Happy New Year!

Time goes faster as an adult. So many things I was told I would understand when I'm older—( small USAn political rant )—but I do see that time goes faster.

My abuela isn't doing well. ( cessation of life & jokes about being eaten because I'm an irreverent ass )

And now for something completely different! Here's some new resolutions, more short term this year:

In the next three months, I want to nurture my creativity by engaging in active recreation—by this I mean rather than passive consumption of media, I wish to create new works while engaging with the world around me in a relaxing and nourishing way.

I want to encourage my inner critic to release its vehemence which was necessary when it worked so hard to shield me from harmful and toxic soul-crushing, and now can transmute into a gentle and thoughtful advisor.

I would like to meditate regularly. I choose to set my intentions to be concrete here by meditating before lunch every day. No restriction on length—5 minutes would be fantastic. Just every day or as regularly as I can.

I'm proud of my desire to grow.
