My yearly reflection for 2023 ended up being on the last page of this Hobonichi Weeks Memo notebook. What a satisfying way to end a notebook!

2023, I hardly knew you and I won’t miss you.
It feels like this year has flown past at a breakneck pace, something that happens more and more often as I get older. I’m close to be being old now, and I don’t like it. My ice has been mostly a series of unfortunate circumstances, struggles with disability, and the persistent inability to take care of myself and get myself in a place where I can have a few things I want and need.
In short, I’m starting to realize how screwed I might be.
It’s no wonder I developed anxiety in my 40s.
That aside, my first reflection on 2023 was that it was not a good year and I didn’t get much accomplished, but that’s not really true, I think. It’s more true to say I didn’t get done all the things I wanted to get done.
Highlights of the year, I suppose?
I got dumped. Sucks. Is what it is. I wish she hadn’t taken the cat, though.
I am deeper in debt. No surprise there.
My Dad is starting a slow decline in health. I know it. I think he does, too, but…nothing can be done about that. He’s older.
I wrote over 850,000 words. Close to my goal, but not quite there., I can do it this year. Hit a million words.
I have more consistent income
I managed to re-organize and re-arrange my space
I posted 13 fics and far exceeded my goals there
I am both a better and a worse writer than I knew
I got back on tumblr
I adopted two kittens
I got my first *two* gift fics
Participated in a couple of fandom events
I wrote my first drabble
I didn't get enough accomplished, but considering all the rest of what happened, it's not so bad. I'll do better next year.
Really, the place I had the most success last year is where I usually have the least success. Writing. I finished a bunch of things, wrote a metric fuckton of words, some of which got published to AO3. Go me?
I also got momentum going, which died in December, but I can get there again. I know I can and I will. I can do more this year.
I'm looking forward to trying to, anyway.

2023 is almost here and we are all posting sappy little emotional year recaps and goals for next year and let's be real it all feels good until you forget about those goals halfway through the year because 365 days just isn't long enough and there is far too much to do. Every year is always a mixed bag of events, some planned and some not, some good and some not, but every year we change in ways we planned and ways we did not.
All this to say, I didn't quite do as much as I'd hope for this past year in terms of growth in my writing or my person, but I did make huge leaps in other ways. I did things I never thought I'd be brave enough to do (hello, parasailing) and met people I hope will be in my life for a very long time, and learned to see the world a little differently.
I'm not making any promises, but I do hope next year will be the one where I stay focused and not just update Riptide, but complete it. I hope I start working on my personal writing projects as well. I hope I start painting again. I hope I can make time for going to the gym, for filling my life with love, for getting closer to creating something that will outlive me. I hope this year makes me laugh harder than ever before, and I hope it's the one I look back on and finally feel satisfied with, finally feel accomplished in. I hope it's the one where I can say "I did it," whatever "it" ends up being.
If you read this far, thank you! This was more for me than you, and I appreciate you sticking it out with me. I really hope to write so much more and share everything tumbling around in my head with you.
Stay tuned, I'm not done yet.

My End of 2022 Reflection
This week's blog is a reflection on what went on in 2022 and how I feel as we enter into a new year.
I’m sure within the next few weeks, you all will be really sick of new year stuff, but I wanted to do a recap of everything that has happened this year and sort of parse out my feelings regarding 2022. 2022 has been the best year in a while for me. It feels odd for me to say that considering all the negative things that happened in 2021. Last year was rough. 2022 was a year of regaining my…

You'll Never Feel Ready...... Or Maybe You Will?
Or: How I Learned to be an Artist by Being Ok with Where I Am Right Now.
I never posted my 2022 reflection. I got to it later in January, rather than over my time off between Christmas & New Years, & things started to get busier at work - which was followed by a year with lots of changes and frustrations. It was pretty draining, though I think it's moving me towards some important growth. And my reflection on last year feels like a good touchstone for what I hope for 2024.
///
I think I stumbled into my yearly reflection blog. I couldn't seem to find something that felt right to write about before now, but I was praying and I realized it was obvious. Gratitude.
I'm grateful that I'm where I am as an artist and a person. That I actually am doing art on most days. That I finish most of what I start and what I don't finish isn't neglected out of anxiety but simply too many ideas and too little time. That I feel like, if I were given a project, I could probably figure out how to do it, instead of just panicking; I have some ways of processing through a project that make it doable. That I enjoy art as much as I do when I could be sick of it or just made anxious by it. That I did a real commission and wasn't too excited about it but now I'm almost finished and it was a great experience! Challenging but good. Maybe good for me because it wasn't my go-to thing to draw and it was challenging, but it was good. I've come a long way and I'm getting to a place where I feel ready to seek out doing art professionally.
People always said "You'll never feel ready."
However, they meant we'll never feel perfectly equipped, with every skill and every technique and every way of processing through how a project might be done. Of course, I'm not completely ready! I never will be unless I start being able to tell the future! (hahaha- *how terrifying that thought is...). I couldn't handle my anxiety, so I couldn't finish things - so of course, I wasn't ready. I didn't have any discipline, so there's no way I would've gotten everything done on time - so of course I wasn't ready. I was only creating based on my whims, with no emphasis on learning and growing so I didn't have the tools I needed to work through challenges - so of course I wasn't ready.
The sense of being ready that I have now isn't about the end result being perfection; it's about knowing myself and knowing that I can trust myself when I encounter challenges to stay and not run. Really, it's that I trust God, that He can hold me together through the storm of anxiety. That His strength is greater than the influence of my brokenness.
I guess If I were to say something to those out there who might need it, it would be: If you don't feel ready, then say "No" to being rushed. Take time to ask, "Why? Why aren't you ready?" It could be simple fear and that you just need to dive in. Or it could be that you need to work on yourself first, to be a healthy person, to create out of a good place instead of a bad one. Keep in mind that you have time. You don't have to become a well-paid artist tomorrow. There are ways to get by in the mean time if you must. Learn to be ok with where you are first.
I'm surprisingly frustrated by how long it took me to realize all this and how long people tried to help me get "out there" without asking me if I wanted it or was ready for it. I guess because it feels like they all assumed they knew best without really talking to me. Saying "I'm not ready," was so easily dismissed by everyone as just an excuse as they wielded their "encouraging" platitude of "You'll never be ready, just do it!" It felt invalidating. And then, instead of working on myself, I tried to push myself to be the artist I felt people expected me to be instead of working on the artist and the person I was to someday be ready, to be healthy.
Being a healthy artist now though ("healthy," remember, not "perfect"), I know I owe to God. It sounds sort of over the top to say this, but I don't know if I'd be here if not for recognizing my anxiety for what it was while having art as a tangible way of dealing with it, and it is God who put artistic tendencies in me and equipped me to overcome my anxiety. Not that I don't still deal with it, but it doesn't rule me very often anymore. I can feel the symptoms of panic while knowing it's just my body reacting and I don't have to let my heart and mind follow along in its wake, joining in the panic.
None of that guarantees I'll be the artist I want to be... not in this life, I guess. To say "You have time," when you don't have the hope of Heaven is to say, in a sense, "Pretend you have time - because none of us really knows how much time we have left." And that's true. For me, however, I know God has made me an artist for a purpose, even if it's only for our mutual joy, and there will be plenty time for that in Heaven, in the presence of the Fount of All Creativity. When I say "I have time, so I don't have to become a successful artist tomorrow," there's a degree of contentment with where I'm at (Art is no longer something I'm trying to leverage to escape the things I fear), as well as an acknowledgment that, if not in this life, then in Heaven at least I will have opportunities to be an artist. I'll be given the chance not to make something of this world, but of the Next, to be creative in ways I couldn't even conceive of on this Earth, to be shaped purely and without the filter of sin by the Creator that made all from pure imagination. This excites me but also brings me peace. Peace, because of knowing that I am not racing against a deadline, that I won't "peak" in this life, that I won't run out of creativity, that someday I'll create freely in full safety with no worry of judgment & for the pure joy of it.
I don't have to be everything and all of it now, this instant, or else be a 'Failure' (...whatever that really means when we often learn and grow via failing). There is time and it is worth it to accept that time (& the challenges of being ok with being in that time). It is worth it. We don't have to rush. Take your time.
///
How apt this is. Little did I know that 2023 would be a blur of tiredness and frustration that pushed back my art dreams another year. Yet I also know that I've grown a fair amount: I've improved with color, tried out new stylistic things, realized some of the hallmarks of my style, finished my 2nd paid project, completed a two-piece paid project that wasn't commissioned by someone I know, and made art more consistently (somehow!) among other things.
So what does 2024 have ahead? Of course, I don't really know, but maybe it'll look a little, ironically, like overcoming my fear. Yes, I make more freely. I finish artwork all the time now (a thing I couldn't make myself do a few years back). But it's so easy to be comfortable. I hope 2024 looks like putting myself out there in spite of my fear and seeing at least a little reward back from that - whatever that looks like.

Yearly Reflection: A Letter Meant for 2024
In the beginning of 2022, I wrote about my yearly reflections on small thankless activities such as changing my bed sheets. I was thinking, what should I write in the beginning of the year since life proves to be mundane just like how I wrote in the posts.
But then again, the theme for that particular posts wasn't about life being mundane. It was about being grateful of things we find mundane. The smallest things in life.
However, this wasn't the case over the course of 2022. I realized I didn't have the tinge of gratefulness in my vein for what had happened over the past months. Gratitude weren't the theme of my 2022 and there were countless times where I would complain over the smallest things. I was too hung up on the future that I forgot to enjoy life at all.
Also one big problem is not being able to properly reflect over life. I was too anxious on thinking about realizing my goals when I don't even have a clear goals in life. I'm like a penguin frustrating over not being able to fly and go somewhere. I guess, I am that penguin who didn't know she's meant to be swimming to get somewhere and not flying.
I haven't made much time and energy to write and post lately. Comparing it to working which actually earns me money and other tasks which I had to do, I'm disregarding writing because I thought it wasn't a necessity for me. These days, I thought of writing as a life sucking activity when in fact it wasn't. While writing needs brain juice to actually makes sense, it does help me clear out the clouds in my mind. Instead, writing and other creative pursuits aim to heal and recharge the soul.
I realized that I've been lacking in passion lately and I would account it to not being able to pursue passion projects or any other creative projects. I thought that writing during my lowest time or during times when I'm stuck won't help since I don't have anything to give. However, writing is akin to taking a piece of ourselves and putting it out there (whether it's on a paper, blogs, vlogs, etc) and in turn you get a space where you could fill. Or maybe you could dig out new insights and perspective you never knew was possible coming from yourself. Writing actually have those wonders and I forgot about it last year.
----
People around me kept asking me on what's my next goal. I haven't had a clear goal yet, I only thought of taking a master's degree but till now, I haven't yet made any preparations or determine what to pursue for my master's degree. It's hard to admit that I have been too comfortable and I'm scared of change even when I promote change (for a better life) to everyone I meet. However, when it come down to myself, it's hard to face change head on.
Entering 2023, I'm more hopeful not to lead a mundane life anymore. At least, not a mundane mindset I held on during 2022. If I'm being honest, a lot of exciting things actually happened in 2022.
I had the opportunity to be sent to a business trip to Tangerang's office. Throughout 2022, I was able to travel thrice to Jakarta and meet friends, families, and new connections. However, having a mindset that keeps on complaining or being anxious of the future without doing any action is detrimental to the whole experience. Instead of focusing on the exciting and pleasant experiences, I focused too much on the negative spectrum.
That's why, I'll once again make time in 2023 for myself to thrive in my personal and creative pursuits. Let's come back again in 2024 and see how I fare.
For now, Happy New Year. Let's do our best for a year again.
-Reina.

18 years old vs. 26 years old
turned 26 today, meaning i'm one year out from charlotte lucas' "I'm 27 years old, I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents. And I'm frightened."
I think 18 year old me could take me in a fight, honestly. She didn't have carpal tunnel + wasn't googling stretching routines for her hip flexors. BUT she weighed 60 kg soaking wet so I could totally just sit on her and she'd be done.

Wow I hadn't realized there hasn't been a new pokemon movie since 2020. They were a yearly thing since 1998. I don't think they were on the decline (although the koko movie looked particularly bad to me) so I wonder why it seems they completely stopped making these

2022 End of Year Gifmaker/Creator Tag Game
Cut this into what works for you. Want to do only one instead of five? Do it. Tag 2 people? Do it. But there are a couple of rules:
RULE 1: Review your creations over 2022. Tag some gifmakers/creators, friends and strangers to get them to do the same.
RULE 2: Link to the content, commentary optional.
5 (or more!) creations from others that made you smash the reblog button hard, closely followed by your ‘insp’ tag or ‘fave tag’. Link to sets that started conversations, outstanding composition, coloring, etc.
4 creations of which you’re proud. These are goals you scored. Nothing to do with notes.
3 creations others loved. Include the one that got most notes, great comments, or the classic ‘how dare you!’
2 creations that stretched you as a creator: style, coloring, blending, text, etc. include the one that should have got more notes.
1 creation of yours that you find most aesthetically pleasing to the eye and self AND 1 creation that broke and (maybe remade you) as a creator – we all have that one.
0 the creation that never was because nothing was working that day.
i was tagged by @userbabygirl​, thank you so much for the tag! was really nice to have a chance to reflect on my favourite creations of this year.
tagging anyone i tagged throughout this and anyone who would like to do it, this is your excuse to reflect on your tumblr year!
(placing under the cut because of my ramblings)
5 (or more) creations that made you smash the reblog button:
i’m glad this says or more because there are way too many beautiful creations that i’ve seen this year which have lived in my mind rent free. it’s so incredibly hard to pick, so i’m going to chose some of my favourite creators of the year and my favourite sets they’ve produced.
avia, geraskier queen @lamberts​​, sheer creativity never fails to blow me away, and seeing her creativity with new witcher content at the beginning of the year got me through those early dark and dreary months. there are so many creations i could list here, but i’m going to pick this jaskier’s feelings for geralt via his songs set because it highlights so much of avia’s talent. the clever and cohesive typography, the stunning combo of yellow and pink, the seamless blending, all rounded off with a bit of geraskier angst. each and every gif of these is made to perfection and it’s such a great overall journey of jaskier and his feelings towards geraskier across the seasons, whilst also being art.
daphnée, my french princess @ivashkovadrian​​, has made me smile with a lot of her sets this year. but this yenralt + ship’s in the night set really had me screaming. i adore this song to death and seeing it used for them, and so gorgeously, blew me away. the gold and mint that i always associate with daph is drop dead beautiful, so vibrant and so rich. and what really makes me lose my mind is the attention to detail with pairing the lyrics with symbols! the way the hourglass is used to hold the typography is simply genius. i also gotta do a little shoutout to your costume sets though! violet’s teal dress was such a surprise and the most delightful gift, and kate’s orange dress was a set i’d been waiting on for a while and it certainly did not disappoint.
jagoda, goddess of merlin and the witcher @ughmerlin​​, has again made so many stunning creations this year that picking just one was a ridiculous task. there are so many amazing sets showcasing her creativity and talent that it’s almost impossible to pick one favourite. but this merlin + zodiacs set is one that has stuck with me because i could stare at it for hours. there is something so calming about this deep blue and celestial signs. but on top of that, the blending is just gorgeous, the scene selections and even triple blends occurring are some of the best i’ve seen. i want these made into actual cards so badly.
maria, my go to merlin genius @arthurpendragonns​​, has again surpassed creativity and talent this year whilst crushing me with the merthur feelings. i can’t list every set (though i would if i could), but this 10th merlin anniversary set felt like such a flex of all your talent. you truly own this red to orange to soft yellow combo, and the detail here was nothing but immaculate. the perfect overlays are on show, from the use of the wings, crowned skull, lightning, just everything. then to even include transitions between both text nicknames and scenes? so cleverly done. plus that twist of the last gif made me lose my mind.
laura, one of the most creative giffers on this site @katherineebishop​​, always impresses me with her unique takes on gifsets. i’ve really enjoyed your celebrations this year and how you approach every set with such creativity, including beautiful overlay additions and stunning typography. but i’m going to shout out this yenskier set from earlier in the year because this one left me speechless. them in bi colours is so incredibly valid and i really adore the range of typography used to showcase their moments. it’s such a perfect summary of them and why they were such a highlight of season 2.
neve, my british twin @aryastaark​, has produced the most drop-dead gorgeously coloured gifsets this year. i still think about your rhaenyra episode sets because the colour combos you picked were everything. but if i have to pick a favourite of yours this year, it is without a doubt this dragons + their riders set because holy shit. the rainbow colours are gorgeous. the blending?! spectacular. the inclusion of little symbols was genius. and the use of different fonts for each rider... just wow. this set really took my breath away and was such a showcase of the talent you have. it belongs in a gallery.​
ana, keeping me fuelled with flawless house of the dragon content this year @zoya-nazyalenskys​​, has produced so many gorgeous and emotional sets i could list here. i always say you own the colours blue and orange, because each and every time you use them it takes my breath away. so i have to pick this rhaenicent set, because it showcases those things so perfectly. also the blending is absolutely to die for, the way this parallels moments and delivers on the angst is everything.
arianna, queen of typography @seance​​, always floors me with her colours and creativity. i’ve never seen a set of arianna’s that missed. each and every one is so incredibly beautiful and impressive. but i’m going to shoutout this wednesday + episode titles set because i’m still not over it. the choice of scenes for blending is immaculate, each adds such texture which elevates the gif. the colours are just phenomenal, so vibrant and stunning. and the typography rounds it off perfectly. your eye for combinations always impresses me.
myra, blender extrordinare @capinejghafa​​, has really kept me fuelled with umbrella academy content this year which is much appreciated. i will always think of your hargreeves rainbow transition set, but i have to shoutout this hargreeves + their mothers set because i’m still in awe of how you did it. the way you included the newspaper clippings is actual genius, and it’s so seamlessly done. and then there’s triple blends going on to include the newspaper clever?! so beautiful, so genius, so in love with it.
cj, provider of the luther content this fandom needs @viktorhargreeves​​, has come up with so many original and amazing concepts this year. getting a new umbrella academy season was a blessing because it was so exciting to see what you would do with it next. but i’m going to pick this luther + soundtrack set because of the way i gasped when i saw it. the creativity of this album and disc layout is absolutely incredible. and not only that, but every single gif within this is beautifully coloured, seamlessly blended, topped off with to-die-for typography. it’s just incredible, i don’t know how you had the patience to do it but i applaud you.
michelle, the talented angel @enidsinclaiir​​, blew me away with her talent a lot this year. but i have to say that umbrella academy week was a moment where i was going ‘oh my god how’ every single day. because i know you were doing things that week, and yet you still managed to come up with the most creative and beautiful sets. i have to pick this favourite episode set though because it showcases so many different skills and is simply stunning. the colour palette is to die for, the layout is so creative and clever, the cut out of allison? on the floor. the use of speech bubbles and typography... i could go on and on about this set because they’re are so many details and each are so beautiful.
bru, #1 nancy wheeler and robin buckley supporter as is right and proper @natalia-dyer​​, you are so talented but also your passion for what you create really shines through. thank you for always being a safe space to celebrate the lesbians, it’s been a delight to witness the ronance agenda. i am particularly in awe of your ability to take scenes from different films and fit them into an au gifset, it’s just incredible how talented and creative you are. but i’ve got to pick your favourite platonic relationship set as one that has stayed with me this year. the colours and typography for each is just so gorgeous, it’s the most perfect and spot on rainbow set i’ve seen.
dee, #1 contributor to my wenclair brainrot @wenclair​​, i swear you are one of the most dedicated gifmakers on this website because you always seem to gif for so many fandoms and to such an impeccable level. your use of colour is always so impressively beautiful, creating the most vibrant and aesthetically pleasing sets. i could probably list every single one of your wednesday sets here for the joy they brought me, but i’m actually going to shoutout this stobin set because it’s absolute genius. they fit it so well, and this is so beautifully executed. the blue, the blending, the split gifs, the typography, each and every single thing is so gorgeously done.
maureen, yenralt goddess @something-more​​, you have singlehandedly fuelled gifs for the yenralt fandom and i’m so grateful for that. we are such an underrated space but you have kept it bright and beautiful. thank you so much for your hard work and talent. but i have to select this witcher season 2 rainbow set because the colouring still takes my breath away. they are so vibrant and delightful and is a real flex of your colouring skills. rainbows fuel my very being, and this one was definitely no exception.
elsbeth, i’m so happy that wednesday gave us another mutual show so i could scream over your gifs once more @laylakeating​​. and i just have to point and yell at this wednesday + anti-hero set because wow! red, black and white is one of my all time favourite colour combos and this was perfection. the blending is flawlessly done, and i really adore the font you chose. there’s been a lot of anti-hero sets this year but this is the one that really sticks with me. it is so fitting and so perfectly done.
4 creations of which you’re proud:
i just did my list of my favourite creations for every month so i’m going to try and give some love to creations outside of that!
this umbrella academy s3 soundtrack set was a real labour of love. adding the rainbow to it was just so much fun and i’m really proud of how it turned out. i also tried to do it all chronologically which made a challenge for rainbow colouring as i couldn’t just pick the greener scenes for screen.
this kanthony favourite scene set is one i’m so proud of. i generally don’t like giffing scenes because it always feels like everyone beats me to it, but this was a more ‘creative’ take on it and was really fun to make. and i was really proud of how it turned out, especially the rings!
this shadow and bone season 2 trailer set admittedly could be better, but i’m really proud of how it came out with that awful trailer quality. i do wish the footage was better, but sometimes we have to work with what we’ve got! and overall i was really happy with what i managed to do with brief glimpses and low quality.
this chrissy cunningham set was a fun appreciation of the character! it was really fuelled by the hate grace was recieving from the fandom (which is never fair) and i really wanted to celebrate her acting in both the sadness and sweetness she brought to chrissy, which made her a scene stealer in what tiny screen time she had. i was really happy with how it came out, with the blue and green of the cheer colours and the ink dropper fade effect.
3 creations others loved:
this wenclair gifset keeps popping up in my notifications and i’m so happy that people enjoyed this concept. i really loved their contrasting personalities and it was fun to do that in the contrasting yellow and black and white.
this house of the dragon queens set is one i actually had scheduled to post when i was on holiday with no internet. i got home and got to see the reaction people had to it all at once and it was overwhelming! people had left such lovely tags and comments and it just made me so happy. there was almost a nerve-wracking feeling of ‘well, i wasn’t around to boost this so it could entirely flop’ but to see people had enjoyed it was lovely.
i think this first kill set is my gifset with the highest notes this year, so i have to give it a shoutout! loved seeing everyone connect with not just this set, but the show itself. its release felt so special and i really enjoyed engaging with the fandom and celebrating our supernatural sapphics (even if the show deserved so much better, still mad at you netflix).
2 creations that stretched you as a creator:
me? biting off more than i can chew? ... yeah it happens a lot. i’ve done a lot of appreciation weeks this year that have really stretched me, doing five or even seven days of straight gifsets while also feeling like i need to be creative has felt like running a marathon at times. but i also feel like it has helped to push my ideas. 
this yennefer week set pushed me a lot because creatively, i wasn’t sure how to make it work, and also because i was struggling for time because i was so busy with work and was literally snatching moments to hide away and gif. but i was really happy with what i came up with in the end, especially with the reviews fading in and out.
and this umbrella academy quotes set, again for an appreciation week, was a lot of work just because there were so many details i wanted to include within it. and i was doing so much for this week on the day/staying up way too late at night because i’d managed to make only one set in advance. in the end, i’m very happy with it and think it looks so fun! but at the time it was a case of me driving myself crazy with my own ambition and perfectionism.
1 creation you find aesthetically pleasing:
something so (literally) magical about this yen + magic set to me. i just think the shots of her trying to do magic/doing magic on the show are so beautiful and it was fun to play with them. also adored adding the witchy halloween colours to it!
1 creation that broke you:
giffing the entire umbrella academy season 3 trailer was a lot. this definitely broke photoshop and made me lose my mind. by the end i was so tired and fed up with it.
0 creation that never was:
i started a yennefer + smiles set (sort of based on this but for season 2) back in february and have still never finished it. i’ve actually still got all the caps ready to go, it’s just... still not happened. maybe one day.
