Given I misunderstood a question on the front page and had already types out my answer as if this was the question, I thought I might as well ask it.

I’m the most proud of my party work this year. We had free food events, we raised a lot of petitions that actually had impact in legislation, we were everywhere at protests and strikes and we grew as a whole this year.

For me personally, it was my holiday with four of my friends. I was the only guy and I was a bit uncertain of how that would go, but we had such a great time. We went camping in this beautiful town in the mountains and it was such a cool experience.

Also, my gf managed to get her master degree after ten years of studying. I was really happy for her but also for me, as her study took up most of her time. For two years I did so much work in supporting her and taking care of tasks here around the house etc that it became a bit too much in the end. So I’m also glad that she succeeded and that she now has more time for us lol.

How about you?

    I’m no longer gonna kill myself. I still feel suicidal at times, but I’m not gonna do it. It’s weird when you’re left to just live life.

      I have a brother that’s been going through the same situation. It’s really tough but knowing that he’s pushing through everyday gives me strength(I don’t like saying that phrase, it sounds cliche but it’s true) and I know you can push through too. We all love you comrade!❤️

      I was going to off myself too but then I became a ML and now I want to see how things will play out. I want nothing more than to crush the bourgeoisie. See the fall of crapitalism. Even though I still get depressed and suicidal by random flashbacks/PTSD from time to time. But I will no longer do it.

      I had that feeling for a while when I went from suicidal to stable. Eventually that period was just a phase as well and I transitioned into the semi responsible adult I am now. Stay strong comrade ✊🏼

    Finding Marxism Leninism and separating myself from the imperial world view. Lemmygrad was the main drive for this.

    And honestly, just being happy with myself compared to last year.

      Same!! r/GenZedong being shutdown at the beginning of the year was the main impetus for me becoming a principled ML that no longer falls for silly slogans like “Free Iran” or “Sex Work is Work” or “Save The Uyghurs” “Putin’s Unprovoked War of Aggression” or any number of NED-funded mottos that have unfortunately fooled many American Lefties

    I met a girl this year and she’s been pretty good for me since this year is literally the worst one I’ve ever had. We get along well and I feel better for being with her. I also progressed a lot of gym PRs this year and I’m probably in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I’ve read a decent number of articles and classical communist works. I also ate a lot of great meals that I would kill to have again. One of my favorite things was trying new things like Tandem Biking and using loofahs. I fucking love loofahs. I really loved seeing a lot of amazing films this year, my favorite being Training Day. That being said…damn it’s been a long rough year

        Loofahs are the things that you use to scrub yourself in the bath/shower. They look like a 💭 thought bubble and are soft enough to scrub with but hard enough to exfoliate if you apply pressure

    This has been one of the worst years…probably the second worst year in the past decade for me. For me personally there was a moment this year I shared with friends that I really enjoyed. We went tubing and I spent a lot of time around a campfire and in a hammock. It cost me an economic opportunity but I have no regrets.

      I’m sorry to hear that, comrade. I hope you can overcome your hardship in the next year.

      Economic opportunities aren’t the most important thing in the end (to a certain degree). Sometimes moments like that with friends are what counts in the end.

        Pretty normal finally, while it’s school: classes usually start earlier in morning and are shorter than in school, afternoon my siblings come back from school and we spend time together after they finish with homework, after that we watch movies and anime, play games, mess around, shitpost on internet, draw etc. During holidays: if it’s not sunny day we go out on a walk in forest, play during snow, comeback and do everything like usually but all day since we’re school free.

          A colon has three uses: to introduce a list; such that, the introducing clause is independent; ie, a stand-alone sentence, to separate two independent clauses where the following clause elaborates the leading, and interchangeably with the dash; viz, the emphasis of a single word or phrase at the end of a sentence that couldn’t otherwise be grammatically written.

              Probably not. Relationships like that are built on trust but they keep lying to eachother despite having a hall pass to do whatever they want. It’s not the sex with others that is bothering them, it’s the constant lying.

              Your style seems to have an interesting sense of nostalgia. It has a mysterious ambience to it. On Slow Burn, I imagine a scene where I’m in this sci-fi place and I’m exploring through the mysterious place. I dig your style. Can’t wait to hear more!

                I appreciate it, I always love to hear another person’s feedback on my work. After finally releasing this project after like two years I still have like 84 songs that I have to decide what to do with, including some to sell cause I still would like to get paid for my labor lol

                I have a lot of plans for the upcoming year, hopefully my mental health can stay stable enough for it 😮‍💨

    I came out to my family and neighbors as a trans woman, not fully out yet but I’m pretty close to it. I also got three laser hair removal treatments this year so I’ve started physical transition as well

    Other than that I became an ML, and I understand the world better because of this
