#new years thoughts

[skruffie]

My resolutions aren't to "exercise more", they are to move my body in a way that makes me happy and feel centered. Not to "eat healthier" but learn more about the foods that make me feel better and more energized. Not to "get healthier" but actually start routine doctor and dentist visits before anything serious happens. To listen to my body. Not to "draw more" but to continue exploring my means of creative self expression. Not to "puzzle piece my family tree together" but to enrich my mind with research and reconnection. Not to "start therapy again" but to continue to renew my box of coping skills because the new year will continue to bring ups and downs. Not to "organize my physical spaces more" but examine where my executive dysfunctioning hits my life the hardest and try different things to make existing in these spaces a little more functional. I don't have end goals to finish by 12/31/2024, I just have things I want to do and keep doing.

Like. I think that it is important to aknowledge, as the year comes to a close and everyone is kind of reflecting on the last year, that good and bad can coexist and don’t cancel each other out. I started a job that feels good and gives me perspective for the future. I also had my first ever serious health problem that quite frankly scares me shitless. I did some things I've wanted to do for years but were always too scared to do, but there are many many more that I have not. I met cool new people but didn’t forge as close a connection to them as I would want. I'm constantly surrounded by people at work, still I feel incredibly lonely. I've grown, but not as much as I would have liked to. I didtanced myself from fandom (a good thing) and lost my motivation to write creatively (a not so good thing). I discovered my love for journalling. I made first steps to change things. I tried my best (and that is the most important thing). To call this year good wouldn’t be truthful, but neither would it be true to call it bad. A year in time is not a magical entity that is purely one thing. There’s good and bad and perhaps we should try to focus on the good things and work on implementing them more into our lives in the coming year, instead of solely focusing on the bad

I think a lot of people are forgetting that on tumblr fandom used to be practiced very differently. now everyone fucks off to their discords or tumblr groups to discuss everything with a select few, making tags be nearly only used for posting some finished fanworks or not at all

a decade ago people didn't have tumblr groups. people didn't even have dms. if you wanted to talk to anyone about anything you had to make a post, or send an ask (which more often than not would get published and thereby become a post in the end too)

so next time you think "I have a fandom thought but I have to find a small group of hyperspecifically like-minded people to share it with in private" remember all the freaks you could be missing out on meeting by keeping the tags dead. use tags, make friends. fuck discord.

2024

(15 April 2024)

The usual post that will be on queue for the year. I'm writing this way later than I should. It's mid March lol

I don't really know what to expect from this year and how I will feel looking back. I did a lot of travelling last year and i feel like this year i don't have the travel bug as much. I know I want to see a grand prix (and have already at Bahrain) i'm checking for others, but i would ideally like to go to another one but who knows. I really want to to to Wimbledon this year and i'm praying i get tickets from the ballot or somewhere. The only other place that i really want to travel to is America but i don't think that's going to happen anytime soon....

This year is strange because all the previous years I was at CC and could really predict for the most part how it would go but also I knew what changes I wanted from the year, mainly being to leave CC. But now that i've left CC, it's weird. I think i'm in a good place where i'm at now with my profession, however there are steps that i would like to take (you know what they are S). I'm praying for guidance because i just have uncertainty with it.

I'm focusing more on myself personally this year. I've got certain goals and i'm trying to actively work on them. I'd like to develop on the creative side and there's certain things that I'm working on, i hope by the end of the year i would have some success in these. Now more and more, i realise that i don't want to be in this rat race and i want a way out to be in control of my own time and life and not have to answer anyone, i hate restrictions. So i'm praying for progress on this end. I would also ideally like to be closer to that thing which you should know S but who knows..

Ultimately, i want peace and contentment. So i hope by the end of year i feel those things, i am better at feeling them now but you know what i mean, there's always something i guess.

Hmmmm... what else.... I just want to have fun and not take anything too seriously. I made some good memories last year and would like to have more core memories this year as well. I dont know what they will be, i do have two already of the Bahrain GP and seeing The 1975 4 times but I would love some others.

I also realised now i'll be turning 28 this year. This is actually insane and completely mad. How can i be closer to 30 than i am to 20, i still feel the same

Alhamdulillah though because i have become so much better at coming to terms with aging, perhaps a little too late but if ive learnt anything its that age does not matter, i have all the time (just stupid culture that comes in the way). But yeah i dont know how i'll feel about that and when the times comes, but i pray that Inshallah i'll be ok and not depressed, panicking and stressing.

It's currently Ramadan and i'm pretty tired despite it only being 12:21 but im still thinking if i have missed anything. All in all i guess, i pray that this year is a memorable one in a good way. Everything is what you make it and i find that now more than ever, i'm always like i just want to make things happen or find a way.

Ageing is weird man and i'm gonna go down a rabbit hole now of reading all my previous ones lol.

Ok, future me, 28 year old S, when you look back on this Inshallah, this year was everything you hoped and more and for always the better. Stay cool. Stay chill. Don't stress, don't worry. Time is always on your side.

alright here's my idea - an au where jayvik meet as kids, with viktor working for a street magician, rigging all the fake tricks behind the scenes, and jayce as a little magic fanboy 🪄✨

some thoughts on this au:

jayce has been obsessed with magic acts ever since his life was saved by a sorcerer. there's a new performer in town who can do tricks no one else can, and jayce in convinced he must be the real deal. one day he sneaks backstage in the hopes of finding evidence of real magic, but finds viktor instead, who he assumes must be the magician's apprentice!

viktor is torn because he doesn't want to ruin this kid's enthusiasm, or risk losing his job by revealing the truth. but he also... really doesn't want to be a wizard. so he comes clean. (lol)

jayce is a little bummed to find out it's not real, but when viktor shows him how the practical effects work, jayce becomes enchanted once more. they look so convincing!! technology that can replicate magic?? he thinks that's brilliant.

from then on viktor has a little tag-along at all of their shows, and jayce even starts calling himself viktor's apprentice. viktor's embarrassed, obviously, but also undeniably charmed. he and jayce become friends, him teaching jayce about engineering and jayce (trying to) teach him about the arcane.

they are earth shatteringly adorable the entire time 😔
