No idea how I'm going to do a 2023 reading wrap up since it feels like all my brain cells go dormant whenever I have a day or two off.
I'd hate to go into 2024 with that energy but it's the reality. I would love this year to get less stressful, less exhausting, less lonely. But I really don't know how I can make that happen when this is just my reality.

my goals for 2024 ♡
(writing this while suffering from a violent, truly treacherous stomach ache, but im being very brave about it, so pls ignore any typos as im fighting for my life fuck u taco bell :3)
1. stay consistent to my workout split!
this one is really important to me cuz lately ive been having a hard time staying consistent to my workouts; but I genuinely feel better after working out!! so I wanna make sure im not skipping any days and powering through this new year.
2. start listening to more podcasts when im bored (instead of doomscrolling)
at the moment, social media has been making me really sad. let's face it: im not as "relevant" as I used to be and I don't really have motivation or ideas like I used to when it comes to content creation; so doomscrolling makes me feel like im not doing enough. i always feel better after listening to a good self-help podcast, though. I'll link my current fav down below.
3. write more songs!
if u guys don't know this, im a songwriter and an aspiring (lowkey shitty) singer but nonetheless aspiring. writing songs is not only fun, but it's a hobby i can bring myself to do even when im depressed and don't feel like doing anything. sometimes depression can even help my songs be more interesting.
4. get tickets for a concert
when life gets really hard, I love going to a concert. music has always been my favorite thing in the world. it's a language that everyone can speak in my opinion. i love live shows! having a concert to look forward to during hard times helps me so much. so getting tickets, especially if the concert is late in the year, will help me stay even on my hardest days until the show.
5. do homework on time
I'm trying to be more honest, so I'm gonna tell yall the truth (even tho it's extremely embarrassing). i am so bad at school. I have like. 2.2 gpa, and at the moment, I can't get into my dream school that has a 95% acceptance rate. humiliating tbh. im homeschooled, and it's hard to be motivated to do homework, and once u miss one day, it all piles up. so I'm gonna try to do my homework on time to avoid this. it's my senior year in fall, and i don't want it to be bad.
6. stay off tiktok & twitter
tiktok and twitter have been making me feel so awful recently. even with my tiktok followers, it doesn't feel the same as it used to. i don't have the passion to make those really cool original videos i used to make. so until I find that spark again, im going to stay off the platform.
7. start posting 2 youtube and my podcast
my original plan when I started this whole social media thing almost 2 years ago, at this point, was to be a 2010s-style youtuber. my tiktok videos that I posted for fun were the ones that did numbers, though. i miss posting well thought out, youtube videos that I love, and im proud of. i miss using my podcast as an outlet to talk about my feelings and help people who feel the same way feel less alone. i want to get back into this habit next year.
8. say I love you more
regret is more powerful than gratefulness, and i don't wanna be the person who regrets not saying i love u to someone before something happens between us.
u will have an amazing new year. trust the process ♡

I use compression gloves to handle my chronic pain. I get called "badass" for wearing them. This is irritating in ways I find hard to voice.
Like, my silly little compression gloves are far less badass than someone dealing with a mobility device in public. Those of you who do are badass for withstanding the ableism that those devices bring you.
I know this is completely obvious, but I think there's something to be said about encountering ableism for using assistive items because they don't fit into society's aesthetic standards. My compression gloves only look "badass" because, to the average member of society, they look vaguely like something they saw the caricature of a "punk/goth/emo" teen wearing
