#2024 reflection

Here is everything I have manifested/accomplished in 2024. This was a wild year for me, but a lot changed for me for the better. Without me realizing, really.

I have two revenues off income. One being my job and the other being my online shop. I started the year losing my job and making no sales, so to have steady income after months of scripting/subs. Is wild. Right in time for my birthday, and I'll be able to save money as well.

I moved into a bigger place. Getting a bigger room, my own bathroom and office.

I used visualization to change/sculpt my body. Giving me a noticeably small waist and smaller stomach. My lashes have grown and look more like my ideal lashes.

I am def happier now than I was at the start of the year. Going through a break-up and struggling with weed dependency. But after affirm every morning when I woke up that "I was happy" and "Love my life". I am glad to say I am happier than when I started this year. I have gained a more enthusiastic outlook on life, being more myself and doing things freely. As well as looking towards the future.

I have gotten over my weed dependency. No longer being addicted to carts. Finding a reliable plug and no longer getting high every day or in non-safe ways.

I gained hundreds of followers/subscriber on social media.

As the Year of the Dragon comes to a close, it's time to revisit and honor the archetypal energy that guided us through 2024.

Nothing will change, if you don't change something.

The longer you avoid doing something, the scarier and harder it becomes.

The self is too complex to be introduced completely to other people. In an introduction situation: What is relevant for the other person to know about you in this moment?

You deserve a life you want to live. Don't settle for a life you don't enjoy and make decisions based on others opinions.

You need to change your environment regularly or you become depressed like a zoo animal. Go outside!

Your daily little choices decide how your life will form and feel. (Do I do the important thing now or waste time scrolling on social media?)

It is okay to ask for help. You don't need to do everything alone and you also can't do everything alone.

Your behaviour and habits are your responsibility.

You can't learn something, if you think you need to do everything perfect the first time. If you already knew everything, you wouldn't need to learn it, would you?

The only rule in life is that death is the end. Spend time with your loved ones and the things you love.

Grief is a sign of love (Schäme dich nicht für deine Tränen. Sie sind ein Zeichen, dass dich Sachen berühren).

Good things take time, energy and focus. Don't give up.

Personal time for hobbies is sooo important.

Everyone makes mistakes when speaking, even native speakers.

If you want something really good, you need to make some sacrifices that will not feel so good. That is the balance.

If you isolate yourself, your social anxiety will get worse.

You need to do things where you are actually present and people and the world react to you and you are not just an electronic ghost on the internet.

Breaks are okay and even necessary to not get overwhelmed!

Enough sleep is essential. For everything. You need to try getting as much good sleep as possible.

The first time doing something new is always the scaries. It gets easier after that. (Also applies if you haven't done something in a long time.)

Follow your interest and fascination with something as soon as possible or it will fade away and you will regret letting this highly motivational energy go.

Anytime you worry someone is gonna judge you, that is really just you judging yourself. Ask yourself why and work on that.

Medicine for mentall illnesses can be just as necessary and helpful as medicine for physical illnesses. There is no shame in taking them.

Chapter 28 has come to a close. A year of profound sadness and loss. A year defined by reckless hope, prayers half answered. I spent many of my nights and days sick with sadness and grief. But I'm still here for Chapter 29, knowing that I resiliently lived through the last chapter with as much strength, heart, and kindness as I could.

Hi I’m Ivy, i’m a trans woman living in Missouri and the internet. I’ve lurked on tumblr but never engaged beyond reposting- Imma work on that. I started HRT in November of 2023, so my first full year as a proud tranny is concluded. And i have a couple thoughts.

In January of 2024 I was already killing it with my sense of style tbh i wish i’d honed in on things like these two looks earlier and just emphasized hair and styling details. I’d went to STL for a HEALTH show w Pixel Grip which was fun (i bought a buttplug at that show which later tried to kill me when the jewel came out of the lubricated silicone palm), I was talking with Drea and eventually told her i wasn’t ready for a relationship and we slowly became pretty good friends. Velma got cancelled for being trans and for being weird and for lacking sexual boundaries and all of these things getting conflated. we didn’t talk for months afterwards. I dropped out of college in january. but i was newly on hormones and i felt like i’d taken a leap in the right direction, even if i was sailing blind. and that minor repair in the trust between myself and my intuition gave me confidence that served me well.

2024 was the year that stretched us in every possible direction. It was the best year and the worst year all at once. It was the year we welcomed our beautiful daughter, our rainbow baby, into the world—a moment of pure light after so much darkness. But it was also the year I lost my older sister, a loss that continues to echo through every corner of my life.

We found out I was pregnant just three weeks in, and from that moment, it was as if I was holding my breath for 40 weeks straight. The fear of losing her was so heavy, it never left my side. Maybe that’s why I hold her a little tighter now. She is here, she is safe, and she is mine—but it took everything in me to get to this moment.

The joy of her birth was tempered almost immediately by tragedy. My sister had a stroke shortly after my daughter was born. She never fully recovered, and in the months that followed, we learned she had breast cancer. By October, she was gone. Just like that. I still don’t know how to reconcile the joy of our daughter’s arrival with the heartbreak of losing my sister. We were torn between celebrating life and grieving death, and nothing about it felt fair.

Through it all, my husband carried us as if we were one heart. He let me cry, and I cried a lot this year. From the pain of breastfeeding that I had to stop, to seeing my sister lose her ability to see, walk, or even recognize us—it was an unrelenting wave of grief. Her loss has left a hole in our lives that nothing can fill.

When my birthday came on December 30th, my husband asked me what I wanted. I couldn’t think of a single thing. My heart felt empty. My kids are healthy, my marriage is loving and supportive, and yet all I wanted was peace. I wanted to stop feeling so torn between gratitude and sorrow. I wanted clarity, a glimpse into what the next year might hold for us.

Still, as we begin 2025, I can see the glimmers of hope. We’re planning swimming lessons for our son, preparing him for a new grade, and even thinking about extending the house to give our daughter her own room. We dream of bigger and brighter things. We’re grateful, yes, but also open to more.

This year was carried by our close friends and family. They held us up when the sadness threatened to swallow me whole. There were moments when I thought my heart would melt out of my eyes from crying. And yet, here I am, looking around in awe at the life we’ve built. It’s imperfect and messy, but it’s ours, and it’s filled with so much love.
