I've got a few things I'm looking forward to this year. Firstly, there's school. 2022 was a big year for since I returned to school for the first time in 8 years after dropping out. I was so nervous about going back; bogged down with thoughts of "It's too late to get an education" and "I'm not good enough to handle school." But I made it through that first year not just unscathed, but thriving. It was a great year and really boosted my confidence. And now, it's time to see it through. On the Touhou side of things, I'm really looking forward to TouhouFest this spring! I've been to a handful of conventions over the last few years, but never one centered on any one property. But I knew as soon as I heard about it that I wanted to be a part of this. I've already bought my ticket and saved up plenty of money this year. I'm ready to go all out! I'm even getting a costume prepared to cosplay for the first time! I should probably get around to finishing that... And, uhh... embarrassing as it is to out and say, my goal for this year that I want to keep closest is to try and be more sociable. In general, of course, but mainly here in the forums and maybe the discord server. Y'know, I like to think of myself as an active user here at the shrine. I visit the site several times a week, and I try to keep up with all of the threads that catch my interest. But, looking back on things, I don't put in nearly as much as I get out. Not for a lack of effort, mind. When I do post, it's been through hours of deep thought and a little research. Sometimes, an entire afternoon will be burned away, thinking up the perfect post that'll satisfy me, and I haven't even touched the keyboard. Sometimes I never do. It's one of those things I really want to change about myself. I genuinely love it here in the forums; I love Touhou, and I want to be a fan here, and I want to reach out and make friends with people, but it requires working past myself and that's not always an easy thing to do. This year, I'm going to put in the effort to change that. That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure there'll be more to come. 2022 was a big year for me as fan and a person, and I'm going into 2023 very uncharacteristically optimistic. I know this year'll be good to me. I hope it'll be just as good for everyone else here too.

As for me I also wish the most basic thing : I wish to succeed in my medical studies, I wish that my family and my friends will be happy and won’t have trouble or problems for this year, and finally, I would like to improve my drawing skill and my English I also wish you all that your dreams come true this year, or at least, that you will achieve something great this year
