Over the next few months, I’m going to slowly go through everything I have and tidy things up. (both online and off) I have been avoiding clearing stuff away for far too long now, and everything is busy a huge mess because of it.
who knows, maybe it’ll help me actually get somewhere, because right now, I’m just stagnating.
