It’s January 2023 and we’re finally back to reality and prolly, dieting!!!
I will be honest with you, guys. Writing the update for January is kind of dreadful because you know, you get to sit down again in the corner of your room, take out your brand new journal and jot down your resolutions, plans, intentions, whatever for the year. And well, I am not yet ready to write them yet because my thoughts are still incoherent and add the fact that I am still torn between finally saying goodbye to 2022 and welcoming 2023.
So what’s on the drawing board for 2023? Well, as much as I don’t want to say this, I have a new journal (oh yeah) with new pens to match it, new mobile game (Terraria), new reads, and new resolutions. I already started populating my journal but I am still on the fence about the additional components that need to be included in it. I neither want the journal to be convoluted nor too simple. It just has to be something in between. Failing to arrive to a decision, I finally had thrown in the towel and just told myself, “screw this… whatever works…” So there you go, journaling problem solved.
I also started playing a new mobile game called Terraria and it has been in the market a decade ago but it has just gotten under my radar this January. It’s not as fun as Stardew Valley but it’s sufficient enough to while away the time or to relieve minor stress. But that’s just me; I find that there are more people playing the game compared to SDV but to each his/her own I guess.
With regard to crocheting, I find myself suffering from a slump which I can attribute to a lot of factors which are work (so many reports due this month! ughhh), vacation vibe, complicated crochet pattern which made me pause a lot and thereby, killing my momentum, and a new novel project ( i knowwwwwwwww!!!). Seriously, guys, I really want to at least get to the advanced/master level of crocheting because I want to create my own patterns in the future but perhaps, I am not motivated enough to crochet…crochet…crochet… every minute and every hour. Hahahahaha.
On top of crocheting, I am also nagged by different thoughts running through my head. So many projects to accomplish, so little time, so little resources… I know that I can get them in time with the right attitude, hard work, and patience but I am getting impatient… And there are days that I am just filled with regret cause if I had made different choices back then, I would have this and that already… but then, I’d shake myself up from self-pity and tell myself that there’s nothing that can be done except to move forward and be a better spender, decision-maker, and better person overall. I know that it will come in time, I am praying that I will never get tired of grinding until I get all of those things that I want for myself, my hubby, my relationship, my family, and my pets. And of course, being able to enjoy them until I perish.
So there’s my opening salvo for the year… I know that I didn’t talk too much about my resolutions or intentions but I think that I’m keeping them for myself because they’re too personal. So yeah, happy January to all of us! Cheers!
