Snowflake Challenge 3: Opinions Are Like Feathers...

...every bird has them.

I don't know if this is so much a fandom opinion as much as a fandom practice, but if my [redacted] years online have taught me anything, it's that I really do not have the energy to spend gleefully hating on things.  Even if it sucks.  Even if it's factually wrong.  If it's in any way within my control to avoid seeing a terrible hot take or avoid a fandom, I'll do it.  So long as no one's being hurt where it's within my power to help, I just do not have the spoons.

That does not mean I won't ever go into a group chat and have a good laugh at such things.  I ain't perfect.  But there is a certain level of ire and rage that I just no longer have the energy to expend by engaging with the willfully obtuse.

That said, I also no longer have the patience to be nice about certain behaviors.  You don't get to come uninvited into my house and then complain about the decorations.  It's my house.

Snowflake Challenge 4: Goals for the Gold

Or however that phrase goes.

A legitimately soul-crushing end of 2023 led into a not-much-better start to 2024, during which I still set the same or similar goals I'd set for years.  And yet, just by the time we hit February, I genuinely could have never guessed how 2024 would've ended for me.  And while I don't think the exact same types of things will be happening this year...

Well...

These first 11 days have felt about a month long each, so, who knows.

And, actually, most of the changes that have happened for me have been really good!  Some of them even great!  But if I couldn't "see" where I'd be by the end of the year in 2023, I'm really sure I wouldn't be able to for this year.

So my goals are going to be very broad, actually, and very light.

• Read
• Write
• Listen to music
• Play video games
• Pull some tarot cards
• Work through some online classes/courses
• Enjoy things as I can
