My inner horndog thought that by the time the clock struck 12, I'd be wrapped in some sheets with some stunning man and getting my back blown out. But after the last dude started trying to pull the mind games at the end of November, I knew that I'd be going into the New Year by and for my damned self, and I was beyond okay with it.
My work schedule has changed up, allowing me to engage in more Atlanta nightlife, and I really missed this scene. I'm sure at some point, I'll scale back. But for now, I'm enjoying getting to run into the friends I hadn't seen in forever, exploring new venues, and reminiscing in old ones. Wild to think that I was with these people, in these same streets, 2 full decades ago.
During my last visit with my therapist, she pointed out to me that I have so many major goals to focus on, yet I'm not really focused on any one. Ugh. I hate it when she's right. I stumbled upon an ADHD planner, which I decided to purchase. I dig it, and it comes in handy. I'm also trying way harder to be more intentional about using it every day, and it has definitely come in handy. But there are certain things I wish it contained, to satiate my lil old ADHD brain. So I'm considering putting one together. I've also had a few ideas for some stories that I'd like to work on.
So going into this year and walking away from the concept of dating and sex, I'm fully able to focus on my creative endeavors. I have a few trips that I'm planning for 2026, and I'm really excited about that as well. I started out doing well eating in a healthy manner, but I ran into an old homegirl last night, at a coffeehouse, and she managed to drag me to a bar. Whatever yo, the sushi was banging, but I'm back on the wagon today.
Honestly, I'm not quite sure what I expected from this post. No major developments. Just a newfound enjoyment of my life and my solitude. And a strengthened desire to focus on my creativity and to finally learn how to sit my ass down and make money from it.
