2025

BE A STUDENT OF WHAT YOU ADMIRE

DO IT BADLY RATHER THAN NOT AT ALL

TO DESPAIR IS TO CEDE VICTORY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT DESERVE IT

BROADEN YOUR CULTURAL HORIZONS

REVEL IN THE ANALOGUE

ACTION ABSORBS ANXIETY

GRIEF IS PRODUCTIVE; GUILT IS NOT

2025

REMAIN BRAVE.

skate flat stones across the river.

make my home a sanctuary, a shelter, a welcome resting place.

learn the first names and favorite foods of neighbors.

keep the windows open as long as warmth allows.

ask myself: will it make a good memory?

earlier mornings, longer walks.

remember I am not without my own seasons.

write recipes on paper. print photos out for framing. seek the tangible, the homemade.

speak out about harm when I see it done. leave room for learning, but never complacency.

one long summer drive to myself. an overnight somewhere new if possible.

let the candles burn through winter.

joy is not made to be a crumb, but a feast. arrive fork and knife in hand.

BE HOPEFUL, BUT ALSO IN ACTION.

Happy New Year!

[angelaness]

Free will

Write a letter to your future self and seal it for next year

Break one routine just to see what happens

Say yes to something you’d usually decline, just for the plot

Make one decision purely on intuition, no logic involved

Practice doing things without documenting them: no photos, no notes, just presence

Go somewhere new without checking reviews first

Pick a book blindly, first one you touch, you read

Have a conversation where you only ask questions, no statements

Order something totally random at a café, no overthinking

Try fully disagreeing with someone in a debate just to explore another side

Walk a different route than usual and pay attention to new details

Give yourself one day to act like a completely different version of yourself

Spend a whole day making choices like a child; curious, playful, unfiltered

Ask a stranger for a book, movie, or music recommendation and actually try it... ACTUALLY

Give something away without expecting anything in return

Try doing the opposite of your instinct just to see where it leads

Write a personal philosophy: what do you actually believe about life?

Spend a full day in silence, no speaking, just observing

Set a personal rule for the day, no lying, no complaining, no autopilot responses

Go on a walk and let a random object or sign dictate where you turn

Pick a past “what if” and go do it now, no excuses

Invent a personal holiday and celebrate it however you want

Try making an important decision without asking anyone for advice

Spend a full day making choices as if you're already the person you want to become

Do one completely pointless but deeply satisfying thing—just for the joy of it

Let go of one belief or habit that no longer serves you, just to see how it feels

Set a rule for yourself: every time you feel hesitation, do the thing anyway

Pick a random topic and learn about it like you’re preparing to give a TED Talk (I'd choose to talk about my art)

Make one small but bold move that shifts the trajectory of your life, even slightly

Chakotay and Janeway stranded alone together for 5 minutes and he sneaks off into the woods to build her a bathtub because it's the one thing she said would make her more comfortable?? Okay sir okay I see you

[aquarterpastfour]

Resolutions, but it’s Janeway with different members of her crew (and none of it is played for laughs or romance)

Tuvok: Easily the most platonically domestic version of this episode. Two old friends, trapped together but comfortable with the dynamic. While Tuvok initially is reluctant to call her anything but Captain, he acquiesces to ‘Kathryn’ and supports her as she looks for a cure. We learn more about how they met, as they reminisce, and they are able to share with one another their core regret with being stuck on this planet. She will not get her crew home; he will not see his family. The tearful moment for Kathryn is that despite it all, he does not regret spending this time with a friend.

Tom: Bait and switch UST. Their early chemistry actually unravels as Tom slowly explores why he bounced off of Star Fleet so hard and why he’s flourishing under Kathryn’s expectations but could never do so under his father’s. She grows introspective over her own relationship with her parents, and there’s a genuine (even if left behind on the planet) friendship growing between two Star Fleet brats who have completely different futures than their childhood selves thought they’d have.

Harry: Some genuine melancholy from a young man who thinks his career and dreams are over before they could begin. He never stops calling her Captain, and Kathryn cannot really let her proverbial hair down. He’s a daily reminder of the oath she’s made to her crew: to get them home. And by god, she’s going to make sure Harry makes it back to Voyager so he has a chance.

B’Elanna: There’s a rage in B’Elanna that is different from what she’s shown before. Quiet, and very deep. Like Harry, she never stops calling Kathryn Captain, and we slowly learn through their interactions that her anger is because the only group she’s ever truly thought of as a family since her dad walked out the door is on a ship that has left them behind. This is the only time we see Kathryn say, explicitly, out loud and with emotion, that she thinks Chakotay will ignore her orders and come back for them with a cure. When he does, we see something in B’Elanna heal as they prepare to leave New Earth.

Neelix: This one is rough. He starts chipper and plays the part of the “Morale Officer.” Again she remains Captain, but we see his happy veneer chip away as the hope of Kathryn finding a cure dwindles. When she is the one who tries to make him feel better after the storm, he breaks. What good is he if someone else has to make him feel better? That’s his job! It’s the strangest, yet most heartfelt mirror held up for her to see herself in. What is she without her job?

Kes: Kes’ optimism is more grounded than Neelix’s. She is certain that the Doctor will contact the Vidiians and that the crew will not stop him. She has seen the good in this crew she has decided to join, and she knows they will not leave anyone, least of all their Captain, behind. The episode is the second most domestic, soft. Even as Kathryn fears Kes is right, she has hope that she is as well.

The Doctor: Janeway alone is infected, and rather than leave her to malinger on her own in solitude, the crew provides her with a copy of the Doctor’s program. It is limited — because nothing there can house his physical matrix — just his subroutines and a text interface in case she needs assistance. He is fully aware and imprisoned in a senseless void. Loneliness creeps in, and she slowly works on giving him greater freedom — voice input, sight, and eventually a primitive, permeable matrix. He sees the outside for the first time and is in awe, and Kathryn learns to appreciate him for who he is: a man with no rights in an organic’s world who needs people to fight for him. When they return, this version of his program is reintegrated with the one left in the ship. On friendlier terms, Janeway hopes B’Elanna can make him a mobile emitter based off her work.

Me writing down my 2025 resolutions that will last 2 weeks.

🎇resolutions are great, but change doesn't happen overnight! nobody's perfect, and it's important to celebrate our progress (it's part of the journey!)
