For a few years, I had made it a habit to write some sort of end-of-year wrap-up, train-of-thought type of journal post and upload it to this website. And, well, there's a time for all things - the last journal I shared on my DeviantArt profile was a promotion for a roleplay group on the 4th of January 2020. Some time has passed, hasn't it? I remember that the inspiration for those journals was a friend of mine. Her words were inspiring: she wrote about the bad, but also the good things that had occurred over the span of a year, and in doing so also painted a picture of how much time a year actually is and how many things happen. Big and small things. Even when she was going through incredibly hard times, I recall reading her words and feeling hopeful for better times to come. I did not re-read my old journals before beginning this one. A mistake? Possibly. Who knows how many times I will repeat myself or write something that, upon scrutiny, turns out to be mistake-ridden.

My January My year is off to a decent start. We celebrated my 30th birthday. That’s right, momma’s 20s are over. What do I really want out of life? How do I want my 30s to be different from my 20s? I’m taking time to re-evaluate my life and art goals. The latter consists of making at least one major artwork per month (the hope is that I can eventually increase this number); perfecting my art style; and ultimately, writing and drawing my story. The good news is I am making progress!! Still in the writing stages, but it’s slowly coming together. My main life goal right now is to get my energy back. I’m going to exercise more and not eat so many snacks. My goals for February are to make another major artwork (my January artwork is nearly complete!) and finalize the basic plot of my story so I can move on to the next step. I just finished a draft last night! Watcher Check-in How is your new year going so far? Anything you have planned or are looking forward to? Mini Feature My good
