2022 was… a lot. I experienced so many highs and lows at breakneck speeds that I’m surprised to have made it out of the year alive without severe whiplash injuries. It was the year I got to conduct my first professional interview as a journalist, the year I moved into my own place, the year I got engaged to the love of my life, and the year I really found myself. It’s also the year I experienced upsetting realizations about people I once considered friends, the year I became disillusioned with what I once thought was a dream job, and the year I learned I could not work at Starbucks for more than a month. There was love, there was loss, and there was a surprisingly therapeutic return to cosplay. So what now?
Goals for 2023
I want to challenge myself creatively and socially with my cosplay, writing, and video content creation! My goals for 2023 are to…
- -Thoughtfully curate and expand on my art and items in my Etsy shop
- -Attend more conventions as a cosplay guest and artist
- -Do a big, ridiculous, fantastic cosplay armor build
- -Be more consistent
- -Interact with my peers more
- -Grow my platforms
- -Write more
- -Enjoy more
Where to Find Me in 2023 (on the internet!)
As a content creator, keeping up with social media can be tricky. This year, I plan to focus primarily on building my video platforms, regularly creating for my OnlyFans and Ko-Fi pages, and writing more on my website! If you want to follow along, here is where you can find me and all my art, vids, spicy pin-up content, and writing:
–DeLa-Doll.com (obviously)
I’m also still on Twitter, but who knows how long Twitter will still be a thing under the rule of Elongated Muskrat. Anyway, that’s all for this post! I hope the new year brings all of us amazing new opportunities, love, growth, and happiness!
