Challenge #12 asks us to engage with the potentially fraught space of setting goals.
( Goals and I don't always get along well )
Making it through the year is a goal. Working toward greater self-love and self-acceptance is a goal. Leaning what parts of my existence have changed, how they are signaling, and what methods are effective at working through them is a goal.
I also kind of want to keep things going as they have been, so not defaulting on exchanges I sign up for, keeping the weekly book club going, and, perhaps more this year, if I can manage it, to consume the media, play the games, and take time for myself for these activities that are for my own enjoyment, instead of trying to squeeze it in where it won't inconvenience others. It turns out that is kind of satisfying to be able to finally complete another Spire ascension or put another character in the column of "reached the true ending" or otherwise having a full set of achievements, or getting caught up to current canon. In addition to nice kudos and comments on new works and works already created.
And maybe I can make some progress this year on seeing myself in the ways that other people see me and the things that I do.
January is traditionally a time when people set goals for themselves for the coming year, and even if New Year’s resolutions aren’t your thing, maybe you have something you want to achieve this year. Maybe that’s to finish a fic that’s been sat in your WIP folder for ages, maybe to learn a new skill, maybe to check out some new shows.
In your own space, set yourself some goals for the coming year. They can be fannish or not, public or private.
