wow so I ended the year with my last drawing being the most popular post I’ve ever had here. thank you all for the likes and reblogs. And Hi all new followers! 👋
That the Gävle goat ended up being eaten by jackdaws seems a weirdly poetic way for this year to end. I’ve had some of the highest highs and lowest lows ever during this year. I’m going to see this year’s devoured end of the goat as a sign that if something is meant to happen gods/fate will find a way, maybe in a surprising way.
2023 was the year I finally crashed due to continually pushing myself to breaking point trying to meet everyone’s expectations. I finally looked inwards and asked myself, what am I doing? can I keep doing this? and what do I even want?
I’m still sort of lingering on the “pause button”, and I still don’t have the answers I’m looking for but I think 2024 will be a year when I have to make some really difficult decisions and in general be brave about a lot of things.
My biggest wish for next year (other than finding my path) is for the world to get on a better trajectory, I’m worried sick about the ongoing genocides, environmental changes/catastrophes, rise of fascism as well as the upcoming election in the US. I also truly hope to be able to continue doing a lot of activism in 2024, it really helped me with feeling a sense of purpose and finding hope. And I do have hope that things will get better, I mean what are we without hope?
I’m sorry for the sudden wall of text, I just felt like writing and it doesn’t happen often.
I wish you all the best 2024 you can possibly get, one filled with safety, love, growth and kindness ✨💕
