2019 Wrapped!
6 years ago
Woo! What a year, huh? Overall, I’m extremely grateful to be in a much better place mentally compared to how I started the year. I had some hard adjustments to make, lessons to learn, and better habits to get in. From what I’ve heard, it’s been uh… quite a year for a lot of us. Struggles were had, hearts were broken, and disappointments were aplenty. However, new discoveries were also made, bonds grew, and inner strength rose to the occasion. I’m proud of you guys, and happy to see we all made it here.
Some of my New Year's Resolutions include (in no particular order)…
1. Preventing toxic people from coming back into my life. I struggled a lot this year with being detrimentally forgiving to individuals that inevitably cause me harm and stress. It takes two to tango, and I won’t deny any time I could have made better choices, but there are some where the brunt is heavily imbalanced and I need to close the door and not look back, even to those I am pressured to “love” by other friends or family.
2. Physically stretching more! We all have our jobs that work out our bodies or trap us in one spot, so it’s important to move around and little and keep that spine and dem legs loose!
3. My reading list is really getting backed up, and I haven’t actually watched many movies or shows in a long time. Sometimes I’m so tired that I use my downtime just to zombie out on my phone. If I am going to use any time for recreation, I would rather use it to enjoy all the things I’ve wanted to see/read, but keep putting off!
4. More consistency on posting! I’ll be doing my best to collaborate with my day job to give me time to post more regularly. I’ve been working a LOT this year. Tons of nine hour days that left me dead by the end of the day. I’m sorry about that. You guys have been so patient and cool about everything… I don’t wanna give much away, but I work at a huge studio in LA that has done a ridiculous amount of projects and corporate growth that’s had everybody there slammed. I watched a lot of meltdowns and anger this year. As for me, I was just so TIRED. When I got home, I simply made some dinner and played on my phone till I fell asleep. Things are looking to be better in 2020 now that several deadlines have passed. I hope we can both be optimistic about it!
Thank you for a year of fun, kindness, patience, and laughter. I hope you take some time to enjoy your holidays and feel rested and recharged to start the new year exactly the way you want to for yourself.
I’d love to hear about any of your highs and lows of 2019 in the comments! See you in the new year! ^^
My new year's resolutions are to continue to lose weight, get back into drawing, and be a good boyfriend.
I would like to thank you for the incredible art and stories you created and shared. It is a wonderful gift!
Happy New Year, Peace and Love! :3
Your resolutions are thoughtful, and overall fantastic! I hope these are goals and things you find you can achieve and consistently work towards. You got this!
Hrm, some Lows and highs for me though:
Lows
- I've butted heads with my School of Nursing program since September. I was refused accommodations to my practicum/"voluntold" hospital hours, and I was forced into a position that I had to sacrifice work hours from my jobs to almost nothing. Garbo professors all year long, to be honest.
- My car's bumper has been a wreck since July after a baby accident with a pole that is just superficial damage... to the bumper. The front passenger side vehicle has popped twice, both times when it was most inconvenient. Most likely related to rim damage in the accident.
- My Nana's health has been deteriorating, and with that side of the family not really giving too much to help there, or effective care, it's frustrating as a grandchild and a nursing student to feel so powerless.

Highs
+ My Boyfriend has started and consistently developed his own Tarot Podcast and has been doing wonderfully!
+ I HAVE GRADUATED NURSING SCHOOL PRAISE
+ I completed my 3-year Final Fantasy Campaign as of this May! SO SATISFYING, and a really good group of players ;A;
+ I have begun drawing and making my own pixel art! This is so huge for me since I struggle with visual art ;A;
+ Moving into my new apartment in Washington, and really just feeling like I have a place of m own!

Cheers to the New Years! And Happy Yiffmas everyone!
I know you always do your best and that’s awesome, but hope you don’t stretch yourself too thin! There’s no need to always be the best, you’re great as you are and that’s more than enough. Following on your journey has been a pleasure so far <3
As for me, I’ve changed so many things with life this year that I don’t even feel I’m the same person anymore. Lots of it was internal (like really working on my MH and unhealthy mindsets), lots of it was external (being more outgoing, growing out of my comfort zone, expanding my relationships, expressing myself in healthy ways, working on life goals, and MANY changes in habits).
There’s many more to come, but for now I’m just happy being where I am, knowing I can grow and that things are going to be OK
I hope you have a fantastic holiday, you deserve the best and especially to get some rest after everything you’ve done! Much love and best wishes for the next decade
I very much enjoy your art and your accompanying stories. I hope that you have a safe, healthy, happy New Year and that your holidays bring you peace and contentment.
I already told you that your stories inspired me to join the fandom this year and I'm really greatful that you made a positive impact in my life...
Hope 2020 will be a better year for all of us!
As for 2019, It's been a W I L D year. so much has happened it honestly has felt like 2 years. It's had it's ups and downs, but as for highlights,
Highs-Got a little closer to finding myself this year, Enrolled into school again, Starting to get a bit more active in posting art here, And in general working on becoming more outgoing
Lows-Got into and out of a messy relationship, Dropped a career to chase another, and got a reminder that I've got a ways to go yet.
Anyhoo, this is getting wordy, so. Here's to a new year, Can't wait to see what all you come up with this year!
