Happy New Year everyone!

I'm gonna be taking a bit of a tumblr break, but I hope everyone has a fun and safe NYE and I wish you well for 2026 <3

#august talking

Heading downtown to be with friends for NYE, and my transit card didn't work when I was boarding the bus but the driver just waved me on

Perhaps this is a cosmic rebalancing for the transit nonsense I dealt with on the 27th

#appreciate it <3 #august talking

wholeheartedsuggestions

here’s to all the things you survived quietly and privately this year

wholeheartedsuggestions

here’s to all the things you survived loudly, to the dead horses you beat, to the shit that makes you scream

#i'm holding your hands and we're going to walk into the new year together

at this time of year you might be tempted to create new rules for yourself, if you do, make sure that they are designed to serve you, not to punish yourself for imperfection.

every time i ask people if they do any new years resolutions its all ooooo i dont like making them bc i fail or ohhhhh no i couldnt keep up wiht that and then when they ask me and i tell them about Pasta Quest (i am eating as many different pasta shapes as possible in the space of a year) or when i did Fruit Adventures (every time i saw a fruit i had never eaten before id get one and eat it and read the wikipedia article about it) theyre like hang on i forgot you can make Fun Ones i want a fun one

while i actually made this post back in May, since New Year’s is approaching here’s some of my fave suggestions from the tags if you’re looking for inspiration!

other favorites from the notes I didn’t get screenshots of at the time:

learn the names/species of local plants, bugs, and birds where you live (iNaturalist or Merlin the bird app help with this)

learn the rules to 10 new card games

steal the colored paint cards from hardware store paint aisles and use them to make art

try out every different apple variety you can find and rank them

similarly LOTS of people in the notes doing soup quests, and a few cheese quests also

similarly lots of people reading/watching certain amounts of media over the year, and tracking/rating it

track the number of cats/dogs/etc you see over the year

there’s plenty more in there too :)

Woke up at like 5am feeling super anxious, complete with physical symptoms. Messaged my sister and she offered to call, and we just got off like an hour long video chat <3 Feeling way way better

The pharmacist did in fact warn me that this new medication might decrease my appetite and honestly I didn't actually think it would. But yeah damn, I just don't get hungry a lot of the time now. I've been on it for just a week so I'm wondering if that will change as I adjust, but I'm shocked at how much of an affect it appears to be having.

#key word: appears. as a good scientist I can't claim that this is the result of the drug exclusively. there may be other factors #tw food #just to be safe #i think I might have to set timers for myself to have meals if this continues cause when I'm back to living alone in my apartment i can -#see myself just forgetting to eat #and while i wouldn't say i have a bad relationship with food i definitely feel that I've always been susceptible to that kind of thinking #so i need to try very hard not to let myself lean into that subconsciously #I guess I'll just have to wait and see and try to pay attention #august talking

We got a ton of freezing rain yesterday, and then hours of regular rain after that, so the road conditions probably aren't great today

But I'm hoping I can go for a drive later cause I could use some alone time to sing

#also I miss driving when I'm not here so it would be nice to do more while I can #also also I still wanted to see if I can find another book for the flight back. gonna look at second-hand shops first #august talking

Pair of foxes in our backyard this morning???

I got a picture of both of them looking straight at us thru the windows, but you'll just have to trust me on that cause you can see too much of the backyard and beyond for me to be comfy posting it. However,

:3

#they were so cute omg #seemed young. maybe siblings #august talking

I know it's an inevitable fact of life that you'll sometimes have to comfort the people you care about when you yourself are in need of comfort, but could we just switch up the roles for once

#i'm tired #this specific post is about my sister and it's not worth getting into the details #but I just wish I could expect support and care when I'm the one who needs it #I dunno. I have more to say but I'm just tired #august talking

Kinda feel like playing BG3 again after idk how long

Hopefully it's enough to occupy my brain cause I'm having a hard time again today

#the dream (a lingering feeling more than anything specific).#the name in the book.#my mum reminding me to ''be here now'' - not in those exact words but close enough.#you're everywhere I look today #august talking

Gonna have to pick a different book to read unfortunately. Made it only a chapter in but one of the main characters is named... something that hurts to see right now

#a name and also a tag I suppose I won't see again #fuck.#and I had been doing so well with not crying #august talking

Stuck in my head

#stuck in my head again #and dreamt of you #fuck.#august talking

#listened to these three back to back again for the first time in idk how long and remembered exactly why I love this band #also listening to them loud af in my headphones and it's healing something #feels good to be coming back to them #sleep token #august talking

That was sooooo fun, I'm so glad I got to go and spend time with with friends and close acquaintances. I wish I had more time there but I'm pushing it as is cause of my transit arrangements.

I hadn't seen most since the wedding but they've always been so lovely to me. I do wish I could see them more, and actually [redacted] offered for us to hang out one more time before I go back to [redacted] so I should really take her up on the offer.

Also FUCK I just hauled ass to make the bus and just made it. Kinda proud of my hustle

#wish I could see them all more. I've really enjoyed this group and especially I wish I could see my one friend more #(i.e. the birthday girl and the core of the group in question)#I think if i have any new years resolution it's to focus on my social life. Maintaining friendships and building new ones #huge asterisk on that which I shan't address right now #Either way I'm on the bus home and I'll have plenty to think about but for the moment I think I need some music #august talking

In other news, I put my contacts in the wrong eyes this morning

#thankfully caught it quickly enough to swap them cause we're heading out in less than an hour for xmas part 2 #august talking
