2♡25: first quarter wrap-up! ୭🩰🐈‍⬛✧

this year, i've sectioned it out into quarters; the first, second, third, and fourth, for each three months. rather than going all in with the goals and ambitions for this year to just spread them out randomly through the year, or worse, be constantly forgetting to update them every month, something i am VERY guilty of, splitting it into manageable yet productive sections! i'd recommend this to anyone with consistency issues; it's never too late to start! ♡

.⁺ ♡ FIRST QUARTER: PROGRESS 💬🐈‍⬛🎀 ❜❜ ♡

👛𓂃 ࣪˖ inner

♡ definitely gotten braver over these past few months. i've been so much more bolder than i ever have been and i love it

🧁𓂃 ࣪˖ social

♡ somehow got the most beautiful girlfriend in the world??????????? what the freak???????????ily ♡ ♡ ♡

♡ got into sum serious drama with an ex-best friend! yikes!

though this was SO stressful, it was a learning curve and gave me some really helpful insight actually into how female friendships (and malicious liars) can work. i'm grateful for the memories and the experiences she taught me, but i NEVER wanna see this girl again 😭 i love my real friends who stick by me no matter what u guys are the real ones (you know who you are.)

♡ achieved my life goal of going to a tubatu concert!!!!!!!!!!! ♡ ♡ ♡

♡ made new friends!!!!!!!!! ♡

♡ balancing my social life and my mental health better than i ever have been

♡ went to an anime & gaming con ♡

it was so super fun!!! i've always been way too shy to go to one of these things but i am always gonna be a loser at heart, so i took the opportunity and it's one of my favourite things i've done this year! little me would be so happy ♡

♡ still rewiring my mindset towards social situations (any progress is progress! ♡)

♡ gotten less scared of wearing what i want and indulging in & finding my own style in public! (little me would be so proud ♡)

⊹˚. 🐈‍⬛ academic

♡ scored 46/75 on my phase 2 maths exam (61%)

i was actually aiming to get 60% on this test!!!! i got exactly 50% last time and i'm not the best at these exams, so i'm still super proud of myself and am aiming for somewhere near 70% for phase 3 ♡

♡ placed highest in my class (again!) for term 3 english assessment ♡

♡ scored 37/50 on biology exam

♡ scored 38/50 on chemistry exam

for the 3 tests altogether, i got 120/150, which is 80% in total! i was so shocked when i calculated it all, considering on the phase 1 exams i got 78/150, so 52% in total. i wasn't expecting such a huge improvement, but i studied hard, and it paid off! (would you guys like to see a post on what i did??? ♡)

.⁺ ♡ SECOND QUARTER: AMBITIONS 💬🐈‍⬛🎀 ❜❜ ♡

⊹˚. 💄inner

♡ set up some real routines

consistency and discipline is something i've always struggled with because i can never seem to find a healthy enough balance for either of them . i want to focus on this throughout all of the second quarter, but specifically lay out some routines in april.

♡ dig into more uncomfortable sides of my mental landscape

somethign that goes hand in hand with my consistency issues is that i always forget to make time for the less glamorous stuff. i wanted to focus a lot on looking into the more unpretty sides of my mental state and beginning to work on those, as they are something i often avoid.

👛𓂃 ࣪˖ beauty

♡ pilates.

with my theme of consistency for this quarter, i wanted to add in a part i have ALWAYS procrastinated. 2023 pilates summer was PEAK and we're gonna make 2025 spring-summer pilates even better ♡

My current life plan (I will elaborate if asked)

[chaoticccmind]

Being in your mid 20s is so weird. Like some of my friends are having kids, buying a house or opening a business and im just sitting here getting depressed over life, getting drunk on weekends and dont know what to do with myself.

[grandpayaoi]

this is a joke about anime porn. get real

[icewindandboringhorror]

(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)

[inkskinned]

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

Three Years to Success: Advanced Tips to Stay on Track and Reach Your Goals

Life gets busy, motivation dips, and obstacles can throw you off course.

Hey, should I let an AI plan my entire life?

…

So what does a perfect life look like to me?

I think a perfect life would look like me connecting with musical communities and cosplay communities, focusing on photography and maybe a bit of singing while also nurturing my passion for voice acting. I’d join the 501st and volunteer often as I could while collecting a decent bunch of cosplays I assemble and maybe even throw some custom work in.

I’d continue pursuing a portrait photography passion and dig into videography for flowing performance arts. I’d have a compact, reliable and fuel efficient car with a bit of personality and most of my money would go into social hobbies and nurturing communities of open-hearted people who want to go out of their way to volunteer for those less fortunate than ourselves.

I don’t want a fast car or a loud car and I don’t care to learn major maintenance on a car. They’ve never really been my thing but we do have the ‘33 Plymouth and one of my Uncles has a profoundly personal car which will always be dear to the family’s heart. We’re a car family, so... many classic cars around.

I’d cultivate and embrace friendships with creatives and creators while maintaining my personal straightedge boundaries. I don’t mind what you do with yourselves. Just, please love my sobriety because if you judge it, I’m out.

I’d hope to build trustworthy, reliable community to bring into my family and I’d hope their default setting is respect for our family spaces; Columbia and my sister’s place and the family therein. Star Wars would be an essential passion and I’d hope each of my friends knows at least a handful of Weird Al songs and a bit of nerdcore hip-hop.

I’m pretty vehemently opposed to excessive fuel consumption but I’d want to sharpen photography skills for dad’s racing friends and try to make photography my “whole personality” even when vibing with all the epic hobbies and passions others share with me. I’ve always been more an artist than a knowledge nerd. My mind behaves most comfortably in the abstract and emotional.

I’d like to pick up some paddle boards, rollerblades, bolster my longbord quiver, grab a proper mountain bike and volunteer photography for local MTB trail riders. I’d like to vigerously embolden those relationships and friendships then share sunsets and weekends on Columbia at the firepit with an acoustic guitar and set of bongos just because... music beats beer any day.

I wish to travel. I want to learn. Perhaps I could become an MHT or some other mental healthcare or social work professional because holy crap does that system need help.

I’d love to be more community-focused; world-focused... and focus on connection and communication. Maybe I could goof around like Patch Adams but in cosplay.

Really really...

…

I’d rather work in a restaurant for the social aspect and family energy than anything mechanical. I’m shit with numbers and always have been, so no engineering. I’ve always been great with words and literature and writing or typing. I think I’d rather sell gag gifts or work at Party City-like stores than anything trying to push a sponsored profit.

If I could volunteer for a living, I would. I’ve never experience any greater effort-driven joy than working with people whose faces I see light up. It’s like a warm hug.

Two movies I like

Today pictured a year ago

A year ago, I imagined what my life might look like today—and remarkably, it’s turned out quite close to that vision. I’ve always been someone who thrives on detailed plans and meticulous execution, much to the mild irritation of my wife and son 😄. Planning things to the smallest detail has its perks. I’m rarely caught off guard, and I feel in control. On the flip side, my tendency to…

Making investment decisions solely based on Tax implications is a sure way to disaster.

Good tool for reflection

[rhys-ravenfeather]

Seeing as how, at this point, I don't even know where I want to live, I decided it might be easier to make a list of places I know for a fact I don't want to live, and go from there:

Belize

New York (and probably New Jersey)

Florida

California

Honestly any state that doesn't have all four seasons

Australia

There are definitely other places, and I'll probably update this list over time, but for now I mostly want to stick to places in America, for a couple reasons.

Also, for the record, this isn't meant to be a slight against anyone who lives in any of these places, these are just places I would prefer not to live myself, for personal reasons. For example, I've wanted to visit Australia since I was a little girl watching Crocodile Hunter, and while I would still like to visit the continent at some point, as an autistic person I wouldn't even be able to live there.
