OP here, I didn't expect to see this thread still up, but here we are.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the kind words and honest advice. Back in late December was probably the most depressed I've ever been in my life. Compounded with the fact that I saw none of my family for Thanksgiving prior to that, as well as being alone on Christmas and New Years. Multiply that by me just turning 23 it felt like a punch in the gut. I was pretty much depressed all throughout January as well. Which is weird because I was never the type to be emotional or get very depressed about anything.
It's nearing March now and I feel better. I took the advice from the thread to heart and started focusing on being more spontaneous and adventurous with my free time.
I know this is a gay blog post or whatever but I wanted you guys to know you helped at least one stranger on the internet. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys.
