Subject: This year my goal's a doozy.
In reply to: JeffsFort 's message, "Imagine Magazine Question for 1/15" on 03:34:16 12/20/24 Fri

Last year messed me up something fierce. I was so busy taking care of my dying mother, I wasn't around for Com, and within a couple months, I lost them both. I spent the second half of the year teetering between grief and guilt and a depression so heavy I don't think I even knew what depression was before that.

My goal for 2025 is to figure out how to gather up all the scattered pieces and rebuild my life. Before this past year, I hadn't known what real loss felt like. While my grandparents have all died in my life time, I never got the privilege of getting to know them all that well. I was sad when the passed, but nothing like this. It'll take some time to figure out what life is going to look like without two of the most important and influential people I've ever known. All I really know for sure is it's time to start figuring out how to move on.

As a side-resolution, I'm going to make a goal to draw more. For fun, that is. I haven't drawn for fun in a long while, so now seems like a good time to get back into it.
