And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."
I still can't believe the year is already ending. It looks like January was just yesterday. Now, it's also almost tomorrow. Time is weird and it keeps ticking and moving forward and we are left with our own devices to cope and make the most of it. New Year Resolutions are some interesting things. Around Venezuela, there are several traditions and superstitions linked to what to do to start the year with luck, love, prosperity and more. It's like we were already in the moon of "manifesting" things before it was cool.
Anyhow, manifesting doesn't work. It's just like prayers. If you don't act, you don't anything.
And going back to the beginning of the year, I reached the mark for my Hive goals and set new ones for 2024. On the personal level, I'm still way off from a set course, but there are some ideas I'll be working for a quarter of next year to see were they get me.
So, I would say I experience both the sense of loss and excitement for this New Year.
Losses come in the sense of not having been able to complete the goal of moving out of this house and starting other projects that require more space. There's room for improvement in every area, especially the one relate to money. It will be a hard job doing something to have a better outcome next year, but I already spent a big chunk of this month planning ahead to get something started that might get me somewhere.
And it requires teaching. So you know I'm serious about getting out of this stale comfort zone.
I'll add to that the need of improving physical health. I tried to go back to this during the last months, but got sick until last week. I'll blame the weather change for that, but this year, I wanna try training for the whole length just like I did with content creation. Let's hope this discipline is transferable.
One of the many things that has got me hyped about next year is being able to repeat the feat of posting for another whole year. This has one goal: amassing Hive Power. You can do a lot of things with it and earn tokens that in time can help you get even more HP.
The process of daily content creation has also helped me a lot to keep creative and find better ways of doing my things around the house. It has helped me pace workshop works, recording gameplays, editing videos, and more. Everything I had to do in some way or another pushed me to learn a new skill or get better at something I already knew.
It might sound crazy, but I'm already used to do this. So why not keeping it up? Maybe, a new form of content will get my attention.
And it will sound as the worst cliché ever, but next year is a leap year, so we have 366 opportunities to do some interesting stuff. That would also make the Buzzy Bee Medal for 2024 even more special.
This year also marked a coming back to the stage as a musician. None of the gigs have been paid ones, but I'm not trying to do anything else than getting on track with the fact of playing solo. It's been a blast every single time and let's hope there are more chances to do such a thing and even get some money for that.
The last bits of thing that have got me excited about next year are simple. First, there's the halving of Bitcoin coming up. Maybe our Hive will get to a higher peak this time. The launch of @holozing for which I'm hoarding much $ZING as I can. And chances to collaborate with more projects around Hive and outside of it. Everything moves towards an awesome experience for this 2024. I hope it goes beyond my expectations. I'm still figuring out which will be my big project for the year. Last one was the laptop and I made it.
Just gotta put my mind into it and it will come to me!

I do wish I'd saved more BTC no matter what, truth be told I kinda gave up on it a bit.
I'm looking forward to getting a bit fittter as well.
I missed a few days this year, but I didn't want to force a post when I just didn't have time nor any inclination I guess. Or beat myself up for missing one.
Hope you reach all your goals.
Posting daily is a lot about having a plan. I think I made one dbuzz post one day I didn't feel like it just to keep the ball rolling.
I wish I had had some BTC to brag. Never got into the stuff even when I knew about it from the start.
And well, aren't all surfers fit? I bet that whole deal requires tons of core strength.
Hope you accomplish all your goals for this 2024.
Ha, well, you can lose fitness easily in these long long flat spells!
I usually have a plan, but some weeks I'm just tired of the whole thing.
I usually just get sick from my allergies and that stops me from working out until I feel fine again.
Didn't know you could lose fitness while surfing. But I've never done it 🤣

Let's see about the new space. It would be amazing. The year will be full of interesting things. That much I can tell.
Likewise, let's see how it develops!
