My Not-Resolutions but Things I'm Going to Do More
1- Poetry. I went to my first poetry event in late 2025, and I think I'm hooked. It was a love/vampire/horror themed event with a key focus on sex workers and legalization. One of the poets was a sex worker and she had some of the best poetry reading I ever heard. Not just her but everyone who was there as they spoke on the stage was like being in an unfamiliar city with them leading me down a side street to a cafe I would have never noticed if it was not for them.
I'm enthralled and I want to learn more. I already have another poetry slam I'm going to which is more of a general one for a few people in the space. I even picked up a book on the topic and a selection of poets throughout history. Poets are just so cool, like the underground rockstars that don't get enough credit.
2- More tattoos. I have two small-ish ones on my legs and its the first time I ever felt in control of my body. For a long time I was told no on many things by my family. I love them dearly, but they have a clear mindset on how people should look and be. So, they have to deal with something different for once. Sorry not sorry. I have more planned!
So yeah, here you go. Wanted to share.
Happy New Year.
