Howdy y'all!

It's been a few busy months for me going into the new year and so much has changed for me personally...

For starters, I bought a house!! I never thought that at the age of 25 I would be a homeowner, but all the hard work and saving that went into this finally paid off! It was such a grueling process but just short of Christmas, I finally closed and have been adjusting to living on my own. As someone who's so used to noise, it's always so weird how... quiet it is. Still super surreal even into the new year as I'm still getting things set up. The place needs a lot of love, but it's mine all the same <3

I've never been one for new resolutions, but I honestly want to get back into art and writing. Since I'm now on my own it means that I can do things freely and on my time. I don't expect to get into it right away, with house improvements and obligations, but I definitely want art and writing to be a priority for me this year moving forward!

I've meet so many great people this year too, with some I've gotten to know a bit better. It honestly makes me so happy! I was at my lowest a few years ago and I can't imagine how so many aspects of my life improved since then. I love my job and am well paid and respected (ironic as I work retail), have two loving partners, great friends (both irl and online), and now — homeowner!! I literally can't be happier and my heart skips a beat thinking about it sometimes!

Despite being a realist, I always try to think on the bright side of things and I think it's paying off!

Hopefully we'll all have a great year moving forward. Spreading my good vibes out to you! And as always, stay safe out there <3
