Taking a hard look in the mirror

Am I the only one who feels like today is the 332nd day of January? Sitting down in the kitchen at Mama Sue’s house and in a not so great place emotionally, I thought I would take stock of myself and where things stand for me. No, this is not going to center entirely around my upcoming divorce, but it is important that I start to be strong enough to name it among the things I’ll be living this year.

Something tells me that I can’t be the only one who is struggling right now.

So, let’s get into it.

Stop everything. There’s a new Nintendo coming.

While I love a busy schedule and jet setting around the country and the world to create fabulous content, I am actually quite the homebody when I get the opportunity to be so. While I don’t currently have a space to call all my own, once I do later this year, I know that one of the reasons I’ll stay home for some down time will be because of my new Nintendo Switch 2.

Yes, that’s right babes. In case you didn’t hear yet, there’s a new Nintendo system coming in 2025 and I want to tell you all about it.

Let’s make 2025 the year we stop explaining ourselves

Over the course of the last few weeks, I have been quietly planning and getting to work. For those of you that are new here at the blog, hello and welcome. Without rehashing the past, 2024 was quite a transformative year in my life. Out of the proverbial ashes of it all, I promised myself to use the beginning of a new calendar year to focus my attention forward to the life I want for myself and to stop at nothing to make it happen.

Moving back to Toronto permanently as soon as I can afford it. Once settled, adopting another dog as a companion. Working on my spiritual & emotional well-being consistently. Preparing myself mentally for all the things that have to happen that I can’t stop. And most importantly of all, I promised myself that I would take my physical health much more seriously for myself.

Some years we thrive. Some years we survive.

In the most cliché way possible, I am getting introspective while reflecting on what a fucking and complicated mess 2024 has been. Full of tears, laughter, loss, love, big fucking mistakes, healing, continuously failing, blowing up friendships, growth, realizations, acceptance… and that’s just to name a few off the top of my head.

But if you’re here for the tea gurls, that’s not the place I write from anymore. Sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting a past version of myself. But I love and respect myself and others too much to keep making the same mistakes over and over more than I already have.
