If somebody pisses me off or upsets me, I need to stop brooding about it like a little bitch and call them out directly.

Over the last few years I've learned that I avoid confrontation to a fault.

Bonus: how did this past year's go?

Shit.

This time last year I was meant to be moving into my own apartment, then I was laid off, my mortgage offer expired and I had to pull out of the purchase. I now work in a shitty purchase ledger job as a temp, where my office is 50 miles away. The pay sucks and I question why I'm torturing myself working in this role just for some recruiter to earn commission from my misery.

Halfway through the year I had a (kinda close) friend disappear for roughly two months after a rough breakup. I met up with her at a karaoke eve when she reached out because I was worried about her wellbeing. She came on to me pretty hard, we kissed at least a dozen times, dirty danced a few times and made out once, but then she apologized and friendzoned me via text after I got home. And to make it clear, she was the one initiating all this.

My love life wasn't all bad though. I did date someone at the beginning of the year and while that relationship didn't last, the breakup was amicable and we're still really close friends.

Still not sure what I'll do NYE tomorrow....
