Oof, I Say
Last week, Siri expressed her hope that 2021 would be better than 2020. And then the next day happened, so that hope’s already been shattered. I’d like to say I’m surprised, but I’m really not. I recently went back and looked at my posts from late 2019/early 2020. I was so optimistic, so ready. I had so many plans and was looking forward to getting them done. And then 2020 happened. I’ve wanted to be excited about it being a new year, but I haven’t been able to get up the energy to. I did eventually come up with goals for the month and year (like, late on the first), but I haven’t really acted on them. (Part of that has been because I have a client edit that’s taking up most of my time. Part of that is that I’ve got an Among Us tournament that starts tomorrow, so I’ve been practicing that so I don’t embarrass myself. I mean, I probably will anyway, but here’s hoping.) Do you feel that? Just…vaguely apathetic? I want to be doing things. I have lots of things I want to get done. But actually doing them…it feels like too much, sometimes. I’m hoping I’ll feel more into things once some of my current commitments finish up. Or maybe the world will get its act together. Anyway, how are you? Any tips?
