So looking back at 2016, needless to say it was a bit......rough for a lot of people as a whole for a number of reasons lol. Numerous celebrity deaths throughout the year and a (imo) questionable president elect have definitely made 2016 leave a sour taste in some people's mouths. I lost my great grandmother this year but for the most part it wasnt "unexpected" given how old she was. Not many ppl can say they lasted a century in this world.
For me personally, it felt like just another year. Nothing really good nor bad happened this year compared to any other year so I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing. Financially I am in a much better situation than I was last year so that's definitely a plus!
As far as new year's resolutions, I normally don't make/have any since I will likely forget about them in like a week anyway xD. But this time I feel I should attempt to make a few.
1) A relationship would be nice. Admittedly, I haven't been in a serious one for a while now xD. So for 2017 I'll try to do better on the that front. Who knows, maybe some nice lady will sweep me off my feet (nothing against the guys out there that may be attracted to me haha). Extra bonus points if she is active in the fandom, or otherwise knows about it and is cool with it lol
2) Attend my first con. I hope to make 2017 the year I attend my first ever con. No idea which one and it may be difficult given my work, but would love to go to one. Maybe even invest in a partial or full suit eventually! If anyone has advice in that regard I'd like to know your opinion of it. Like which cons you enjoyed most, planning, etc.
3) Visit more peeps from the fandom irl. Earlier this year during the summer I had the pleasure of meeting @RichardPhotograph and his gf. Was the first person I met from the fandom irl and it was a fun experience! (for me at least, hopefully it was for them too x3). For 2017 I want to make an effort to try to visit more peeps I have interacted in this fandom over the years but never got to meet in person. I know between April and May I have leave (subject to change) and I have talked to a few people about visiting them if time and days permitted so I'm pretty excited about that!
4) Maintain some level of happiness or positivity even when things get tough (and they always do at some point). I'd like to think I'm pretty good at this normally so it's more of a "reminder" more than a "new year's resolution" thing, but thought I should put it down anyway.
I may think of some more later as we get closer to the new year but that's all I could think of for now.
How about y'all? I'd love to hear any new year's resolutions any of you might have, or goals you want to carry into next year. :)
P.s. Sorry for the long read. I normally don't make journals at all, let alone long ones lol
