I find that hope is a very difficult emotion to hold. I can get cagey about anything that involves an element of change, or unreliability, by way of introducing reliance on others.
To that end, I'm looking forward to honouring my private tradition of bringing in the new year by listening to The Mountain Goats' This Year, which I have for many years now.
When I'm more mentally well, I enjoy working on a passion project- a novel. Assuming I could keep up a reasonable pace, it's not outlandish to think it might be finished sometime in the Spring. So, I am looking forward to accomplishing that.
I'd also like to play more solo journalling and solo TTRPG games, because there isn't the heartbreak of involving other people and issues with scheduling mishaps. Safer prospect.
Those are all things I can do for and by myself, so it's much more comfortable to indulge in hoping for.
For a slightly riskier prospect, I would like to talk to my brother more in the coming year. 2024 was devastating for both of us. I hope the coming year is kinder.
