Ah, it's that time of the year again. Merry Christmas to you all!

Sorry for my recent hiatus, It's just that things have gotten very stressful lately. In mid-March, we had to go on a 5 hour long trip to get something very important done which I would rather not go into detail.

Then things got incredibly busy with my side job. For those of you wondering, I repair appliances and household electronics. It's a quite a fun job, as I see it as a puzzle to solve.

Then my mental problem began to gain the upper hand. It was now at that point that things had to change. Not only did my relationship with my devices had to change drastically, but with my own mind. I now have to be hyper-aware when any negative thoughts come up and when my mind begins to drift. So yeah, the devices are bad, but they aren't the only errant things. This battle has only gotten much more difficult as now I have to fight several enemies in separate realms, and the margin for error or loss is much smaller. It's not easy in any way, and I feel like I'm on borrowed time.

I'm not the only one who has to fight off those demons every day and neither are you. We all fight them, and no one is exempt.

Don't give up and give them the victory. You are strong! You deserve to live and happy and healthy life. Besides they don't deserve anything from you.

Also, during this time, I know I missed the recent birthdays. Things got so busy durning that time, I didn't even have time to go online, let alone see the activity.

So yeah, I'm most likely going to be going to be doing much less art and, most likely not going to be making any more birthday art, expect under maybe a few circumstances. It's simply too impractical to keep up with all these events, and its doing more harm than good. I feel incredibly stressed and constrained just writing all this.

I'm also maybe considering leaving the site, but don't worry yet, I haven't made the decision yet, but only time will tell.

Man, today was a busy day. Today our family spent hours on the road as we needed to go to a major city to get some important things done. On our way, we dodged not one but two bullets. The first was relatively minor traffic jam. The cause was a truck that turned over. This was just before our first destination. This one is nothing compared to the next one. On our way to our second destination, about halfway through the expressway, the road was completely congested. They were doing maintenance on it so all the traffic was moved to one side. We had to go out of our way to get past it. Little did we know, there was another overturned truck on the usable side which rendered the expressway impassible. It took more than half an hour to get past it. Thankfully we got to our destination safe and sound. I left out a lot of details as I was in a rush. I even wrote it down in a pocket notebook as an experiment.

I hope you all had a great Christmas! I also had a great time too except for a headache unfortunately.

Also, I finally got the chance to watch the Super Mario Movie on Christmas Eve. In my opinion, the plot was a little strange. My siblings also thought the same thing. I would rather not give out too many details as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it yet. In conclusion, the film was rather disappointing and it wasn't what I was expecting when it came to Super Mario.


What do you think? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments, and anyways, I hope you all had a great Christmas.

This is my first journal on this site. I can't believe it is already September. Time flies, especially in these times.
