New Year's Resolutions

As cheesy as it sounds: I like to make New Year's resolutions. I've done it for a while as a tool to reach my goals I do recommend doing at least a few. I personally like to split them into categories and include a little bit of the smaller goals that would get me to the bigger goal.

Here are some of my 2025 New Year's resolutions:

Release TSW project

I'll have to be vague here, but I've been working on a big project for The Squeaky Wheel. It's fun, hilarious, and I hope it will be a big hit by this time next year!

Do a mini photoshoot

I haven't taken many recent photos and I need at least one good headshot for my writing. I'm turning 30 this year, so I might as well take a few more for fun and as a self confidence boost! I just don't need a lot of photos though, just a few!

Fix my tracheal stenosis

I was a soprano singer for many, many years and I absolutely LOVED to sing! Since all the neurological injuries, I've had tracheal stenosis, which causes hoarseness and other issues and I've been unable to sing. I would cry tears of joy if I could sing again!

Get muscle swelling and tightness under control

Another health one (shocking)! Since the recurring infections and all of that utter ridiculousness, I've been dealing with a lot of muscle swelling and tightness. It can get very painful and has been bothersome as I don't feel or look my best with it.

I've been working on it and improved a lot, so maybe with a few final things, I can get it completely taken care of!

Do more disability advocacy

It's unfortunately probably going to be a very difficult few years ahead for our community. With this and my general personality, I feel like those who can speak up and out will need to do so. If I'm at all able to help advocate for myself and my community in the new year, I'm going to do it.
