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.
