Phoenix the hell out of this year

aggressively sips first coffee of 2025 while organising chaos manifestos in the murder shed

We’re about to turn this year into something that makes 2024 look like a practice run at life.

First off, let’s talk about what we’re leaving behind in 2024:

  • Self-doubt (that toxic ex who keeps drunk-texting your creativity)
  • Imposter syndrome (that roommate who never pays rent but eats all your food)
  • Creative blocks (they can go live with your high school English teacher)
  • Whatever the hell Twitter/X is doing (seriously, what IS that?)
  • People who say “just write” (straight to jail)

Now, let’s talk about what we’re bringing into 2025:

CONSISTENCY:

Not the boring kind where you eat the same sad lunch every day, but the kind where you:

  • Show up for your art like it’s a caffeine addiction
  • Write even when your brain is throwing a tantrum
  • Create with the regularity
  • Build habits that make the chaos productive

COMMUNITY:

We’re building something here, A tribe of:

  • Creative lunatics
  • Word-wielding warriors
  • Art-making anarchists
  • Coffee-powered revolutionaries
  • Pants-optional professionals

PEACE:

Not the boring kind where everything’s quiet and still (gross), but the chaotic peace of:

  • Knowing your weird is your superpower
  • Understanding that your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s
  • Accepting that sometimes your best writing happens at 3 AM while arguing with squirrels
  • Finding calm in the creative storm

This is the year we:

  • Write the weird stuff
  • Make the art that scares us
  • Build the things that make normal people uncomfortable

2025 isn’t just going to be a year. It’s your personal renaissance, your creative revolution, your artistic uprising. And you’ve got an army of equally unhinged creators right here with you.

Here’s to:

  • More words
  • Better art
  • Stronger coffee
  • Fewer pants
  • Zero fucks given about “proper” creative processes

P.S. Yes, I wrote this while pantsless. New year, same chaos.

P.P.S. The squirrels watching through my window have new notebooks. They’re obviously planning something for 2025.
