Happy (belated) New Year! I got sick a day or so before Christmas and I'm just now feeling somewhat close to normal again. I'm exhausted from working over the holidays and fighting that cold so I haven't been able to post anything. Not going to apologize for that, it is what it is.
I feel like talking about how I'm looking forward to the new year is a little disingenuous given the current political events. I don't even know if I was before this morning if I'm honest. Personally my goal is the same as always; survive the year. Though this year I'm making a lot in to work towards improving my living situation, even if it's small improvements I just want something better for us. I feel like that's reasonable! I feel like 2025 was a shitshow overall but it was my first year completely living on my own. I'm proud of myself for being Independent and a Functional Adult. Granted now I never want roommates because I love living by myself too much so I have to make this shit work.
I did end up making more art in 2025 which was a goal of mine, though I still hate to admit I don't think I'll ever reach the same output as I did back before 2019. Though now I'm a lot happier with my skills and how they're improving. I just have to make peace with the fact I'm a painfully slow artist now.
I think this year I definitely want to make more art and read more books. Like what do you mean I only read two fucking books last year? Good lord. And also write more blog post of course. Now that I'm off social media (I just casually browse only on my pc now tbh) I'm finding myself more inclined to write smaller posts here but I do want to write more longer entries too. I have a lot of topics I've been wanting to write about so this year I'm going to try and start writing more!
