how's life been guys

[Gundam-Dude]

I feel like a lot has happened for me, but I'll just summarize only the major good portions.

· Been working full-time as a creative designer for a very large print company for over 6 years. I work with million and billion dollar corporations on the daily, so I guess that's pretty cool when I think about it. Contrary to popular belief, print is in fact NOT dying and I don't think it ever will die, both a good and bad thing. I've been working in the industry for over a decade now, which is also mind blowing to think about for me.

· Still on my rock climbing (bouldering) hobby. Sent some indoor V8s, and now I'm psyched for more outdoor bouldering sessions this year and in the future. I'm the fittest I've ever felt in my lifetime and I'm over 30 years old.

· Went to see my favourite artist Dreamcatcher live twice now. Saw them last year in July 2022 in Minneapolis, and again in March 2023 in New York. Did a fan meet and greet and got the opportunity to take a photo with them as well. I love them so much.

· I guess worth mentioning as well, I'm part of the 7Dreamers team, which is the official global fan club for Dreamcatcher. I'm a Twitter admin and graphic designer for them, so the majority of graphics you see on their social media currently are created by me.

Probably missing some stuff, but overall I'm content with life right now.

Started therapy in July and started reading nonfiction books. For the first time in my life, I genuinely want to take care of myself. I finally feel like I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

If you're silently suffering and you're considering therapy, you can do it! A healthy mind is everything. Personally, I feel reborn.

(sry i cant speak english) no sé la verdad, tengo mala memoria pero lo único que puedo recordar es que desde que me expulsaron del colegio estoy mas estudioso (mucho tiempo libre), y también me quieren poner a chambear y tal vez me terminen mandando para otro colegio (si es que regreso, depende de mi psicologa si me dice que "si" o me dice que "no", pero eso se verá el día miercoles)

y pues aparte de eso, todo sigue siendo lo mismo, creo

As a student, I've faced numerous academic challenges, and writing essays has often been a daunting task. Recently, I decided to try personal statement services for crafting an important essay, and it was a game-changer. Their assistance was impeccable, and the essay turned out outstanding. They skillfully presented my experiences and aspirations, making my personal statement stand out. The best part was the time saved and the confidence gained, knowing that my essay was in capable hands. I was impressed by their professionalism and dedication to delivering a high-quality piece. Using personal statement services is a brilliant option for any student looking to excel in their academic journey!

Life going well.

Went back to college after 11 years and working towards my masters in Counseling!

Bought a house and I'm engaged! All of this happened right when I turned 30 and it's just getting better!

Crazy how life has grown for so many people that used to hit keys to 2000's music and are still around

[flipsta_lombax]

Entering another chapter of my life. Got my folks living with me now, plans for Vegas changed but things apparently happen for a reason. First time in 5 years I celebrated my birthday with my fam today. Life is finally turning around, happier than I've ever been.

Plus I play FFR when I can, I still got it [kinda]. FMOs are a bit difficult now but I'll get there again somehow

[hazard28]

Lifes been pretty busy but good. Got married 5 years ago and got a house. Still doing graphic design as a job but hopefully switching companies for a bigger role soon, really want some more itasha and house projects. Started going to the gym about 3 years ago and lost a lot of weight (235 to 178), now just trying to get a bit toned haha. Also picked this game back up a couple years ago and play a bit after work and on the weekends, inching towards my dream of hitting D7 one day. Still an anime nerd and still love music so that hasn't changed, just adulting I guess haha.

I graduated university with a bachelor's in engineering and have been working as a business analyst for 2 years now, however, I still feel like I'm going nowhere in life tbh.

I also have been having a lot of negative events happen to me: my winter white hamster passed away in March, broke up with my ex from a 5 year relationship, my salary got cut, just recently got out of 2 months worth of hell of working unpaid overtime (working up to 12+ hours a day), and have been physically ill for a while.

As for the positives, well, at least I'm living as my authentic self now and have a beautiful girlfriend who loves me dearly. I'm also super relieved that I've managed to have a glow-up after all these years.

I'm currently working on improving my mental and physical health. One of the reasons I came back to check on FFR after not being here for so long was to feel the "happy nostalgia" vibes and reconnect with a few friends from back in the day.

Anyways, it's nice to see some people I'm familiar with still here and thriving. I wish you all the best!

Well a ton has happened to me since 2020 alone. I started going for my masters in analytical chemistry, covid hit, dropped out of the program, started a software engineering bootcamp, got engaged, finished my program and got a job as a software engineering, moved to Alaska, got a new job in SE out here. Also starting performing as a drag queen in Anchorage which has been a blast

I'm surprised you say that you're going nowhere in life if you're (presumably) working in a lucrative field. Do you like your job?

I'm not sure why you're physically ill, but if there's no known cause at this point, then it could be stress. I've been going through the same thing. I'd offer you some advice on that but like it's hard to change the things in your life that do cause you stress, you know?

Sorry about the breakup but it looks like you're doing well now with your new partner

Edit: Not sure what your insurance situation is but therapy could be affordable if your work gives you bomb insurance. I think I gotta go back 'cause of my physical stuff which is lame 'cause I was actually DoNe.

Life's been good so far. Just a few months away from finishing my sophomore year in college. Planning to transfer over to another college to get my bachelors degree in comp sci. Been getting into working out more often because I started putting on weight recently, so that is happening rightn ow.

[Bynary Fission]

Life's been pretty good overall. My niece was born a few months ago and I got to meet her for the first time last week. Saw my whole family, helped my sister move across the country, and I've signed a lease for my new place in Seattle. I transitioned into software engineering from mechanical engineering last year, and that has been going great! I've been staying with my mom and her fiance while she recovers from surgery, and once I get settled into my new place I'm going to start dating again and meeting new people.

I'm still actively making music, playing piano, and working on game development too. Gotta keep those hobbies up!
