anno nuovo

I usually write to resolve in the beginning of january because it is grounding and it gets me excited. It would be easier if I were feeling less cold, if the floors were carpeted and if I had spent a long enough time in Maryland to feel bored and constrained by it. Instead though, I have come a long way to be in Italy, and while I am here I should resolve to do some things, so

for the semester:
learn to be alone.
find a coffee shop to sit inside.
spend time by the river.
go hiking a lot.
find a frisbee game.
make a lot of art and generally have ideas.
go hiking a lot.
explore the city and learn it.
go dancing.
travel.

for the year:

learn to be alone. let your wounds heal. collaborate. make large things. love the things you make. write more, and better. be a prompter pen pal. draw more, and better. read more. get a tattoo. do not shrivel in your den.
