Reflection
As I said in the previous post, finally getting medicated for ADHD has felt like coming out of a tunnel I didn't even realize I was traveling through. I'm hoping that getting on these meds and staying off the BC will help get my mind back on track and signal an end to the weird mental and emotional roller coaster I've been on for the past two years. Here's to hope! \o/
Even though I feel much better now, 2023 was pretty much a wash for me, so now I'm looking ahead to taking care of things that fell by the wayside during the year, mainly fic and fandom things.
❀ Read and comment on gift fics!
❀ Reply to comments languishing in my AO3 inbox since 2021(!)
❀ Reply to fic prompts (as I said, Fic or Treat might be Stocking Stuffers, or even NYE Party Poppers)
❀ Reply to prompts, asks, and memes on Tumblr (some also dating back to 2021; looking back, I think it's evident when my mental health began slipping)
❀ I signed up for Fannish Fifty this year, but didn't even get started, so I'm pushing that forward into 2024, and making it a multi-year project, if necessary.
❀ Go through my overstuffed Drafts folder on Tumblr, post and cull as necessary.
❀ Work on an outfit and a routine for a new burlesque act (a local show is taking applications until the end of January, and I'd like to give it a shot, even if I don't get accepted)
There's more, I'm sure, but that list is enough for the moment. With maybe one or two exceptions, I won't be starting on these until after Christmas, but they do give me a nice list of things to do during the post-holiday lull.
On a lighter note, even though it wasn't particularly productive for me, 2023 wasn't entirely terrible. I had some exciting firsts, and discovered a hobby and community I really enjoy. I'm looking forward to the holidays, to working day shift for a few weeks (yay!), and to bobbing along on the rest of the year as it slides on by.
Hope everyone is doing well, and here's looking forward to a cozy and peaceful end of year and a hopeful year ahead. :)
