#and I hope 2023 treats you all kindly 💜

[missholoska]

2022 wasn't a great year for me, but having no empty months despite everything feels like an accomplishment :'>

also I technically achieved my art goal from last year since I did manage one single comic \o/ and I fully intend to do more, I've got a lot of things I'm excited to draw this year! ✨

Oh my gosh! We're 2 weeks into the new year?? Already?? How has it treated you? I hope well. But I think when it comes to the new year we focus way too much on change- What we want to change and improve. But I think we need to reflect on things that were consistent; How you tackled every hard day you were faced with the past year, how you persevered, the love you have for things that give you joy. And I hope those stay a constant in this year, too. Most importantly, I hope this year treats you kindly. I hope it treats you so kindly that you get to slow down and live softly. We've all been busy surviving, but each and every one of us deserves to take a rest and just be. Be safe, treat yourself with some kindness; take a warm shower, have your favorite drink. I'm cheering you on! -- 💜💜 Victoria

My lovely angel friend. I keep forgetting to post these! I promise you they're still appreciated. God knows I need these little reminders.

2023 is going by too fast. I don't like it. Make it stop. We need time to plan our meet up!!!!!

You haven’t reblogged the asks but if you feel like answering some (no pressure though): 1, 3, 9, 12, 22? :)

I wish you a happy new year (I know it’s still a few hours until midnight but whatever) and hope it’ll bring you as much joy, laughter and happy memories as possible 💜💜

Ahhhh, Lia!!! So sweet of you to ask these, thank you! And sorry for the late reply, but I hope you had the best transition from 2023 into 2024 and I hope 2024 treats you kindly and that you can have the best experiences ever in it :) 💜💜💜💜💜

Also just as a caveat....... I have like such a bad perception of time so I'll try my best to answer these correctly, but like... one year just bleeds into the other

Song of the year?

Gosh this is so hard... I mean for most of the year I didn't really even listen to a lot of music, I only got back into listening to music a lot after I started watching YR funnily enough. One song I was absolutely obsessed with though was (still is!) Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths. And idk, not to be all deep about this, but I love that song for SO many reasons. It was sort of a rediscovery for me this year, I'd listened to it in the past, but I think it only really hit this year. Listening to it for the first time again was such a surreal experience as well, because I'd had this awesome course on existentialism last year (as in 2022) and I was like "wait... is this song..." and then I realized that the french passages in it are quotes from Camus' Mythe de Sisyphe! Of all things! And my mind was instantly blown and I immediately loved the song so so much more than I'd loved it before. And it also feels like it ties up my years so nicely in so many ways, because I wrote a paper that had to do with Camus' existentialism at the beginning of the year which I enjoyed so so much and to re-discover that in a song? <3 But also the fact that I used some lyrics from it for the second fic I wrote for YR which was also the second fic I'd written in YEARS of not doing that at all? Idk, something about that rediscovery of the song being linked to my rediscovery for my love of writing? Feels special, so maybe I'll go with that song :) (sorry for the ramble)

3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

Omar Ruberg, no questions asked, y'all know my brainrot

9. Best month for you this year?

Ahhhh, months are so difficult to tell apart in retrospective, everything kinda blends together. I think every month had its special moments but I'm gonna say August because that's when I first watched YR and that kickstarted SO MUCH for me as you might be able to tell lol. Can't believe this little show and the fandom for it had that much of an impact on me already, but they did.

12. Talk about a new friend you made this year

It's not just one, but: the lovely people on here I met through YR.... :) I mean I keep saying it because I'm a bit of a sap, but you guys are so sweet, so welcoming and I've just loved every single conversation I've had with any of you <3

22. Favorite place you visited this year?

Hmmm, I didn't really travel much this year, but I went to Berlin with my bf and a friend of ours and we had the chance to go to a very cute queer bookshop there in a very cute and very queer neighborhood. And idk, just walking those streets where there were pride flags everywhere and people like me existing carelessly... that really touched me. Not something I've ever experienced before in my life, so that memory stuck.

Thank you so much for asking! And sorry for the ramble omg

Oh my sweet friend, I hope that you know that I'm always sending this energy right back to you. I hope that 2024 brings both of us the ability to enjoy life and experience it gently. 2023 seemed to be the year of shaking things up so I hope that as this year gets underway there's just calm, peaceful waters ahead! Thank you for your kindness and for being such a light in this community and in my life!

The month of December started out so freaking awesome... with a visit to my loves in Wisconsin 💖

As soon as I got back, it's become a very taxing and trying time. Both of my Minis got sick, my Mom got Covid which was not awesome and she couldn't help me with my Minis, I had to take some FMLA leave from work to even still get paid as I literally had to call out for an entire week!, as soon as the girls got well *I* got sick 🤬 Not to mention money being tight and not knowing if I could provide Christmas for my Minis (I was able to, thanks to Christmas Magic!), literally not being able to get a gift for anyone else in my life who deserves a lovely gift, and going back to work only to be thrust into the havoc of the week before Christmas.

So yeah...

I haven't been taking selfies much because when you don't feel good or are extremely over tired that's the last thing you wanna do. I'm still sending Chris pictures because even if I look like hot garbage, he makes me feel like I don't 💜

My hope for the rest of this month and year is that we all get treated kindly, that we are all luckier, and more happiness is shared. I know it's cliché, but I hope for a fresh start in 2023 and that good things start happening and no more bad things, crazy things, FUCKING INSANE THINGS are able to harm us.

This is getting long and rambly. Have a super great night 💜 and remember to have a snack and some water. And one last thing, Depression lies... YOU ARE A MARVELOUS WONDER ✨️ and I love you 😘
