2013 - 2014

Wow! It's a new year and I've been pretty busy. Things are still a little up and down since we've moved to a new city, but despite my past doubts, we are actually liking it here.

I have many resolutions, but one of them is definitely to blog and post more, here and on Tumblr, since we've left Facebook. We realize that it is strange an nearly unheard of to leave Facebook. We understand that it will get a little bit alienating, but we can honestly say we have been 99% happy with our decision about it. Somehow, my husband and I feel like there is a huge weight lifted off our shoulders.

There are many things I want to return to this year: lolita clothing, gaming, drawing, but I fear I may not be able to just yet. This year I want to concentrate on my heath. It's not that I can't get back to those hobbies or partake in them just a little bit, but It will be difficult to do them because of my heath issues. Mainly dental problems, weight gain (although I have lost 10 lbs: Awesome!), and the tendons in my hands being injured.

I'm excited and fearful about turning thirty this year. It's a struggle knowing that many people have expectations of a woman in their thirties, and pass a lot of nasty judgements. I am resolving to try and not let it affect me, because I don't want to live unhappily worrying about them. It'll be difficult to do since I've become quite sensitive and emotional over the past few years.

It hasn't been easy, since I am not the only one who has been having issues with recovering. My mother has had a breakup, and is re-discovering herself after a 20 year relationship.

This year seems to be themed to heath, self esteem, and wellness. That will be the most high priority for us, and you can never go wrong with that as a new year's resolution!

So cheers to you all in 2014 and wishes of health in all forms!

May this be a "feel good" year for you all!
