With the world the way it is, it can be hard (at least for me) to see much of a future. So, for something positive for a change, what’s happening in your personal life, what are you getting, or what ever else is meaningful right now - what’s going on that you’re looking forward to?

The Superman movie.
I’m a pro musician. I was in a big rock band in the mid 2010s, and we were doing all kinds of cool shit. It imploded over stuff that didn’t really involve me, but following that, I went into a serious drunk-depression that lasted years and almost killed me.
I cleaned up, going on two years sober, have a new band together, and are about to open ourselves up to the world and start booking shows. It’ll be my first shows completely sober since like 2012. It’s terrifying, but I’m excited as hell.
Punk rock music has fallen by the wayside. Time to try and bring it back to life. 🤘
im happy
Graduating college next week. Finally have a degree to my name. Been a long 2 years of crazy studying
The day I quit my current job.
I’ve been with this company for a few years. I grew in it and had a great time. My boss however decided to take over my job, and slowly I’ve been going back to tasks I was no longer doing since I had other responsibilities, while he takes over my tasks and ruins what I’ve been building for years.
It’s been painful to see that, but extremely painful to see the mood of the team changing to the worse, and just having a sense of less productivity.
It’s a lost cause at this point. So I’m just looking for the day where I get to leave.
I’m looking forward to my plants growing.
Short term: new shoes! I ordered them online, they should arrive any day now. Looking forward to having something nice to wear in the summer.
Mid term: forging our wedding rings! We have a workshop coming up in a couple weeks where we’ll be forging our very own rings under supervision of a professional jeweler. Jewelry is a very lovely thing on it’s own, even more so when I’ll be creating them from scratch together with my partner - the love of my life.
Long term: our wedding next year! There’s still so much preparation to be done and so much money to save up until then, as well as the honeymoon right after that. It’s all very exciting!!
Donald Trump’s death. Really gonna enjoy that whenever it comes
I’m going to throw a party.
And Putin and Bibi, basically all power hungry war mongering old fucks
This! I’m not a drinker but the day Donny dies I’m gonna get fucking trashed and celebrate.
I was just thinking of that. I imagined the US military actually serves it’s purpose to defend the constitution, attempts to arrest trump, he resists and then he dies.
Is just wishful thinking tho…
we gotta make sure Vance dies first
I’m not concerned about Vance as much as I am Trump. We’ll worry about Vance next.
Going to the UK in October, looking forward to it!
A future wave and welcome, bring your brolly! Whereabouts will you be visiting?
London, Salisbury/Stonehenge, and Liverpool. 10 days total. I’ve always been a bit of an Anglophile, a big history nerd, and a huge Beatles fan. I can’t wait!
Liverpool? My condolences, at least it’s not Birkenhead on the other side of the mersey.
Awesome, still never made it to Stonehenge yet. You’ll have a blase! Annoyingly, I’m London for a few gigs next weekend or Saturday for the Solstice would be ideal
The next Lemmy release so I can finally continue with my Lemmy bot.
Food
Speaking of which: happy cake day!
Music is central to my life, so upcoming releases, gigs, clubnights and festivals are my escapism drugs. That and uh, the actual drugs
Going to the wedding of some close friends too in July, they’re great people so I’m sure it’ll be a blast!
Finally, slowly but surely making progress on my house which I bought three years(!) ago, both in terms of much needed maintenance and filling out with furniture. Still lots to be done!
Exciting! Enjoy the ride, my friend!
After ten years keeping bees as part of a charity project, next year I’m leaving that and getting my very own bees. I’m very excited at the prospect!
Also, at the end of this year I’m going on a trip abroad for the first time since 2019. I’m quite apprehensive but still looking forward to it.
Getting out of Texas! As of Wednesday I’ll be heading north and leaving the southern US completely.
Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it’s hard to see much of a future - there isn’t one here for me. It’s unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I’m paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I’m out this summer.
Good for you. First thing when you land in a place you like and can afford is to build a strong and reliable support system. Good luck to you!
Thank you. I’m a mega-loner hermit and where I’m going is a very small town. If there’s a place for me in the community there I’ll give it a shot, but even if not, I still think I’ll be a lot better off than I am now.
