Well, today is January 15th, the same birthday as the amazing Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. It really did always feel special to know I shared a birthday with such an amazing person such as him, and it made me really want to study and get to know him while growing up through school. I know that his 'day' is celebrated on the third Monday of January, but his birthday is still the important one in my opinion.

Anyway, I'm 31 today. Really awful year. Lost the remaining pet I still had from the early 2000s. My dear online furry friend Volsar, whom I'd known for around 10-15 years, ended up tragically dying due to cancer. There's ugliness everywhere due to constant conspiracies involving politics, there's a ton of fighting (and dying) due to Covid and the vaccine, I've gotten several medical scares...and yet through it all, I'm still here.

So...I survived another year on this planet. Huzzah?
