Okay, hi guys, welcome back to X's and O's. I'm your host, Shannon Beverage. If you are watching this on

YouTube, I am so sorry. There is no video. It's just my voice. I'm traveling for the holidays for New Year's. I

popped on a plane and I went to Toronto to spend New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, whatever,

with Vanessa and all my friends in

Toronto and I'm so so happy to be here but yeah I just wanted to quickly pop on and say to

y'all a happy new year I hope that you had an amazing 2024 and if you didn't I hope that you are

looking forward to the new year and know that it's a fresh start

and literally like anything, anything that happened in this year, you can leave it behind.

And yeah, 2025. It just has a good ring to it, right? Like, let's all manifest some good stuff

for this year. And on that note, if you haven't yet, if you want to come to my tour,

it is this, it's this year. It's March 2025. So please come hang out with me and Vanessa on tour.

And I will have the ticket links below. If you haven't joined my Patreon yet, please join my Patreon.

I am looking forward to what we do in 2025 on there.

I'm thinking some more vlogs and, yeah, just more content in general.

So if you don't, if you're not on there, please join me.

I know in my solo episode from Christmas Day, so last week,

I mentioned lightly some of my resolutions for the new year,

like, or hoping that I get into working out and reading more books. But I think my biggest

resolution for this year is to feel kind of like more, I don't know the right way to say it, but kind of like more

like ownership of myself and like feeling like I belong to myself. Because I know I have

dated a few people over the last 10 years and spent not as much time alone. But it's not just that. It's also,

I don't know, feeling kind of like, feeling kind of like I belong to the internet and I belong to
