It's almost 2016... Share at least one positive thing that happened to you this year, /adv/. No matter how big or how small.

I met a really nice girl, I graduated, and I went on two cool vacations.

Decided I don't care what anyone thinks, I'm going to do me
>"Be yourself, because you never know who would love the person you are hiding"

The Calendar Hour

Tick tock, tick tock.
Midnight knell and fallen ball,
Likened to a siren's call.
A dancing flame before us all;
the year's closing brings
demons out of holding.

When you travel the Labyrinth
inside your own mind,
when you retrace your own footsteps
and find memories, redefined,
you rediscover concepts.

Your days are a flash in a pan
that somehow makes thunder..
don't be thrown asunder.

Come, tell me your regrets,
your woeful sorrows.
Leave their weights with me,
so you can rise free tomorrow.

And if this poem isn't ringing true,
if this year brought you nothing blue,
then weave a wish for me and you.

There's magic within us all,
and every man and every woman is a star.
We're all debutantes,
Gaia is our venue.

There's some pretty gourmet items on this menu...

This time last year; I had 0 friends, I was depressed and in a job I hated.

I quit my job, made tons of great friends. I'm still NEET, but tonight I'm spending my new years eve with great people rather than by myself.

I moved out of sober living into my own place. First time I've ever moved out on my own. No parents giving me handouts, no begging, no manipulating, no stealing, all of it is of my own hard work and honestly made money.

I finished all of my Calculus courses at my college with B's and got an A in my first Physics course.

Cosplayed for the first time at an anime convention and it went very well.

Went to a social event (Halloween Dance) on the fly without any preparation and still managed to try to have fun.

I finally got over my breakup with an ex and just started becoming more confident in myself.

I'm proud of what I accomplished in 2015, but there's still so much more to do.

Now I just to find a stable job that will take somebody with little experience and shaky social skills.

Girl of my dreams found out id cheated on her in the beginning of the relationship and shit. I was a fucking piece of shit back then and shes changed me in a fucking hallmark way and I'm ten times the person I was. She and I are still together. I feel more alive and more of a person every day because of the love she gives me. Shes an angel and I don't deserve her for a second. I wish I had always been what she deserved but I'm so glad shes willing to still be together and let me become what she deserves.

I celebrated one year of living alone in October.

I got out of a 6.5 year miserable relationship (though feeling really lonely now). Got a proper job since graduating. Met a really lovely girl who genuinly likes me.. shame we can't be together due to her being a religious Muslim though.

Feeling extremely low right now though. My previous relationship feels like a distant dream now and that makes me feel so empty and hopeless.. Kinda wanna cry myself to sleep but at a friend's house.

I grew a lot.

...


But.. I'm starting to worry about the future more and more. Future for me and others. Man. Life used to be so much simpler.

I want to achieve something this year.

Don't worry about the future, you can't control it, you can only make good choices now and plan for the future. Good luck, it'll all work out!

>>16628252
Last year, sorry. 2015. You get it.

Dropped to under 200lbs for the first time in years.
Graduated college.
Survived a terrible illness and surgical procedure no worse for the wear.
Understood myself a little better.
>>
>>16628296
What disease did you have?
Appendicitis?
>>
>>16628304
Ulcerative colitis. I've had it for years now and still do, but for the first 8 months of this year it was really terrible.
>>
>>16628309
Oh man that's super fucking terrible.
My best mate has IBS and he shits like a firehose.
I can't imagine what's in been like for you.

I've also had regular old ulcers and they're fucking killer.

Hope you get better, bro. And with no shit bag either.
>>
>>16628332
Thanks.
I narrowly avoided the shit bag this year thanks to an awesome surgeon. Was shitting blood for fucking months but I'm all good now.
>>
>>16628341
I've had bouts of constipation in my life (something I bet you aren't too familiar with) and what I learned from it was that shitting is like breathing. You take it for granted until it gets fucked up.

May you have regular solid shits in 2016.
>>
Met 2 cute girls, one of which hugged me
Passed my classes and was not kicked out of college

I went to a festival with my friends and saw a ton of my favorite artists. I graduated. I went to a shit ton of other concerts and saw more of my favorite artists.
>>
>Made a friend for the first time in ages, early in the year
Downside is they're moving away in 3-4 months

>Made good progress with my health issues
>Less tension with my parents I think

As a whole 2015 felt very empty for the most part. Neither really positive or bad.
