2024 was a fucking slog of a year. I was in the trenches from start to virtual finish and I came out better than before so, even though I didn't get to accomplish some of the goals that I am recycling for 2025, I am still very proud of myself for where I am now. We always hit obstacles that are out of our control, it's how we respond to them that is our responsibility. Now I'm in a much better place for my next 5 years, even if Bird Flu and the dang cheeto go wild.

So, for 2025, I want to read through my backlog, watch more films than I did in 2020 (my record), travel internationally again to at least 2 countries, go back to the gym and maintain discipline, eat and look healthier, save money, and plan/enact some career goals.
