These are some of the things that I'm hoping for in the coming 2020 year:

• Optimism unbridled with no necessary reason. I say this because I often feel like I need a REASON to think happy thoughts... but yanno what? Fuck that. I want 2020 to be a year filled with unrepentant joy simply because I want to be a happy and healthy human being. That's all the reason I need.
• A deep-seated sense of calmness and peace, comfort and joy. I continue to strive for these qualities as my emotional baseline, as it has worked WONDERS for my mental health in the past couple of years.
• I want to wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed every day. Or, if not every day, then at least as often as I possibly can. I love waking up with rose-colored glasses in my mind.
• An eager willingness to try new things and go to new places. I've got a vehicle with 4-wheel drive now, and I should be using it to go exploring around Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, something I've ALWAYS wanted to do.
• I want to spend more time playing with Medusa & taking her to places with me.
• More genuine effort on my part to connect with other people and make new friends. This one will take some deep personal work on my part, because I've become quite reclusive in the past few years and also because people are my greatest fear in this world. But I very much want to improve my relationship with humanity and make some great memories with new friends.
• Stronger, clearer personal & professional boundaries. And better communication of them.
• Crystalization of my own magickal rituals, symbolism and beliefs. By "crystalization" I mean a form of creation in which I mix together different elements that already exist in the Universe in order to create something unique and meaningful.
• More Nature worship, and worship through mundane activities.
• I want to remember I can always put my headphones on and listen to some binaural beats whenever I need to concentrate, relax, or calm down.
• I want to take more selfies and make random videos just for fun.
• I want to better cultivate within myself a deep-seated sense of love for all. This goes hand-in-hand with my desire to make new friends with other people.
• Pampering my physical body more often. This means more spa days and much more masturbation.
• More water, more fruits & vegetables, more stretching. Can't really go wrong with these. This goes hand-in-hand with pampering my body more often.
• More writing and reading. Yes, in that order. I have an entire universe inside my head that needs to come out, and there's an entire universe outside of me that needs to come in.
• Creation of bad art just for the practice. Also, just creation of more art just for the practice, without trying to make every single thing into a masterpiece.
• More art studies and random sketching from life, movies, photographs, etc.
• HAPPY SMUT CREATION
• I'm hoping 2020 will be the year of Finishing Projects I've Already Started. Because I already have a LOT of those.
• I want to spend more time cooking and baking delicious food. Not just because I CAN do it & it would help save me money, but also because preparing food can be quite relaxing for me, especially if I devote an entire day to it.
• Maybe I'll pick up quilting again in 2020??? I created a quilt for Q many years ago and it was so much fun. I've thought about quilting again for several years but haven't pursued it yet...
