This year I'm going to make a change. How it will look exactly I'm not quite sure yet, but I will never get anywhere if I continue to hide away because of anxiety. My career will go nowhere and my friend circle will continue to shrink. And I've clung on to friends who didn't necessarily deserve it because my circle was so small already I was afraid to lose more. And relationships with other friends died away because I didn't put effort into continuing them, and from their perspective, they probably assumed I didn't want to associate with them anymore when in truth I just convinced myself I was a burden to anyone I spoke to.

I will commit myself to interact somewhere each day, outside of my immediate friend circle, as well as inside of it. I don't want to commit to a certain platform for a couple reasons; I don't want to make a second small bubble and hide again, and I don't want to chain myself to something that's not working. So I'll try and do as much as I can in as many places as I can but that may be difficult for me.

Twitter, facebook, various discord groups, maybe PMing friends I don't keep in touch with enough on telegram or twitter, here, I don't know. Something somewhere each day if not more than that. And more art.

Fox and I plan on moving out of our apartment and into a house soon, a house where I can turn a room into my own studio so I can get the necessary isolation to work on my art, I anticipate my output to increase this year. But that won't mean much if I'm otherwise a mute and unapproachable. I need to not be afraid of social interaction and get more used to it, especially with people I don't know, and people I only kinda know.
