I don’t make em because I believe if I’m gonna change something it starts now.

But good luck to those that do!

I do themed years as per CGP Grey’s video about the idea. Last year was a year of Foundations, building myself up both for my mental health and for my music career, and this year I’m gonna start building a better life on that foundation.

… Or try to, at least. Forming a band with a buncha trans folks in Trump’s America is gonna be difficult, but what’s more punk than forming an almost exclusively trans rock band in the face of adversity?

Nope. I’m still alive.

Don’t really do new year resolutions but I am doing dry January which is going fine, and February is in sight!

My new years resolution is to spend less money and spend more deliberately.

January is wrapping up and I’m kinda shocked. I discovered that the estimate in my head of how much monthly house bills are is… off… by… a lot… I was just thinking about the monthly bills like water, electricity, internet, but failed to account for gas, groceries, restaurants, and repairs.

Now that I’m actually budgeting and tracking, I’m seeing what’s really going on.

It’s going well. My resolution this year was to focus on self-improvement and self-care. I started using the Finch app, which has helped tremendously. I’ve cleaned my depression nest, took steps to being more organized, started learning German again, joined a gym and am going consistently, and I’m taking better care of myself through diet and mindfulness.

The next step is tackling my anxiety by getting out of the house more, so my husband and I have been looking into nature trails and camping areas near us. Hopefully we’ll be jumping into that starting this weekend.

I only have one resolution this year.

My resolution was to finish up a bunch of small hobby projects.

So far, I’ve finished 5 of them. I feel good about it.

My goal has been to clear more of my book, video, and game backlog. I’m doing solid on the first, less so on the second, and okay on the third though I could deffo be doing better.

Perfect. None taken, none broken.

So far, so good on the real one (not buying weed anymore), but not great on the secondary one (hanging my laundry as soon as the washer is done instead of waiting too long and needing to wash it again).

Never made any. Don’t plan to.

quite well, I wanted to do more sports and I’m doing it for the first time in 2 years :)

I have never made a new years resolutions because I think waiting for a specific date to start making a change is stupid unless there is a logical reason to wait.

One of my exes was an alcoholic and she said she was going to go full sober on a specific date like a month in the future because it would be exactly 5 years since she started drinking or whatever. I told her that is possibly the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard and that if she was serious about going sober she should just be starting right away.

As far as I know she’s still an alcoholic to this day lol.
