quite a few tough life stories here, thanks for sharing.
Me... fluctuates madly between 3-7'ish. Too many variables so some days it's both ends of the spectrum. Don't wanna say too much in case someone I know happens upon my post ranting 'n revealing stuff that clearly id's me. Definitely carrying too much stress that is almost impossible to make go away short of a major life event.
That all said have some family that have made big positive moves the last year (and others with a few horrible health things too, which I won't dwell on). Have been trying to make new friends the last few years - it's been frustrating but this last year has finally started positive results. Damn it's hard making new decent caring friends it seems. Meanwhile some others just get lost in their own navel gazing and DGAS which is so disappointing - basically had to walk away from a few friends that weren't worth the energy anymore.
Am optimistically hopeful I can reduce device screentime, improve financial decision making, improve relationships, improve mental health, gotta strive towards a lower stress life that could support retirement in ~5-8 years (whatever retirement means), and lastly hoping to successfully plan and execute a big family vacation in 2024.
All that being said... reading all the above shares I feel I can relate to so many people and feel that a good pub session could be wildly fun/successful in an awkward way. Might have to spot a few people a bevvie or two though to make it accessible.
