and here's to a better 2024.

decided to write a little thing now that i'm feeling... sappy? overwhelmed? 

for the past week or so, going into 2024 initially, i had been thinking a lot (when do i ever not?) and a few things did happen, affecting me emotionally and mentally, i even lost touch with some of my biggest interests for awhile when i truly needed it – i did take some time away to recuperate. i tried socialising (experimenting with how i was feeling too at the moment) but it felt like temporary happiness? something that didn't last long... aha. i suddenly succumbed myself back into the same shell... at least, for now.

i've been recovering my mental state this week though, even when i have stuff to do. i did try finding happiness in the smallest things (if you know me, you'll... know the exact people who give me a good amount of it right now) and it slowly worked like a charm. i'm not feeling the best right now, but eh, one day, i will. as much as happiness can be a fleeting thing, sadness is too... i'll overcome it one day!

anyway, this is veeeery late but happy new year to all of you! i hope your 2024 is going a whole lot better than the previous year... and if not, i will picture ourselves going through it together, no matter how tough it will get. we have to admit, life surely has its ups and downs and there are definitely mistakes we can never rewind time to fix them, but with every new day that comes after, we have the opportunity to become better people than who we are yesterday. even if it doesn't happen, that's totally okay! progress is still progress, you're doing great, no matter what stage you are at now.

don't forget to take breaks and rest when needed, stay hydrated and take care of your meals too – we're all humans (not me though, i'm just a cat) at the end of the day who just want a slice of peace and calm after long weeks of hardships. i got this, you got this, we got this!! whatever happens, please know i'm proud of you, even if i have no idea who you are, heh. but i'll send you my virtual support from where i am right now. have a nice year ahead!
