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?

    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. 🤘

    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.

        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!

          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

    I have the same problem… um I guess the resurgence of 80s style things again? Seems like a lot of people love the designs (I always have) and more and more stuff is trying to mimic that style. Also the resurgence of records and tapes is good, we need to own our media again and stop streaming. Also VR improving will be fun if we can keep corpo shit out of it

    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!!

    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!
