it's 2019, and that means I have an obligation to post about the changing of the year. normally people write about their resolutions for the new year, but I have a rule about not limiting my resolutions to a single day. I don't really do new years resolutions, I just make resolutions whenever they feel appropriate. so it's hard for me to know what to write here.

instead I will just wish everyone a good year, and wave goodbye to the old year. we're gonna make this a good one. here's to positive relationships, good luck, making lots of money on your commissions and getting all your bills paid on time. here's to warm hugs and light laughter, good food and drink, soft kisses, and cuddly pets (whether you are a dog person, a cat person, or some other animal of choice you keep in your home).

for all that said, I do actually have some resolutions that just so happen to line up with the New Year this time around! I'm resolving to keep the past in the past and not dwell on old mistakes, whether they be in love, projects, finances, or friendships. anything I did wrong is not something I have to pine over or repeat.

I also resolve to put more effort into my financial prospects, and seek out work, including putting alot of energy and focus into writing my book and practicing my drawing and writing.

and this is also the year I plan to make my new life in Oregon, with a boyfriend I love as my eventual nesting partner, in this beautiful city of Eugene.

again, Happy 2019, everyone! I hope it's a good year for all of you~
