2018: A Year In Review
7 years ago
Salmontations,
Last year, I made a collage of photos from 2017 and uploaded it. I enjoyed teh concept, though the crafting was tedious. I wanted to do the same thing this year, but I fucked it up haha. I accidentally moved photos from my photography folder into the 2018_YIR folder, and tried to undo it with some CTRL+Z action. Well, using "undo" didn't return my files back to their originally folder, so know I have to downloaded them back from this site. Perfect! Anyways, that was a major buzzkill, so I decided to write my year in review. I'm pretty sure only one or two of your read my journals, so it's almost a wasted opportunity, but I enjoy writing, so here we go!
2018 saw an overall reduction in photos uploaded to the site, at least, ones I was proud of. I continued my trending theme of moto-centric photography that is admittedly, getting old and repetitive. The lack of proper equipment meant that I couldn't make the most of what little trips I made. Even so, college was my focus above all else, to my benefit and to my downfall.
It could be said that I have been removing myself from the furry community, my destructive habits lending a hand in backtracking what I've established. Hell, I even removed my last journal about the nightclub because I was embarrassed. But this is my life, good or bad, I want to share it with those who are interested and I want a document to look back on.
The header for these paragraphs implies that I grew somehow. For sure, I matured. The mistakes of 2017 did not return in 2018. I have maintained a full year of stable rental history with no roommate conflict. I have become stronger in the face of difficulty and I've gained knowledge and confidence in my trade. That's why i'm here in this sodding city. I've faced challenges that contributed to my growth. My transmission failed and I had to rely on myself to get back on the road, I bit the bullet and pushed myself out of my comfort one at the nightclub, I pushed past an old flame and freed myself of their memory, and I acclimatized to living away from my hometown. I'm sure there are other things I didn't mention, but those were the big ones.
Blooming a little late when it comes to my community involvement, I recaptured my identity on this site. I intend to invest more in my character in the future. I've remembered how much I love the furry community and how expressive I can be with it. I would love to attend a convention, and since I'm starting my career in a week from now, I can afford to travel. Washington State's Anthro Northwest looks like a blast, though west Washington in November is notoriously rainy. Anyways, I'm getting way off track here.
2018 was not a good year for my sex life. After the eviction scare, I shelled up. I did mess around a few times, haha. I invited an older gentlemen in for a one night stand and ended up talking with him for a couple hours. I enjoyed his company, but we didn't stay in touch at all. Later in the year, I was lucky enough to meet an Airman at McCord Air Force base. That night was definitely my best sexual experience, some of the details are groggy, thank to Jack Daniels, but my god was I taken up in ecstasy. I remember, he even prodded at me in the middle of the night for round two. Unfortunately, he didn't want a relationship and we dropped out of contact. I can't seem to hold anyone down. I feel pretty down about that. But I'm only 19, I'm sure my twenties will bring me more, and potentially better, experiences.
From the cityscape of Tacoma, to the wetlands of Tahuya, to the mountain range at Haller Pass, I flew across road and dirt to escape my room.
From struggling to live in a depressed state, to stepping up to the plate to become a better mechanic, I have developed myself for the better.
2019 will bring a more exiting and rich life for me. I will have a full-time job as a powersports technician, I will have my best friend a few blocks away from me, and I will have the resources to indulge my hobbies. I want to kill my loneliness, I want meet new people, make more friends, and I want live like a Casanova. I will not be beaten down again. I will stand in the worn in soles of my boots, head high in the sky, with the wind at my back. I will be free.
Since I joined Fur Affinity in Jan, 2014, I transformed a few times. Though my work is underappreciated by the site (either because my work isn't that good or because the theme isn't what people come here for), there are still 103 of you who watch me as I progress. I'm honored.
See you on the other side, where the grass is greener.
