Nothing too crazy. Started the decade a fresh 18 year old out of high school trying to get into the navy, ended it as a dude with a decent job, a kinda crazy second job, my own car and apartment. My car needs some fixing and I need some furniture, but I’ve grown into my own man these past 10 years.

The 2020s are gonna have me getting married and having a kid, so my fun days are over in a few years.

Best: Getting to travel a lot this decade. Travelled for 3 months in USA, Canada, Mexico & Costa Rica. Also been to Japan, Australia, Singapore and various European countries which I never did before this decade. Already planning on going to Ireland & Italy for the Euro Championships this summer and hoping to make it to South America at some point in the next few years.

Worst: my self confidence has massively dropped and social interactions I find increasingly hard. Also finding people I have stuff in common with has become a problem

Other than that my parents splitting up and divorcing hit me a bit hard (split in 2010). Trying to adjust to this throughout the decade has been a challenge. Especially since my Sister spent most of the decade either in Australia or Scotland so I’ve had to deal with most of the drama myself.

I started the decade 25, broke with a substitute teacher job that kept getting more and more ridiculous, engaged to a man-child who desperately wanted to get married and have kids despite us living in his mom's house and him refusing to advance beyond part-time bagger/cart attendant at the supermarket (not to worry, one day he was going to win big on scratch-offs!). I stayed with him as long as I did because I was terrified he wouldn't survive the world without me.

2012- I finally had the balls to leave him for good, and soon began a mutually beneficial adult relationship with the man I'm still with today.

2016- Weird-ass year, went to Vegas in January to visit boyfriend's extended family (didn't do any gambling). February I started a new retail job and on my first day of training, my bf's grandfather's house burned down, where we also lived as he was his grandfather's unofficial caretaker. They both recovered but the grandfather had to spend a few months in a rehab facility. After that, the three of us rented an apartment. Officially quit sub job when retail job moved me to what I thought was a full-time position (spoiler alert: it wasn't, at least not anymore- they had quietly converted it to part-time right before moving me and hiring on a bunch of new people). November, I lost my little sister.

2017- Quit retail job when the stress from the morons in charge began causing my health to decline. Was at the height of suffering the effects of second puberty that started when I was 29, which resulted in a huge decline of my mental state. My mom was doing everything she could to help me get thru it.

2018- Don't remember exactly when, but bf's grandfather suffered a severe fall. He spent a few weeks in hospital, and would require home healthcare thereafter- it was recommended he go into a home, but he refused. The whole process was a mess- first bf's mom and her sister alternated helping while trying in vain to arrange something through his insurance, then he started hiring home health workers out of his own pocket and ended up bankrupting himself. Then bf's cousins watched over him until he fell out of his wheelchair and after that, he was ready to go into assisted living.

2019- Oh, 2019, the year that is simultaneously the year I lost my beloved mother (in January) and yet somehow also managed to be the happiest, freest year of my adult life! I FINALLY weathered the storm of my second puberty and got my marbles back! Also, I'm a homeowner now! And in May, I took a week-long vacation in Hawaii*! Also got a new job that's supposed to be fun, we'll see how that goes. We also took another trip to Vegas an this time stayed at the Flamingo the whole time. So, yeah, other than losing my mom, 2019 is pretty much my high of the decade.

*To illustrate how over my second puberty I was, at age 35, I spent the night of the 2019 MITB getting drunk on 4 Lokos, then woke up the next morning bright and early to do a rain-forest hike, with no ill effect
