Hey folks! Since it's coming up at the end of the month, I figure I look back this year and reflect a little bit on what happened and hopes for next year.

Online-wise, I'm pretty happy with how things went! I was commissioning artists at a decent rate, got pieces I really loved. Worked with other people that liked my characters. I'm pretty happy with the results. Got more followers on twitter, but that never really mattered to me. On twitter, I just retweet artists in hopes that people like there work and commission them.

Personally...well the first half of the year was rough to be honest. I was depressed from pushing through college for three years. I didn't have time for a lot of things besides work and college. However, I did see the light at the end of the tunnel. I started meeting some friends in person and started making plans to travel. And once college was over, then things looked up! I took a few vacations, I went to Europe to meet old and new friends, and went to a convention there. Went to two more conventions with friends and I actually started to enjoy cons! I got a partial rat suit, which you all know as Ramsey, and I never felt more connected with the community. I'll be honest, I've never felt happier in my life, because I neglected my social life due to college and work. Now that I have the time, I can finally invest in those connections and relations.

What do I want to do this year? Well there are a lot of things...but there are a couple I'm willing to share. First, I would like to keep the pace on commissions, I was pretty happy with the pace and the breaks I had and I'm addicted to supporting artists. I could be better at managing my money in this aspect, but I'll pay closer attention to that.

Second, I would love to get better at socializing. I feel like I'm getting better and I took risks this year. I just want to keep doing that and meet people I vibe with. If I can continue to do that, I think I'll be happier in the long run.

Finally, I want to start finding myself personally and romantically. Online I've gotten a variety of art and just by looking at my gallery, it is hard to see which way I swing. The honest answer to that is I don't know. I support all types of relationships and bodies and because I spent a good chunk of my life working on my career, I never explored it in real life. I would like to start doing that and I would like to find out what I like and don't like. I want to explore this safely and in my comfort zone, so I can figure out what I actually want.

Anyway, I appreciate you reading! Hope everyone has a happy new year and I hope everyone has a good year! :D
