High - Turning to see the TV walking down the aisle on our wedding day (as our friend sung June Hymn by The Decemberists - really nailed the soundtrack). Just the most incredible feeling :slight_smile:

Low - The ongoing need to parent my parents through their divorce

Other Lows
- Referendum
- Trump

Other Highs (got to finish on a positive note, right?)
+ TV’s job offer meaning we can move ‘north’ next year
+ Knocked my wedding speech out the park
+ EITS playing Greet Death live
+ Promotion at work
+ Climbed my hardest boulder to date
+ New forum!!!
+ Greenland on our honeymoon

Thanks ccb. Sounds like you’ve had a mixed bag, but you always seem to be making the best of the highs and the lows.

  • Got a job doing something I’ve wanted to do since I’ve been a kid, and a lot happier for it
  • Moved flat with new bunch of friends

= Still with TV, though it has been rocky recently. Wonder how long it’ll last.

  • Let go after probation from my first job out of university. Hated it and wasn’t very good at it, but still hurts to be let go, especially in week of Brexit.
  • Getting a bit sick and tired of London, mostly due to money worries and not being able to make the most of this wonderful city

HIGH: Cycling with Sir Bradley Wiggins (didn’t do drugs and didn’t have a mystery jiffy bag).
LOW: Brief existential crisis after I changed jobs and wondered if I’d made a huge mistake.

high:
low: - best friend dying
- mum going into a psychiatric ward
- sister in law’s MS getting worse all the time
- alcohol addiction
- job stress
- gaining 2 stone
- ex gf appearing at my work causing anxiety attacks for a month or so

Hopefully won’t be here this time next year to make another terrible list.

Assume it’s obvious, but my ‘like’ expresses me being pleased for the good things and supportive for the bad things. You always seem like a great person on here. Merry Christmas!

+finally seem to be making progress on some music after years of procrastination

jebus, that sounds like an awful year.
sorry man.

#39

massive high - the wedding & everything about it, seeing the tv in her dress, the ceremony/day/venue, the pub on our minimoon
other highs - friends, music, family

lows - compared to others not a lot, other than political things where everything bad seems to have happened

High points.

  • Released an album that I was really proud of.
  • Went to Primavera with my ATDs and had the most wonderful time.
  • Walking home one morning with one of my best friends who had just moved in with us and he said how happy he was to be doing that and living with us. Fucking broke my heart in a good way.
  • Going to London with my family and having the best fun I’ve ever had with then. I love them so much.

Low points:

  • Finding out two of my friends are arseholes to women and dealing with that shit. Still ongoing.
  • A band dissolving earlier this year and the two guitarists moved away. They were the reason I stayed in this city and I love them and miss them. We’re still friends but I miss them terribly.

Got married which was a high but the rest of the year was pretty depressing.

My nan died on my birthday, i got made redundant last month and just all the general awfulness and hatred in the world.

That as well.

I’ll let you work out which of the above list are positive and which are negative.

#45

Positive or negative?
