It's cool that even some family is calling me Ebb now. I've debated on changing my first name legally to Ebb, but have decided against it as I do think there should be a division between my fursona and me. Still, it's cool as fuck to pick up my Starbucks order and it says Ebb OwO on it.
As 2023 comes to an end I reflect back on what this year brought. It brought the 20 year anniversary of our relationship. It brought fun memories as I dive deeper into the furry community. It brought stress and heartache, but if I’m going to be perfectly honest with myself a good portion of the stress we endured this year was brought on by ourselves.
It brought a seizure to David, but in that seizure it brought to light the damage he’s been doing to his body almost his whole life, and has brought to life the strength in himself to make the necessary changes to fix his bad habits.
It brought us eating at the table (some nights a week at least) which I feel has brought us together even closer as well.
It brought us Galaxia, and my refusal to use her legal name Zelda when referring to her.
It honestly hasn’t been a bad year. There has been a bad taste in my mouth this holiday season, but I don’t think it was a 2023 thing. I think it was a “not paying my taxes” kind of thing. That issue has loomed over my head since tax season.
To be square, this year has actually been awesome. And isn’t it funny every year I think it’s a shit year, when I do my wrap up of the year I realize it actually wasn’t? How much time and energy do I waste each year thinking “next year will be better”?
Clearly the answer to having an amazing year is perspective.
My hopes is that 2024 gives us the wisdom we need to harness that perspective for the enrichment of our lives. May we see just how many of the cards we actually hold and wield that knowledge to allow ourselves to be happy and free.
