this has more lined up coincidentally than it has been a concerted effort, but I may for the first time actually have some new year's resolutions. my whole life I've resisted doing so due to a mixture of youthful rebellion that never went away, not wanting to set myself up for failure and a recognition for the arbitrary nature of setting goals based on the planet that I live just happening to rotate around its star.
but I kinda have shit that I wanna do this year! thoughts and feelings that have percolated through the last month while I have been too depressed to actually take initiative and action on things.
I write these more as a way to jog my own memory and use them as a reminder than to actually blog and share. but you lovely people can read them anyways!
-
get an acoustic drum kit and take lessons. I already have a first lesson lined up!
-
book and plan a trip to Japan. I already planned this for easter but came to the realisation that autumn would be better.
-
hit the "books" once again on my Japanese study. it's been great to just naturally read and watch things in Japanese lately but I wanna expand my vocab and grammar a bit more.
-
curb my sugar and salt intake. I'm not particularly unhappy with my weight or anything but I'd like to be healthier at least.
-
learn to drive. hopefully driving instructors will be a bit easier to find than the last time I tried towards the beginning of 2022!
-
get involved in more community events, especially queer/trans spaces. to an extent: I don't wanna burn myself out going out too much, but I don't wanna lose touch again.
-
get that fucking bathroom decorated already. we even have all the supplies just waiting here ready to be installed! we've had a bath in our living room for half a year!!! (it is filled with stuffed animals and it is pretty cool to be fair)
and that's about it. not strict goals, just things I would like to keep in mind when it comes to what I wanna be doing with my time outside of work.
