Last year ended with my girlfriend and I not living in our own house for most of a month due to fiberglass exposure, and three days into this year we had to say goodbye to our dog Ember unexpectedly and on less than happy terms.
Both the U.S. and the world are in immense turmoil. I have tried my absolute best to stay positive, but on more days than not I've felt the weight bearing down in a way I haven't in a long time.
I will be trying my best this year to make personal progress, take care of my body and spend more time on music and art.
Hopefully this post can serve as something to look back on in the future with a sense that things have changed for the better.
