It's was an amazing year, then it was a shit year, a sad year, and a happy year. Let's just call it emotional.
By defining moment? Actually letting my guard down to let someone in, even if it didn't end well  |

Utterly unremarkable in many ways.
Best of it was taking bad bitch out to Holland to my house for a week or so. Worst was getting made unemployed in October because one member of the team didn't like me.
Fabwise we ticked off some fantasy bucket list items and learned we had some new ones to add |

Unfortunately the abiding memory for me was finding out a close family member has cancer the fact it came completely out of the blue as well knocked us all for six. I've learnt more about cancer types and treatments and symptoms than I ever thought I would. Sadly that will be my biggest memory of this year which is sad as I had some wonderful times this year but they all seem a long distant memory at this stage. |

This year I refound my freedom. I don't want to dwell on what came before that apart from as a reminder to never let it happen again. Most of this year was a shitshow, but it's the past few months I will remember fondly. |

Aww Jag, that's really lovely and I remember it well. Sorry it didn't end well, hopefully we'll read it happening again in 2023. x |

Getting the phonecall and finding out my closest brother had taken his life in such a distressing way. Carrying his coffin and holding his ashes just a few days ago. Taking home his favourite belongings and being able to smell him. Knowing in seven months time I'll be older than he ever was. One month ago since he left and it's still hurting like nothing else ever has. Scrolling through my phone looking at all our messages and calls feeling empty knowing I will never hear or see him again. I hate how you're expected to just get on with life like normal when you're living through all of this.  |

No words at all to help. And the knowledge that the sorrow will eventually fade is itself a deep sorrow.
I'm so deeply sorry, and I really hope you and your family have true and loving friends to hold you.  |

I think it'll depend what mood I'm in. If I'm happy I'll remember the year for some fantastic sex with some amazing people. If I'm morose I'll remember the grandparents who have died and their funerals. Lost another one last week, so get to start 2023 with yet another funeral.
But on a cheerier note the kids have come out with some classic lines this year, so I'll laugh when I think of them |

There's a couple of memories of the last year that I'd rather forget as quick as possible.
Also one or two great things have happened so not all bad I guess |

I feel guilty for writing this, and I’m so sorry for the people who’ve contributed comments with painful and difficult experiences. Hang in there, be patient and it will get better x
I’ve learned to be content, this year.
I’ve had tough times, as we all do, but this is the first year my moods have been pretty steady and when I can feel the black clouds coming over, I’ve got the tools now to look after myself and have it pass quickly, instead of letting it take over. |

2022 has had a few great moments. I became an auntie for the first time, Watched our youngest take her first steps and have her first birthday and went on a big family holiday. I’m hoping next year will be filled with more |

A non-descript year, dominated by work (as was 2021). Anticipate 2023 being more fun with some relaxation ideally in a hot country (unless the politicians screw things up further). |

"By defining moment? Actually letting my guard down to let someone in, even if it didn't end well
That’s beautiful x
Sound a bit grim to me?"
Then you’ve missed what I understood from that post, which is the strength it took to be vulnerable again, and the realisation that the ability to have feelings are still there, the hope - despite past disappointments.
I’d say it’s important to try, and for it not to work out, then never to try at all. |

Just that Red

Trying really not to be negative but without going into too many details, 2022 was one of my worst years so far, probably only compared to 2017, when I left abusive relationship and was made homeless living off food banks.
What I’ve learned is to be everyday grateful for what you have and to live in present moment as past is nothing you can change and future is not promised.
Wishing for a good year for everyone who has contributed to this thread and for everyone else.

The full year has been a massive blur. It has went by so fast but being able to live my life again after covid and lockdowns has been amazing. I’ve done things I wouldn’t have done before the lockdowns and I’m so glad I did. |

"2022 was a turd wrapped in a shit fest but a lot of lessons learnt which will ultimately make 2023 a better one."
I’m going with this encapsulates my year perfectly  |

As I said in a previous thread of yours OP. A force of nature swept into my life in 2020 my dead mothers sister who I thought lost to me for good. Who secured me an inheritance and more importantly secured me my mothers history all written down.
She was then cruelly taken from me this year by a horrible disease. She faced it head on and glammed up to fuck. Now trying to process the loss is a challenge.
Let’s hope 2023 is better. |

It’s been the year of realisation for myself regarding my fab life. I’ve had some fantastic meets though and made lovely friends.
I’ve closed doors recently and opened new ones.
I’m very much looking forward to exploring 2023 with people that actually want to meet… |

Generally a good year although had some curve balls thrown in along the way which we could have done without but hopefully we are done with them all now and can look forward to a fun filled 2023 with the friends we have and those yet to meet |

It's been a roller coaster, lots of highs and lows, especially the 1st 8mths of the year.
Thankfully I didn't have cancer, a huge low until I got the results.
Smashed the end of the year, new role within the company, found myself and actually really like her, made lots of new acquaintances and some have turned into lovely friends.
im actually loving my life!!
Going into 2023 the best version of me so far and I'm growing daily.

"It was a decent enough year. Some challenges but ultimately it seems to have gone by in a flash! I really can't believe we're at the end of it already"
I know it’s gone very fast the heatwave only feels like a few weeks ago! |

It really does, so much felt packed in that it's probably the quickest I've ever felt a year go by |

It's been a bit of a mixed bag! Some great memories are all the gigs I've been too, and actually getting away for odd nights to new places, took myself out of my comfort zone and survived!
September was a bit of a shocker, some very sad losses, but just makes me want to live my life the way I want and be happy. |

That’s great to hear, I also had that scare, not the first in my years but hopefully the last, it can be a very stressful, worrying and anxious time and certainly a rollercoaster like you say. Enjoy 2023 |

Cancer sucks, but Macmillan are amazing, if you see them in action, they will do what ever it takes. Just ask them.
Hope your relative gets all of the support that's available. |

That our government are totally clueless and are so disconnected from the people it's a joke.
The sad loss of her majesty The Queen.
Ridiculously hot weather and the lack of protection in terms of employment law for those of us who have to work outside.
The greed by energy companies and complete lacking in compassion.
And the never ending stream of nutjobs spewing out conspiracy theories almost on an hourly basis.
Lastly the world teetering on the brink of nuclear Armageddon because of a narcissistical egomaniac and his sycophantic followers. |

Done fuck all but work n sleep.
Then my lad visited a few weeks ago for the Placebo gig which then got cancelled.
That's when he told me I'm gonna be a nan. So, that's sure to be my defining memory.

Something like that you’ll never forget unfortunately, but time will ease the pain you’re feeling eventually. Certain things will bring the memories all back and quite often at unexpected times but it does get easier so hang on in there x |

Friendship
This year has been a rollercoaster ride where I've felt like a kite dancing in a hurricane.
My friends were there to pick me up, dust me off and stand with me holding my hands, so I knew I had the strength to get through. I am and will always be, forever grateful |

Major family issues on my wife’s side so not great and doesn’t look very likely to be sorted out in 2023 either. A very true saying you can pick your friends but your family forced on you. |
