UPDATE: 2021 is gonna be a good year
5 years ago
To be honest... that's like a false positive... cause 2020 was/is the lowest point in everyone's lives... and ANYTHING after this shit year WILL or SHOULD be better. My patience ratio is now recalculated to 100% for every thing else and 0% for stupid. My give-a-shit-o-meter has also declined in massive numbers. My fields of fucks is STILL barren. My family STILL annoys the fuck out of me, but I gotta give it to my aunt for the last few days of this old year rolling into the new one a hail mary save. MVP as you would call it?
Cause out of my ENTIRE family; she is the only one who understands my stress. Couple days ago, she gave me a call to ask if I wanted to house sit for 2 weeks. Needless to say I fucking jumped that opportunity like if it was free vacation. Cause to me, it really fucking is and she KNEW I would welcome it. I TOLERATE people for the most part, I can be social, go out, have fun, do parties, all that extrovert shit, but for the most part. I LOVE MY QUIET SPACE. Being alone. It is fucking amazing. I'm not talking 'my own room' I'm talking about my own space. First night, I got great, UNINTERRUPTED, a little more than 8 hours of sleep. Fucking RARE for artists man... and today I woke up naturally. No tiredness/grogginess. I am definitely not wasting this opportunity. Taking me a couple days to get into the groove of how my portable setup works and I am really liking it! For those who are curious: ROG M15 laptop + Huion Kamvas 13 (which doubles as my second screen) + keypad. No more desktops for me! Streaming is gonna be the next test. Laptop is handling my program loads like a BEAST. So I am happy with my selection. I'm getting my schedule in order, planning next year's major goals. I am getting shit DONE.
I'm gonna enjoy these 2 weeks... and trust meh... it's gonna fly by SO FAST.... but it's a good recharge to tackle all the shit that's gonna come pouring for the next year. I hope you guys still planning your resolutions, cause even if you don't stick to them, just writing it up kickstarts your attitude in WANTING to change things for the better. So get to it!

I totally get you too with needing your own space. I remember having the whole apartment to myself for a few months and it was fantastic! It feels like you have so much more room to breath and spread out.
Hang in there everyone, we're in the home stretch.
Honestly. With how the last decade has been going I would still expect the upcoming year to be even worse. I'll be very cautious, I'd suggest the same to other people.
You should definitely enjoy those 2 weeks though!
Oh and I don't do resolutions anymore, I just do things when I want and need to do them. Don't need the slow increment of a number for that. :B
My hope is to avoid the new China'Rona virus strain that has been discovered and the associated authoritarian/totalitarian response to it, avoid a civil war, avoid World War 3, avoid a great depression, and not end up homeless.
Cheers to 2021!
