[hauntswitch]

I've seen a few of these sort of posts going around this year, so here are my personal mandates for 2024

The importance of being earnest

Wear your heart on your sleeve

Make effort in everyday mundanities (don't eat food from the pan, keep the reed diffuser topped up, polish boots, and that sort of thing)

Partake in the act of creation to keep the mental demons at bay

Play instruments until your hands bleed

Read poetry to find beauty despite the horrors

Write poetry to make beauty despite the horrors

Death to tiktok

Remember the value in reflecting upon the good as well as the bad

Satiate the insane hunger to know everything by reading as much as possible

Conscious improvement will beat intentional complacency to death with a bat

Draw things, even if they suck. Art is a sacrament

Run until it hurts, then run until it stops hurting

Succeed through stubbornness

Hope is a knight against misery

And finally, 12th doctor's regeneration speech, naturally.
