Soooo...About 2018...
7 years ago
*sigh* You know something? I think it’s safe for me and everyone in the furry community when I say that 2018...was a real shitfest. And I say this 100% sincere.
I mean, for me, the ONLY GOOD THING that has ever happened to me in 2018 is me graduating from Culinary Institute of Virginia and keeping my job as a Cafe Assistant at Refresh Cafe. Nothing else. Like, I thought me graduating from culinary school would change everything around in my life...but I guess I was wrong. It’s like I went through all that hard work and shit ALL FOR NOTHING! Nothing for me has changed for the better, it’s still same old, same old. That’s what 2018 is saying to my face, “You get NOTHING!” And to make matters worse, we’ve lost SO MANY good people this year. Those who made a difference in our world, those who made a positive impact in our lives, those who were an inspiration, etc.
As a matter of fact, speaking of losses. Remember back in November when I spoke up about the loss of my grandmother? Well, guess what? I just found out last week this month from my mother that I lost a good friend, Mr. Gary. He was married to Ms. Trinette - one of my mom’s friends, and I first met Mr. Gary at the First Fruit Church. *sigh* Oh, well...at least he is with my grandmother and the two dogs (Diamond and TJ). And you know, I bet Mr. Gary wants me to be strong, too. But, yeah, I’ll say it again: 2018 was a real shitfest!
To be honest, but ever since my culinary graduation...I’ve been thinking A LOT about myself lately. I keep looking back at my past seeing and remembering what I’ve been through, and then I was over thinking about my future. Like, for my future, I’ve been curious and asking myself: “What will happen to me now?” As far as I can tell, I’m still the same ol’ me. I mean, who else would I be unlike those who pretend to somebody they’re not. And you know what else? I forgot to mention another good thing that has happened to me in 2018 - my newborn niece! Not only do I have to look out for my nephew, but also my niece, as well. I mean, when it comes to having kids, they just...they just kinda make you feel...special...and worthy in someone’s life. And if I weren’t here right now, then I don’t know what my nephew, niece, or anyone else in my family would do without me.
Okay, now as far as how things are with reality...let’s talk about my life and times in the furry community of 2018! Apparently...umm...huh...well, to be honest, I don’t seem to recall nothing good has happened within the Furry Fandom this year. Like I said before about my life, “everything is STILL the same, and nothing’s change”. For the BETTER, that is. But you know what? Despite my times within the furry community...I feel like somewhere in the furry fandom I’m being secretly watched and admired. Not “watch watch” as in my watchers, but I mean like...like someone who is secretly and discreetly looking at your gallery, knowing you for who you are and shiz, and think you’re actually a pretty cool guy. That sort of thing. Until this “secret friend” finally has the guts to speak to you. I dunno, just...sometimes I randomly get watched on FA or added on Telegram, and then I have a few people wanting to chat with me. I DON’T have a problem with that, though! Like...the Furry Fandom is full of surprises! So, there’s no telling who will end up being your friend...or fan! Perhaps maybe there may have been some good in the furry community because as they say, “focus on the positive instead of the negative”.
Alright, so...what sort of fate stores for me in 2019? What does 2019 have for me and the furry community? Will it be a whole lot better, like a redemption? Or will it be the mother of all shitfest? I know I tried to think positive and smile for a change, but there’s no telling how 2019 will be. I guess...it’s how you make of it? Who knows? When it comes to a brand new year, it can either be a “make it or break it” year. So, like, 2018 was probably a “break it” year. I guess for 2019 we’ll never know. Oh, well. As they always say, “live life to the fullest”. Welp, here’s to 2019, I guess.
