A long-term promise, at that.

We'll see how successful I am.

To those still reading: No matter what your positive ambitions are for this year, or well past 2026, I hope you achieve all of them. 💜

I won't say more than about it because I've tried to learn and work on myself since. It's also my hope that the people involved are much happier and healthier now.

I'm not calling this a "resolution" because I think society has greatly devalued that term. Hence me referring to it as a promise.

Even if I made new friends since then, I'd eventually hit a social comfort level threshold with them and my brain would yank on the reins of progressing further in the relationship.

The fault is mine alone and a direct result of a large falling out with a friend group that took place in 2020.
