happy new year, vessel!
as you can tell, as of pretty recently ... there was a full on ⠀revamp⠀ of everything! as they say, new year, new me. but as you can also tell, i've been pretty inactive from everything for a lot of personal reasons. mentally, physically, and trying to rediscover myself.
i spent a lot of the last half of 2025, and in turn, the ⠀first part⠀ of this year with a lot of damaging health anxiety. my first ever er trip in a long time, countless appointments and panic attacks... but you can't have positives without some negatives, right?
so... let's recap!
⠀december 2025⠀, the new year celebration of my dreams :') i spent my first ever new years out of my house, with the friends closest to me and my beautiful girlfriend!!! and in turn, my first ever new years kiss! what a joy! (⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎)
there's not much to say about the trip itself - we went to a lot of malls in search of a ben wyatt funko pop, played a lot of games (well, mostly watched a lot of megaman playthroughs), watched a few movies we've been meaning to for quite a while... a simple but always fun meetup!
i still have a lot to learn about being a normal human being i've learned - but i'm so grateful and glad to have such accommodating and accepting people in my life, especially in real life.
my girlfriend and i also watched the ⠀stranger things⠀ finale together in theaters - which was so cool !!! i have a lot of thoughts on the finale and the series as a whole that i'm saving for another post. i thought it was ... fine? it was really rough at times, but there's only so much you can do.
⠀january 2026⠀ - a pretty depressing month, admittedly. i spent a lot of it shrouded in my aforementioned health anxieties and spending a lot of money on said trips. i did finally compile my first cosplay in a long while! my interest in stranger things has come to a forefront again... so now i have a full will byers cosplay in my wardrobe! and a cozy new jacket :-)
all in all, 2026 has been a decent enough year so far even if it hasn't started off the best for my mental health. i want to stay hopeful for the future and there are lots of things i'm excited for this year! so let's list some of them!
