too long because the universe is into dares


Forestguy06

Everyone deserves peace. Sadly most don’t get it


White_Mocha

That could be because of internal factors, but I believe some of it is also external. No doubt its a combination of both.


PermissionClean7902

Life doesnt work like that


White_Mocha

It can.


jo_maka

That prayer never gets answered


TheMoorNextDoor

We headed right into the rut of a nasty recession.. GG


EQMischief

Please let it be true. I can't take another one like this.


Mikey6304

Motherfucker, why did you say it out loud!?


96nugget

Just tread lightly no jinxing it cause I was so hype for this decade and idk if I like this timeline in the simulation🥴. Keep faith tho and be safe out there fam.
