>Go on a date. At least once. C'mon, man. I have to have at least tried to hold a guy's hand, for feck's sake.
>Live more publicly as agender/nonbinary.
>Publish almost ALL of my fanfics.
>Live by myself. In my own damn house, payed for with my own damn money, wherever I decide I want to live.
>Actually have been working as a [REDACTED] for a long time.
>Be more self sufficient in general. Know how to do laundry, pay taxes, keep house, and so on.
>Establish a decent friend group. There must be some people I like out there.
>Improve on my hobbies; model painting/custom figures, beekeeping, fencing, reading/writing Japanese, drawing and painting, baking...
>Get all the piercings I've had planned out for a while now.
>Have my writing- whatever I feel is worthy of being shown to the public- get published in some official way. Magazine, anthology, whatever. 'Course, that goal works under the assumption that I'll ever come up with anything that could be collected in under 100 pages...
>Tackle my procrastination. I've already made a lot of progress this year. It's the most daunting thing on this list, by far, but I'm optimistic.
...Y'see, tonight, something hit me out of the blue: the realization that I am, while not exactly close to thirty, much closer to it than I ever suspected I would be while still far from living independently.
That needs to change. I don't have too clear a vision of where I want to be in a few years, but I'm positive that it is NOT. HERE.
