King

In the year of Our Lord-

And we are stopping right there. I usually start off with the year of Our Lord Bowie and, bless His name, we are not doing that this year.

I was at a loss on what would be the theme for this year, what would be the tag on my blog to note that this happen in 2023.

And when I was doing my year reading, the song came on and that solidified that inking of an idea I had for my theme: “King” by Florence and the Machine.

The line “I am no mother, I am no bride, I am king” hit me. I am no mother, I am no bride, what am I then?

I am King.

Last year was a trip of discovering Florence and the Machine and I went down the on all the vids I could find on the YouTubes.

Along with the theme song of “King”, my Year Card is Moon: “I perceive the truth through the inner veil and its reflection.” And that hits me so well for this year.

As for my goals for 2023, I take a moment to acknowledge that I won in getting shit done in 2022 but I did not get everything done. Most of what I did not get done carried over to this year.

What I discovered at my birthday and am carrying on in this year is that I want things. If I cannot get the things I want, I will defy my last 42 years and be the better version of me that I never knew I could be. This is not going to happen overnight; this will be a yearlong work.

By the end of this calendar year, I want to fill my clean, empty hall with grand self-mythology.
