2024 end-of-year reflections
11 months ago
General
This year has been the equivalent of a revolution for me.
After eight years, I finally recognized that I couldn't keep doing the same stuff forever; or at least, I recognized that it was finallly time to, after a drenage of ideas that I solved once I started drawing and revealed the kinks I was so afraid to admit. All this though wouldn't have happened without finding my definitive scalesona. Whom was readily accompained by a second one, and their identies are equal and opposite sides of me, and this is something I'm proud of: Random and Modnar are not just made to be liked by me, in face they both are me. That's my idea of sonas: characters that represent your real self. I hope this new cycle can give me as many friends and ideas as the previous one did.
All this made me manage to finally leave DeviantArt, the website that had nurtured me for long, but whom I became disaffected. Still, reading that final letter I published there always gives me goosebumps. It's been like leaving your parents' home forever: the relief and the melancholy happening at the same time.
Even outside the internet I walked down a harsh mental road that forced me to face what I really am and where I want to be in the future. It finally made me recognize that my life is where I am now. For years I've wanted to be abroad, and part of me still does, but at 31 I want to be able to plan my things without thinking "Eh, what if one day I manage to leave...?" It's been really freeing. As much as I'd rather be from other places, I can still extract the best in life from Milan, my hometown. In short, I've become more adult, and feel more at peace. At least now.
Before the final greetings, let me tell you a bit about the cons I'll be attending in 2025. I already booked everything for Awoostria (Vienna, July 24-27) and will surely attend Furizon (Milan, June 3-7). I'm thinking about FurryWeekend (Netherlands, April) and Goldenhorn (Slovenia, November), but it's just ideas.
So I guess that 2025 will just be the natural continuation of the revolution that happened in 2024. No more just a dragon writer, but being a furry in general. I have a great esteem of this community, they represent everything I stand for.
See ya!

Again, if this makes you totally happy, that is fine by me. And even if you leave DA, I don't. I still get messages from people that I reply comments on there as much as I do here (in fact, I end up commenting more on DA and Youtube than I do on here or Weasyl).
For me, 2024 was an okay year for me, but the weight for my body got worse overtime, to where I realized I needed a massive change in how I eat and drink stuff. Most of it has been junk food this year, and I wish to reduce it, along with getting a second job, and exercising as much as I can and such (including a better sleep schedule).
I don't see myself as a furry any time soon, nor going to conventions like you are doing, but I do hope this year was such a revelation that would continue into 2025 and beyond. Again, had it not been for your DA profile, I would have not known your existence last year/this year.
Sounds like u have quite a bit of this coming year planned out as well. Onwards to great 2025 ahead!
