2025 has finally arrived
As with just about everyone I know, I have mixed feeling about it. The end of the month begins the lunar new year of the snake, which symbolizes transformation and wisdom. With all of the potential horrors knocking on our doorstep this year, I intend to use this energy to learn and grow personally.
Everyone seems intent on keeping me up to date with every fucking horrible thing going on in the US, and everything Trump, his Trumpaloos, and the rest of conservative USA are doing. I know they're doing and planning terrible shit, and people are getting hurt and killed by it already. I promise you all, I know that. I don't need to know the details of every instance of it. I know it's happening.
For fuck sakes.
What this means for me, is that we need to learn to protect ourselves, and still try to live our lives and enjoy life in spite of it. I'm aware that for marginalized people, that's difficult. What choice do we have?
Anyway, sorry for the rant. It's what's on my mind.
I took a nice walk in the middle of a gentle, midday snow fall yesterday. I enjoyed it very much. I hope to spend more time in nature this year.
That's all I have. Happy Thursday.
