Yay
- Got paid out really nicely by my insurance, was able to afford some things I always wanted but never had money for

- Started caring a bit less about football. Just feels less important when you cant be there.
Nay:
- Covid meaning only a few concerts in the beginning of the year, cancelled shows I really wanted to go to and no football at stadium. The type of shit I usually travel for.
- Was told it's time to get listed for a liver transplant, and did... which is extremely stressful, just to be waiting for a phone call. Especially when i've already been called in twice and had it called off.
- Feeling sick and tired all the fucking time

Expounding:
Yay-wise, I developed myself a lot over 2020, realizing I can love myself and I don't have to conform to others' expectations, leading me to abandon my meal ticket to pursue ✨art✨, which could end up being the stupidest decision of my life but for now I'm counting it as a Yay. I also finally came out to my parents, and I would say at least Trump didn't get re-elected but fuckface can't take the hint and go away quietly (if that was ever an option.) COVID shutting some things down had a mild benefit for me in some ways, too.
Gay-wise, I'm going on two years without getting laid, so aside from taking advantage of National Coming Out Day, the year was definitely the least gay in recent (and not-so-recent) memory for me. :shaq2
Literally everything else: Nay as fuck.
