It is the end of the year by date, and I thought I would wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and a happy New-Year.
I have been spending some time away at the parent’s house, and purposefully ignoring everything that is part of my ‘usual-life’ which includes this blog.
For me, 2019 has been a year in which there have been a few significant events in my life, one of which being the purchase of a property, and yet it feels as if it has been a year of ‘getting on with it’.
I am in the middle of my studies, and my life is locked in its current state for another year and a half. Then the familiar turbulent lifestyle where one must attend interviews for work, that in all honesty, we would rather not.
‘Money can be exchanged for goods and services’ is no longer a valid answer to, ‘so why do you want this job?’
I am looking forward to the next year, although I am expecting more of the same. It is 2021 where things will get interesting!
Anyway, I wish you all the best, and thanks for reading.
First mention I’ve heard of 2021.

Thank you for taking the time to write your posts. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2020. Yes, you needed the break. Hang in there. It may not seem like it now, but achieving something difficult is always worth the effort. Human beings were designed to need a sense of purpose. Those who don’t have one are forced to find satisfaction in other ways, which generally tend to be rather fleeting.

I feel like it is still valid. Ignore the voices that say you need some greater reason. “I need to eat” is valid.

I love your reply… and agree… but I think this is precisely what Louis was getting at, which is why it was such a funny line. Blunt truth is funny. Few of us employ it, in real situations (thanks in part perhaps to the valid need to eat).

A belated Happy New Year to you also, and may 2020 be more exciting and fulfilling than you expect! Purchasing a property is a big step forward. Hope it turns out to be exactly what you wanted.
