Re: how's life been guys
Honestly, not so well.
I have been having continuous arguments with family about my own choices in life, dealing with a micromanaging boss who makes my current job miserable as hell, working on some financial and stability concerns, and losing a ton of sleep over all of these stressors in my life. Only things keeping me afloat are my supportive friends and my loving partner. A lot lately, it's been quite challenging for me to find enjoyment in my life but thankfully I have a supportive group of people to keep me company. I really do hope this will all pass sooner than later. It's frustrating to tolerate so much irrationality, selfishness, and greed nowadays.

Re: how's life been guys
inb4coolboyrulez0 (saw you lurking hust before I posted and had to bring back an old meme lol)
I wrote music for three short films all within a months time. One of them won best documentary at my university's film festival and will be one of five chosen to be shown in LA Might have a Zoom meeting with one or even two Hollywood film music orchestrators in hopes that I can start making *real* money soon Getting promoted at my job, can't complain since the pay is minimal but I get paid to just sit all day and assist students with basic computer stuff Still unsure if I'm destined to stay in Miami or move to LA for work but I'm keeping options open

Re: how's life been guys
Also pursuing a Master's, albeit fully online (MBA w/ Music Business concentration)
Getting constantly annoyed by how noisy the house is every damn day (I finally had to purchase silicone earplugs, they help but I'm still annoyed, I just want my peace) Performing with several community instrumental groups and choirs Arranging music for high schools Potentially becoming a marching band pit captain at my high school soon Always thinking of ways to find the next step to pursue my vision

Also grats on having friends LOL but really though. I'm sure you hear this all the time, but high school won't really matter down the line. The important thing really is to survive. Quote:
It's also okay if you don't know what you wanna do. Really. Even if you might think you know you could be wrong. When I was your age I thought I was gonna be a doctor. 12 years later and that's not happening :P However, if you're considering college, actually think about how you're gonna pay for it. That's way more important IMO than knowing how your path's gonna look hi electric orange :B OH MY GOD Quote:
i'm basically paying full price for my master's which is a huge L and why i'm working full time on top of it Quote:

potentially moving to LA sounds big though! Quote:

as for the noise thing if it's something that can be addressed I'd speak with your housemates about it. better than eventually hating them eh? t-force your cat is cute but go away |

Specifically, I'm pursuing the program to gain the skills needed to pursue my vision; founding an ensemble that fosters a genre of percussion and choir music. I'm doing this online to save money, and have the flexibility to also continue performing with several musical ensembles. The noise thing really isn't all that bad, even though I get annoyed, I do get my peace most of the time, and I'm finding my earplugs are a great solution. |

Re: how's life been guys
Howdy y'all!
Life is pretty good! Wife and I bought a house Dec '22, thinking about having a kid in the next couple years. Dog turned 10 and according to our vet is the healthiest Puggle they've ever seen, especially for his age. Sister moved in with her long time boyfriend across the country finally which I'm very happy about because she deserves all the happiness in the world. Got a small promotion at my job and have still retained being one of the top 3 salespeople in my role while taking on some managerial-type responsibilities. Competing in travel tournaments in all of Kickball, Dodgeball, and DDR which is pretty fucking great. Completed a lifelong goal of having a DDR (SMX) stage in my house with a pretty dope setup that allows me to play much more often. Glad to see everyone here is living life and making moves!

Re: how's life been guys
I may as well.
Life's gotten a bit better! I graduated last year with my BBA in Accounting (thinking of post-grad, but maybe later), worked one job, started another recently, and I'm loving it so far! I went from public accounting to corporate in a startup investments company (I'm SO glad to not work with time sheets anymore.) I've been engaged since 2021 and am set to get married this July to my fiance on our 6 year anniversary. :') Since last year, I've gained two new cats and they cause havoc (but are adorable)! One of the new cats is 3 and the other is a year old. My oldest cat is now 16 with the second oldest being 15. We had a bit of a health scare recently with the 15 year old, so he was taken to the vet recently... he's thankfully doing much better after an examination revealed he will have to deal with a heart murmur for the rest of the life and was dehydrated. After some good medications, he is back to his cuddly, loving self. I've been set on bettering myself both physically and mentally. I've definitely struggled with some anxiety and depression for a very long time and because of the events that happened in my life over the past few years, I've neglected my well-being. Working my last tax season and personal drama didn't help, either. I have some suspicions that I may have ADHD, so that is something I'll have to get myself tested for in the future on top of the previous things mentioned. When it comes to physically, I've been trying to get myself back into walks, bowling, swimming, etc. My plan for the summer is to get a helmet so I can take my fiance's bike and just cycle to a nearby town or down a beautiful trail. Other than that, I've been watching hockey, playing trivia games, travelling locally when I can, and enjoying the simple things in life. I hope everyone is doing well here. <3

Re: how's life been guys
I love Ally!!!
------- Life for the most part for me has been both very happy and very difficult. I've been dealing with a lot since 2022 regarding my 13 year old sister and my mom. I had to make some difficult decisions to testify as a witness against my mom in order to give my little sister a better chance at life. It's hard having to speak up against someone who has been there your whole life, but I would have never felt okay with myself allowing the cycle to continue. Thankfully, my sister is in a better home now (with her dad), and she's doing much better for herself in a positive environment. I'm still learning now to having a life without my mom, but I would sacrifice that relationship again if it meant my sister would be okay. I just hope my mom heals herself and is able to understand why I had to do it one day, and we can repair what was broken. Regarding the very happy, I am ALSO engaged and to MrPreggers (Fitsum!). We've been engaged since November of 2022, and our wedding date is November 4th, 2023. I've been having so much fun wedding planning, and it's nice seeing it all come together as the date comes closer. It's going almost a little too fast, we are less than 6 months away from the big day, and I'm a little scared I won't have enough time!! But it'll all be okay.♥♥ I have been at my current job for over a year now as an admin assistant at a family-owned tool & die company. There comes different types of work drama with it all being family there, but it's definitely the best job I've ever had, and they're all so good to me and treat me like I'm family too. I wish the best for all of you. I wish you all so much happiness and positive futures. Keep working for your goals, I'll be cheering you on!!
