Good luck!

Yes, advocating for yourself (and others in similar positions, as you are able) is very important! I've learned a lot about advocating for myself over the past few years (mostly through support groups and lots of therapy), and I'm still working on it.

"Don’t be afraid to ask friends for emotional support"
I can be one of those friends! You can message me on here or on Steam. I suck at giving advice, but I'm always willing to listen and be rooting for you in your corner. :)

Those sound like great goals. There is a nice balance.

[nanslice]

Yeah, it's so hard tho! ;3; I'm always so concerned about hurting other people's feelings. :(

Thank you! I absolutely will reach out.

[nanslice]

Thank you! I really want to lead a more well rounded life. :3

learning the banjo is such a cool resolution to me - go for it!!

[nanslice]

Hee, thank you! There's a little bit of musical inclination that runs in this family and I'm hoping it'll help me out a little, haha
