I don’t usually like New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve maybe been convinced to do a few things that are unlikely to actually get done.

1. Draw blorbos. Fill up a sketchbook of blorbos (this is a specific sketchbook, which has 60 pages). Aside from feeling like I can’t draw whenever I try to draw, there’s also the weird shame that prevents me from being able to draw things I just like… I’ve always been envious of those twitter artists who could just churn out picture after picture of blorbo so maybe by the end of the year I will no longer have said mental block and be able to draw my own old man yaoi.

2. Read 10 novels. More than last year for sure but not a ridiculous amount, pretty doable.

3. Actually use the planner, stickers, post cards, etc.

4. I deleted twitter from my phone. Not really a New Year’s resolution, as in I’m not going to consider myself to be a failure if I put it back. But right now it’s gone.

Not a part of the resolutions but I am also thinking of building the website, Rebranding™️ and etc… I am thinking of maybe making a gallery of liminal space images on Neocities. That’s something I don’t need to feel like I’m totally competent at to begin with, at least.

Anyway. Yesterday I went to get a massage and it was different than usual. Most of the time there are only a couple spots that are a bit painful, and I grin and bear it, but this time much more was painful, to the point that I even flinched away. I had been seeing the same guy a few times and I asked him what seemed different this time, and he said that I seemed more present this time. So I guess this is what you get for being mentally present, huh, you regain the ability to feel pain. I still felt better afterward, but even a few hours after and even now over a day later I am trying to keep my body from re-tensing up and I feel like I’m mostly failing. It’s hard to tell exactly what’s wrong, or how to fix it, alas.

Happy New Year!

New year means switching out last year's journals and planners for this year's, which is the most exciting thing we can hope for given the state of the world.

2020 journal is now archived and is thus far the thickest since I started in 2018. I've no doubt this is because this year I had a Stickii club subscription and in the middle of the year bought a color printer, which can bulk up these things fast. I don't know how much of it is because of the pandemic I had more time to write and decorate, though. There are a significant number of blank pages as well as pages with lots of stuff glued in.



This year I'm leery of making resolutions because of the state of the world, so I just pasted in some vibes to bring into the new year in the new book.



2020 caught me offguard but 2021 will have to fuck around and find out.
