I've already launched off into a short thread on this over on birdhell, but yeah.

The 2010s have been... one hell of a time for me. Started them out by becoming an adult on paper, and... honestly I dare say the vast majority of my development as a person happened after that point. It's an understatement to say I've basically spent this entire decade picking up pieces of myself that I'd lost over the course of my life before that - from figuring out my sexuality at the very beginning of the decade, to coming to terms with the fact I'm trans, to the nearly decade long DID break that followed after that... only to finally come together as a person again and pick up a very lycanthropy-shaped last piece of myself last summer, that I'd thought had just been a temporary thing that had vanished after I turned 19 or so only to smack me *right* in the face with itself.

Planning to finally just come out with all that over on Twitter too because I'm sick of hiding things about myself, but suffice to say, that whole thing had been bubbling underneath the surface for years upon years.

As for everything else... well. Graduated high school, crashed out of college and had to come to terms with the fact I'm simply not at all fit to work in a capitalist environment, went way off the beaten path, got a whole *bunch* of other shit flung at me and... honestly, while it sucked in the moment I'm kind of glad it happened, overall? I've grown tremendously as a person since.

Speaking of personal growth, meeting all of you lovely people, both here in the Fediverse and elsewhere in my life helped tremendously with that, and I can't state often enough that I couldn't have gotten to where I am without y'all. 💙 I'll forever be thankful for that, and as rocky as this decade's been for probably all of us, let's make sure the next one's better.

To 2020.
