Twenty Five

So, today is my 25th birthday! It feels a bit strange to be a quarter of a century, but I feel like this is a good age for me. Most of my friends are older than me, so mentally I’ve felt like I have been 25 for a year now. It’s been a crazy year, I quit my last job, started a new one, took a vacation, took a blog break, started cosplaying as a new hobby, and started blogging again with a bit of a shifted focus.I am happy that the one thing that has remained consistent has been this blog – and you guys, my readers, always have the sweetest words and most encouraging comments. So thank you! You never cease to put a smile on my face after a bad day.I don’t normally post personal items on the blog, but I wanted to share some of my goals for next year, taken from my “25 before 26” list (which a lot are actually carried over from last year’s list)...some are serious, but some are silly!

Don’t sweat the small stuff Go running more Finish five cosplay costumes Don't be afraid to go out after work Take [another] vacation

Purchase solid, investment wardrobe pieces Buy a new couch Grow my bangs out Finish illustrations that I start Collaborate on creating blog/cosplay videos

Hopefully next year, this post will have kept me accountable to complete them!What have some of your goals been this year? Are you keeping up with them?
