I hope everyone had a Happy New Year, whether you partied or just slept through it. I stayed up late and watched Red Line with some friends before we watched the ball drop, which was a lot of fun.

I haven't journaled much over the last few years, and thought it might be nice to put some thoughts down and order them a little, thinking about the year gone by and my goals for this next one. It was a year of ups and downs, we lost my father who I had a difficult relationship with, I basically didn't lose any of the weight that it was my goal to, and split with my boyfriend. (We are still good friends, it just didn't work.)

A lot good happened too, got to go to both Anthrocon and MFF, met some cool people in the furry and vore communities, I only missed five days of Voretober, and we won a Strike at my job. It's been a roller coaster of a year, but it's over now.

Looking back and thinking forward, I hope to make more friends, and be part of the art and furry community more. I feel like I've been on the edges of these places, I have friends in them but I myself feel like someone who has sit out afraid I wouldn't fit in. I'm more than a little jealous of those who can so casually be vorny on main and talk to a whole community about it. I'm going to try and open up more and push myself out of that comfort zone.

I also hope to make more art and animation this year. I have a few ideas, but when the depression hits because work is way too long and I'm tired, it can be hard to put pen to paper. I don't know if I want to set a goal with it, but I want to do it more.

As with last year, I will set some goals for my weight, and some rewards! I want to get under 300, and if I can do that I kind of want to get a partial of TK, head, paws, and tails. Huge if I can, but... we'll see. I'm mostly calorie counting, which has done me well in the past. If I can get under 250, thinking about upgrading to a full suit!

I think that's it. I just wanted to kind of order and sort my thoughts a little. It's been a year, there will be another one, and we'll strive to be and do better.
