2023 was the year of gratitude.
I tried to live a life rich with gratitude, for the sake of my health, and for keeping good things in my life (as I believe that I don’t deserve to keep good things that I don’t appreciate). However, this feels like it only served to drive a wedge between myself and at least a few others. Now I think that many of my expressions of appreciation for the good things that others provide me were often a nuisance, and unwanted — I didn’t do them “correctly”, or maybe they were “wrong” for some reason beyond my control. Perhaps their annoyance would have been obvious to others, but in my social blindness I failed to see it for too long, and once again I feel connections to others breaking down.
2024 was the year I learned to keep it to myself.
