I always had this thing about 23. I thought I was

I always had this thing about 23. I thought I was gonna have the best year of my life when I turned 23. Not the case. Now here in 2023 I feel it. I know that it is true! This is going to be the best year of my life. All of this time I've taken off, focusing on my depression and learning some pretty hard lessons, I'm ready to start showing up consistently for myself.

Something interesting about my reading this year was that the full moon was in the Gemini constellation (at time of reading), I am a Gemini, and half the cards I pulled were air signs. Intriguing to say the least.

Home videos haven't been a thing here for a while. Neither has creativity. Trying to catch the moment. What do we think?

I had this super annoying trait. Trying to pull so

I had this super annoying trait. Trying to pull something off, with little to no time to make something magical. Usually a party, or a design or something that became the most important thing in my life ever.
Tonight that was a viewing party for Hocus Pocus 2...for no one other than my own family, and only remembering this morning that it was out. But I wanted to make something memory worthy, maybe just an elevated family night I guess.
And I have been waiting for a moment to feel like myself again, and this is exactly the type of thing that I would try and pull off. AND I DID IT! And for a while I felt gloriously myself!
It's been months and months and years of such deep depression. It's been a while since I've crafted anything, seen my daughter dance without the pressure of choreography, had my parents in my home and tonight was just a really great night for me. Bit by bit I might be moving towards happiness.

My t-shirt design for my valentines day market. I'll be burning the screen for it, and then printing them on the t-shirts. While, I have designed shirts before, I haven't actually done them this way before, usually just heat transfer vinyl, but this one has too many details for that. A little intimidating but I think I can do this!

I am cautiously optimistic about this next year. Which is rare for me to be optimistic...

I've been sad for quite a while, but on the cusp of acceptance from life circumstances these last 2 and a half years. I sometimes am able to feel that desire to move on, I sometimes get ripped back screaming. I sometimes laugh til I cry, I sometimes nap for 5 hours. I only pray for grace from my family as I try to tip the scales.

I thought God wanted me to punish myself. That this was somehow the lesson and trial and answer. Nah. It's just chemical hormonal imbalances. Advocating for myself medically and speaking up when something wasn't working, was the answer.

I'm so close to feeling like me again, to have more good days than bad. I'm grateful for my friends who have been understanding and patient, and my family who allows me my space for feelings and mending.

This facial exfoliant is amazing! It opens my pores to let all my yummy serums soak in. I love this once a week scrub paired with my charcoal mask, so soothing!
I'm thinking a facial night will be the next hang out night we do. What do you think? Are you in?
