Found Happy in 2023

I think since it is Christmas Eve, it is fair for me to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I mean, personally I do not celebrate, but I also never understood the whole anger around wishing it. I think it is a made up FOX news thing. Plus, I like presents, so i will always wish a Merry Christmas if gifts are involved.

My birthday is in December, so truth be told, I always hated the holiday season. I always felt like i was ripped off as a kid, and my lingering anger moved on as an adult. The one thing i do enjoy is seeing my kids happy this time of year. I love when people are frestive and the lights and everything. But I also know it is a tough time for many, so i really just try not to go on and on about it.

2023 for me was a good year. it was one that started off like the last five, and then i found my way. I cannot express to you how much happier i am today than when I focused on so many things online that I no longer do. Honestly, when it comes to politics, I care about democracy. I care about rights. These are the topics I want to write in longer form here, and will not that I have the time. I dont care that Donald Trump smells like shit. I just do not. And I am glad i do not have to care anymore.

But my weight loss is going slow, it is going to get revamped with some stronger gym sessions. I want to talk about that more here. My son starts baseball. He is going to start this year. I want to talk about that here.

I want to talk about things here that I no longer talk about on social media. I never post things like I did on Twitter. I sometimes use Threads, but I kind of hate it there also. And I think it is more about me than anything else. I have changed a lot. I think today i am a better person, I am more focused and I also believe that I can utilize my compassion better.

So, anyway, I am thankful for those who stuck around, free or paid. I have teetered a lot, but you have to understand that this year did it for me. My job is selling memorabilia, primarily sports.

but this is an outlet I have time for. I have zero expectations. If you sty, I am happy. If you leave, I am still happy. If you throw a tip on my Ko-Fi, I am happy. If you think I am a scum sucking non talented grifter who is an asshole, I am happy.

The point is, in 2023 I became happy. And I assure you, it will come with me in 2024.
