Opportunities for Growth, 2023 edition

General
I really don't know what to say about 2022 that hasn't been said already. For most people across the globe it's been a total shitshow. And while in the stage of world news I can't really say anything good happened, one of the things I can say is that I'm surprised about how much of my New Year's resolution I achieved last year, getting my own apartment and becoming fairly independent, getting a job and sticking with it, hell I've got two jobs now. I'm doing it, I'm being a grown up!
Life is still far from perfect and I'll be the first to say that I've got a long ways to go in a lot of different metrics. Some of the things I'm fairly proud of myself is that I haven't had an emotional breakdown about being single and hopeless in almost 8 months, I haven't been overwhelmed with Despair and distress, and I've been able to put plans and goals together to reach the next steps in personal growth.
Attitude-wise, I'm looking to try to grow my confidence this year. I'm always second-guessing myself in a lot of things, I don't speak up for myself in friend groups when my peers start getting bashed for our differences, while I feel more confident in my abilities than I previously did in the Years prior I'm still very much socially a coward and I'm looking to change that.
Skill-wise I've got several construction plans I intend to do throughout the year including build myself some furniture like a bed frame so I can stop sleeping on the floor, and I'm hoping that those will keep my carpentry skills sharp and teach me a thing or two about the finer aspects of interior design and construction.
I'm looking to start gardening this year and I'm already Gathering a list of things I want to grow, like Asparagus, Spinach, carrots etc, I recently got myself a free aloe plant that was left out on the free table and I think having a hobby like this could only be a benefit. I like the idea of merging myself with Leviticus in our Hobbies, he's a botanist that comes from a family of herbalists and alchemists, that would be neat to figure out how to make basic tinctures and tonics such as a lavender oil since I am an insomniac and that is one of its uses as but one example.
Lastly in Art, last year I made a commitment to do less NSFW and more family-friendly stuff and I'm rather pleased with the fact I was able to pull that off. The reason for that honestly is just a moral one: I don't want my wyvern who is symbolically my wife that I don't actually have, to be reduced to a sex object. I want her to have greater meaning than that, but as the story I'm writing has progressed, as the art has come and gone, and as fantasies even play out in my head I'm getting more comfortable with holding her in an intimate light, so I don't think I'm going to restrict myself this year as much as I did last year. So expect plenty of Levi x Fahroe lovins in 2023.
On the world scale I really hope this year is better for everybody but the most I can do is just be the best that I can be. I've got my goals that I'm aiming for, and I hope by reaching them I can do my part to make the world a better place.
Thank you for your support and thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope all of you have a great 2023!
