something tells me that most people already did their goodbye to 2024 posts well before now

i’m not most people

2024 was full of highs and lows and real lows and super lows and incredible highs

how can you feel so beaten and so hopeful at the same time? i guess i know and i don’t have the right words to describe it hashtag future author or something

let’s start with the insanity

i wrote two books this year? i think? i think i have two fully finished first draft projects and i had every single audacity to submit them to chapbook publishers

i actually made a lot of submissions to journals last year – the audacity was audacitying. i got a lot of rejections aka everything i submitted was rejected. i have a few things still pending with fingers crossed but going into 2024 imma keep being audacious and keep submitting (first gonna be yolk i think).

i made a lot of physical work in school last year and sitting and creating changed something in me. i always wondered if i could return to accounting should i fail this endeavour. hello it’s 2025 me and i don’t think i can ever return. i want this.

2025 brings about the end of my college journey and what comes after is uncertain and scary. i have to learn to stick to my conviction or something i guess.

there’s more to talk about but i have a habit of creating drafts and never posting them so this website is now a journal and i’m tired of typing.

here’s to 2025!
