What did you learn about yourself this year?
oh man... i guess i learned i'm capable academically of more than i once believed, both intellectually and practically—like, when i was younger, i just thought there was some fundamental wiring in my brain that prevented me from doing assignments and having insightful things to say. it's so weird how that is so much more manageable when you are in your 30s, lol. but i got my grades and i had a 4.0 for the first time ever in my life. wild. it was nice to learn that i was capable of it once i dispensed with pre-emptive shame and just sat down and calmly did it.
3. Worst moment of the year?
oooogh. actually best not to recount the real worst moment here. but i survived. and got it out of the way in, like, january.
the worst moment fit to recount on tumblr was my cat DUCKY LORD DUCKWORTH getting a bladder blockage and having to be rushed to the emergency vet several times, then having to STAY at the emergency vet to have a surgery to drain the blockage, then coming home and having to get pain meds round the clock including at 2 AM for a week. but he is well now. look at him. hasn't had his pee blocked since!
other worst moment of the year was lily gladstone not winning the oscar for killers of the flower moon.
14. Favorite place you traveled this year?
covington, kentucky! i met up with one of my BEST friends there for an evening while visiting my family nearby, and we got a beautiful summer rainstorm, ate delicious hawaiin food, wandered around town to look at cool buildings... it was a perfect evening and covington was beautiful and had so much character. pics below
