I was never one for New Year Resolutions, but this year I want to make an exception and aim for the following:

📸 Take more pictures - I come from a professional and technical background of graphic design and photography. The world I was preparing to use those skills in is not the world we got and I want to learn to appreciate those skills more as I followed my heart for them, never was ever about the dirty money. I want to love my abilities again, and share it with the world at large.

🎨 Be more creative in general - I want to get my creative spark back that was siphoned from me over the years doing the dance for suits and corpos.

🖥️ Updated portfolio website - purchase a new domain and create a portfolio website from scratch. I’m rusty and have been out of the loop for awhile. It’s a passion I want to love again, and a necessary step. I want to dust off my old coding skills and learn some new languages/programs.

📚 Read more - get through my towering book backlog.

🎮 Game more - get through some games in my backlog I’ve procrastinated or got distracted from.

⚡️ #bitcoin/lightning node running - I want to learn how to properly setup and manage nodes/channels. I’m solid on self-custody and cold storage concepts, though in this same vein getting cold storage like Jade, SeedSigner, or ColdCard are top priority this year. Getting better node HW as I type this too.

💜 #NOSTR relay - setup/maintain a public relay. That’s completely new and intimidating territory for me, but exciting to learn and I have plenty of fun relay names in mind to choose from. I want to contribute my time and knowledge to this wonderful community in any possible way that I can. I am incredibly grateful for this protocol and everyone here that is taking their time to contribute.

❤️ I want to give/get more love and kindness in general. More time with loved ones and living the life.

I’m sure I will amend this list with comments or reposts later, but these are the goals in sight.
