Another Lunar New Year means another bit of self reflection. Given this event happens around my birthday it creates an interesting duality in that on that day I think about life in a practical, real sense, and on Lunar New Year I reflect in a symbolic sense.
I must always stress that I do have a deep love of symbolism, but take nothing about such things as any Zodiac, western or otherwise, as anything more than some stuff people came up with it — I use it as a method of personal reflection but hold absolutely zero value in any supernatural concepts related to such.
The Dragon. Strength. Power. Dignity. Control. All things I’ve felt have been lacking since the events of mid 2022. If last year was the Year of the Rabbit and was my time to be cautious and plan, this is my year to strike; to reclaim all that I lost due to betrayal. Maybe then I can finally heal from the damage done. Maybe. Hopefully.
To that end this year will be devoted to regaining an absolute command of my life, and to me hopefully returning to form in my creative works, my professional career, my hobbies, and in my self; to better take care of my physical and mental health. To feel, for lack of a better way to phrase things, safe, in the world I live in.
I will burn a path towards personal victory, no matter the cost.
