My dog Mina is my literal child and she follows me around all day. I am much more confident raising her than I was in 2021
My relationship, how I am learning to be a part of a team, and how vulnerable I have to be every day. Iâm learning new things and not always putting myself first. I am not scared to ask for what I need anymore
My home with my boyfriend and our two dogs :) I feel safe, supported, creative, and loved. We have so much to do around the house but I love figuring it all outÂ
My job at a small creative agency where I am challenged and supported every day :) Iâve grown into myself so much after taking a huge risk leaving the comfort of my 8 year corporate marketing job for this and it worked out beautifully. I love that I work remotely and get summer Fridays and get work/life balance and Iâm so proud of it
My friendships and learning how to nurture them after covid kept us all inside for so long
My parents for their good health, always being there for Mina and me, and thriving in retirementÂ
Working out and feeling nice and listening to podcasts and dissociatingÂ
All the opportunities and nice things I was able to do this yearÂ
Things I did in 2022:
Went to Portugal with the love of my life
Took so many trips - Vermont, Newport, Providence (had my first ever surprise birthday thing!), New York, the Berkshires, Boston, Little Compton, Portland, Boothbay, Ipswich, Salem, etc.
Saw the 1975 again! And a bunch of other shows like Soccer Mommy, Alvvays, Beach House, Felice Brothers, and everyone at the Newport Folk FestÂ
My best friend got married!Â
I got Taylor Swift tickets lolÂ
I spent a lot of money this year and didnât move my body as much as Iâd liked because I was going through so many life changes, like moving in with my boyfriend, adjusting to new chores and projects, working really hard at my new job, and learning how to raise a dog. I was s t r e s s e d, to say the least, and went into autopilot. I ended up so down that I was scared Iâd need medicine again.Â
2023 is going to be all about coming back to myself, remembering what makes me me, and becoming the best version of her. I think a lot about when I was little and I have no idea what little me thought the future would be. I know I wanted to be a British witch writer, but I donât have any recollection of any dreams I had of relationships or family stuff. After college, I couldnât see past the end of my nose and was focused on dating art boys and never thought about my 30s, 40s, or 50s.Â
Nonetheless, I want to make little me proud and do this all for her. That includes being gentle with myself, being healthy, and staying true to what I like and how I like to live.Â
guys when they think a girl is hot: she is objectively attractive
girls when they think a guy is hot: yeah hes hot but only if you think of a german coal mine from 1882 that hes forced to work in to provide for his family of 12. he gives off that vibe
ah yes⌠november. the month that used to belong to one direction and their album releases and the inevitable album leak that always occured the week of said album release.
honestly imagine being mary shelley. its the fucking early 1800s. weâre barely out of the era when people thought women reading novels would lead to like debauchery and premarital sex. the weather is just fucking bonkers in yonkers. everybodys clothes looked like they oughta weigh two hundred pounds. everyones goth but goth isnt a thing yet so they dont even know it. your kids are dying. your husbands dead. your friends are all probably doing coke. your doctor is also both doing and maybe prescribing coke. no electricity. people are out there just staring into the void and having clandestine affairs in graveyards or some shit just because theres nothing else to do. and whats that? youve just written frankenstein. girl what the fuck evenâ
