- Moved?
- I was fortunate to be able to live and work near Sheffield for a few months in late spring and summer. I absolutely loved the experience, in spite of being quite isolated and never really knowing how long I'd be able to stay. When I moved back down here I had to go back to living with my parents, but on December 30th I made plans to move closer to work from mid-January 2024.
- Started a new job?
- Yes. I started the year working a boring temp job, basically on minimum wage and surrounded by homophobia and transphobia on a daily basis. At the time I was just pleased to be doing something. I'd experienced extreme anxiety and suicidal ideation in autumn 2022, so I was just proud of myself for being able to stick at that temp job for the few months I did it. I got my current job in late March, and although it can be equally boring, my life has improved a lot since getting my current job. My job now has way more prospects, amazing earning potential, and I'm working in project management, so I can easily transfer these skills to pretty much any industry I choose in the future. The commute has been horrible, and sometimes made me want to just give up, but I've managed to stick at it for over nine months now, and I'll be moving nearer to work soon.
