52 things

So. i have made a list of 52 new things I plan to do this year

Some aren’t necessarily entirely new… but they’re things i don’t do often / enough, and I want to do again. The plan is to do one a week, but it doesn’t really matter the frequency at which i do them, as long as i smash this shit by December 31st….
