2022 notes。
Dec. 31st, 2022 08:10 pmso a few notes in advance of this year’s notes:
first - i lost the first draft of this year’s notes and had to start over this morning. pours one out. the progress wasn’t very far but it’s still an L, but it’s ok!! hopefully all the bad luck will be left behind in 2022!
second - i made the boo boo the fool move of getting my nails done with gel x (so like fake nails) right before the new year. for the record my nails look amazing but it has hampered my typing speed…. so idk if this year’s notes will end up any shorter than last year’s, but if they do please know that i tried as much as my tippy tappy fingers would allow!!
without further ado, let’s get this show on the road!!
EVERYONE!!: i tend to write this entry last, but i’m going to write a little about it in the middle because i’m going through all the things i’ve written, all the entries i still have to write and i guess i was just kinda… overcome? I get to write these notes, i get to have all these people who mean the world to me and it just makes me a little teary-eyed. i feel like such a fortunate person, and i look forward to all the friends i’ll still get to make in years to come.
mm i guess if i can just talk briefly about looking back on this tradition of notes - i’ve been doing this since 2011! i was 16 at the time, and hilariously this list had about half as many names. each year, names are added or leave, bc that’s the coming and going of friendships especially on the internet. one of my greatest joys is actually when a name comes back, bc that’s so exciting to know reconnection is always possible. but over the past few years, i think more and more of these names are constant. more and more are you of people i feel lucky to be with every year, going through life together. and i guess even if we may lose touch or grow apart, i just hope that you know that with all my heart, i want you to know how much you mean to me in this moment. you’ve made a difference in my life, and i want you to know that. thank you for being with me, whether for now or forever.
even if i didn’t have all the time in the world to write every name, please know that i don’t keep people in my life if i’m not happy to see them. i curate my spaces so intensely, and i am intentional about the people that i treasure. so regardless of anything else, please know that i’m so happy that you made it through this year and i hope that the next one is soft, and beautiful for you. happy new year!!
( it can be said this is happiness )
