All I want from 2024 is to find my center again. To move back in to my own home after so many months adrift so I can have friends stop by, invite new feline companions into my heart, rest my head in my own bed, on my own pillows, and finally settle in to a sustainable routine.

I want balance, a chance to catch my breath, a safe, quiet, peaceful home where I can see to my own needs well enough to start feeling like a person again. I’m so tired of living in limbo while the world changes around me into something terrifying and strange.
