Fuck it, I will throw my hat into the ring(despite everyone else going through way worse shit than I did/am, Kudos to you others,especially to you, Caramel Frappe; you guys are strong people).
So recently, things have been pretty good for me, if only in relation to how awful 2013 was. Current problems include: exams on the horizon (2 weeks from now, then a break of a single week before they all begin piling on), my mum being depressed, problems with the flat in which we live in, my brother acting like a complete self-destructive asshole because he still hasn't gotten over his ex leaving him(1.5 years mind) and general attitude problems for myself(lack of motivation, complacency, lack of certainty in education, etc.).
So, 2013:
-My aunt and my grand-dad died(incredible stress for my mum)
-General sense of loneliness in platonic and non-platonic terms
-Identity problems/crises, linked to the loneliness
-Sense of weakness and inadequacy(in terms of assertiveness, defence and educational ineptitude)
-Started Sixth Form(last two years of high school) in the best college this side of London(so high expectations, and a lot of responsibility)
Seriously, 2013 was a shit year, my mum faced a lot of problems at work because she had to go back to our home country often to take care of the fallout left behind by her sister's and dad's deaths, mostly caused by her other relatives who were being absolute pricks to her(she once went to a family meeting(as in, all cousins, all relatives of the same surname) and because she wanted to move my grand-dad into a care home(he had severe problems with his prostate, and he received insufficient care at home) they thought she was using it to take his property as quickly as possible, then after the deaths, my cousins took my grand-dad's properties all to themselves(my mum didn't care, but whilst he was alive, they made him sign off his will to them)and other generally nasty things which I won't go into further detail).
As for my brother, like I said, he split up with his girlfriend about 1.5 years ago, and he is still 'living without a purpose', he travelled a lot in these past few years, has gotten dangerously intoxicated multiple times(resulting in real harm to him) and just being generally harmful to himself and others. This didn't help my mum either.
So yeah, a shit year, I am glad it finished, as for now, things are starting to become more stable, aside from the other things I mentioned, things look a lot better than before. To me, personally, it hasn't been all that bad, it was mostly watching bad things happen to people who I care about(despite me and my brother being distant, and my mum from an entirely different generation and way of thinking).
Hopefully, things will continue going in a good direction, well, unless Ol' Man Putin decides to initiate World War III, in which case, I call dibs on the sweetrolls!
