It's been an extremely rough year. Been dealing with a lot this year. Despite the fact we felt better back in April, the loss of one of my cats hit pretty hard. It was unfortunately followed up by a harsh break-up with someone I cared for, the passing of my father (a controversial figure in my family in and of itself), the loss of ANOTHER one of my cats near the end, the processing of my sister's eventual path the next years will be due to the final stages of her disease, and the complete spiraling of my younger brother from his issues during the Christmas season has kinda put a nice shit cap on this shit sundae of a shit ice cream year. I am glad to say good by to 25 and can hope that 26 will be better.

I'm already making the efforts to change things around and get things moving next year right out the gate. Thankfully the last remaining week has very little happening, so it can be a good time to process the last bit of the year, let the past be the past, and move on.

My hope is that with how things are changing in the political landscape as well as some changes at home, we can get things moving right.

My goals for '26 is very simple: survive with the cats in my care, work towards a better self-in terms of mental health, career, and the like, and finally do what I can to reconnect with the community in full. Not just the furries, not just the people I care for, but just... being more out there like I was.

We'll see how things go.

If you do want to continue, resume or otherwise keep in contact, let me know if you don't already have access to my chat and socials. Steam/Discord seem to be my primary places, and I am trying to get more out there in places. I have found though I am one that needs to be poked to be social still, though I am gettin' better.

Hope you all had a good holidays, as well as you could. Let's do what we can to make 2026 and onward better, over time, and through the proper channels of compassion,empathy, leadership, and weirdness.
