Starting off 2020.
5 years ago
I have been having a tough time the last year, my grad school applications did not go through, was interviewed but not accepted. This time I am adding in some master's programs and the like, hopefully I can get in somewhere. It is a journey, but I am hopeful. I am hopeful and I am doing my best and that's all I can do.
Just need to find a new job in my field to get a little bit more experience. Lose weight. That's my lifestyle goal for 2020, to loose weight.
My goals here is to finally post a few more stories, see what happens. Open commissions in a lull time, but I may be delaying that for a while longer.
My car was broken into and they stole a lot of stuff. Maybe up to $1,500USD in losses. Broken window, and a lot of stuff gone. My father left a power drill in there and that's gone...but more heart-breakingly, it was my first cosplay that the thieves took for some reason. I had a PUBG cosplay that was so excellent, and they even took the rusted cast iron pan.
I only was able to cosplay in it three times, and I loved it. Went to PAX West 2018, Anime Expo LA 2019, and SDCC 2019. Though the last one was only me hanging around outside. It even got me a drink from a local restaurant. I even got invited to the Blue Hole PUBG DEV party at PAX West. That breaks my heart so much, that my cosplay, and the patches are all gone. Though I can rebuild. Ultimately it was all commercial items. So it can be replaced, and the memories remain, but it hurts.
Worryingly they also stole my prop airsoft M249 I used for cosplay, so that's just...yeah. Worrying. The officer that took my report figures that they will realize it isn't a real gun and toss it, and if they find it, they'll return it, but...yeah, even the reporting officer is a little sketched out with that in the wild in the hands of thieves.
What can you do? I can only hope insurance will cover it. And if not...well...sigh. I guess I will work to rebuild. Take commissions that go towards cosplay...life is a mess, and all you can do is take it a day at a time.
I hope 2020 treats you all better than me. I hope 2020 will get better for myself.
Please have a safe start to a new year and new decade everyone.

I hope 2020 treats you a lot kinder, and that your hard work in school will pay off
I don't want to mooch. I just want to get some time to get some art done, some writing done. I want to live vicariously through art.
