Some things I'd like to accomplish this year:

Not working all time time.

Allowing myself to eat food without feeling shame about it

Submit my poetry and short stories to submissions more.

Take days off (and not do other work)

Maybe look into dating again (I am poly so I miss being able to be with other people)

Not listeing to my brain gremlins when they tell me I'm awful

Practice my guitar and not be mean to myself and that it takes time to learn things.

Look into starting a mutual aid for queer disabled folks in Scotland.

Be bolder with my art and writing.

Take more naps or in my case lie down and wait for my brain to stop spinning around every stressful thing till I fall asleep.

Yeah I think I will get to some of these. Maybe the rest will just take longer and that's okay. Healing isn't linear that's for sure. Also dating while disabled in world where people can't be fucked to wear masks half the time is a whole bag of stress I have been avoiding for a while. I am in a relationship with a lovely hooman and we have always been poly but the last years it's just not been safe. I miss other folks in our relationship a lot but not enough to risk our health. Oooof big sigh.

I have been writing a lot more. I just need someone to help me apply to publishing opps. I'm dyslexic, autistic and have chronic health issues just existing is hard. Let alone navigating the ableist hellscape that is the publishing industry. Maybe I'll just self publish or do a kickstarter eventually for my books. Sure would be nice if someone saw my work and believed it enough to publish and pay me for it. Ah the dream.
