I answered this prompt last year and to be quite honest, my answer would not be any different now than it was then. Literally the same things that made me nostalgic then still make me nostalgic today.
With that in mind, I am embedding my response to this prompt from last year below. Enjoy…
I would be negligent in my duties as Your Favorite Blogger if I didn’t mention that today is New Year’s Eve – the final day of 2024. Last week I did write up a list of New Year’s resolutions in a blueprint for 2025. Granted, this list was nowhere near as calculated or well-thought-out as my blueprint for 2024 was. At first, I felt a little bad about how little thought went into “a blueprint for 2025“. But I think that was by subconscious design. The truth is, I still have some things from my 2024 blueprint that I want to accomplish. I’m looking at 2025 as an extension of what I accomplished this year.
I feel like I made a lot of headway in my life this past year. Perhaps most important of all to me is the fact that I have a better control on my anxiety than I have ever had before. I’m happier person today than I was in years past. I think a lot of that stems from the fact that, for the most part, I remain single this year. I did not define my happiness based on my relationship status. Simply stated, I gave myself time to get to know myself again. I found out what I enjoy doing and what I don’t enjoy doing; I want and what my nonnegotiables are.
Later this evening, I’m going on a date with a woman who I will call Sailor Girl. We’ve actually been talking for the last two months, but she got knee replacement surgery at the beginning of December and has been on the mend ever since. As it is, she probably bringing a cane to walk with tomorrow night. We’ve only talked on the phone a few times.
We’ve been texting almost every day, and we did conduct a FaceTime call one afternoon. It’s quite of all of this, I feel like she is falling for me pretty quickly. I’ll have to see how things go tomorrow. I really learned how to get my hopes up too high on the dating scene. For some reason, it seems only appropriate that I would end this year with a date, and a first date to boot.
