2024 (and before...) reflection

I was thinking of doing one for this year, especially since I have quite a lot to say, this will more just be for me to ramble on a not very polished blog-article thing.

A lot has happened to me this year as compared to the previous two years beforehand and that's saying something considering a lot of shit went down in mid to late 2022 to early to mid 2023.

In a simple list I will go over things I have done or achieved in 2024:

• I went job hunting and applied for a nursing job, got in and am still working at this job part time.
• I explored a lot more of Singapore than I ever did in my previous 16 years of living by myself.
• Me and my dear friend, Xavier finished the TTCC animation we were working on for 7 months
• I turned 18 (I also more recently drank wine for the first time and got super wasted)
• I actually got irl acquaintances I hang out with occasioanlly (all from work)

While writing this I realize it's nothing too special but this is crazy compared to the absolute state of nothing I was in in 2022-2023, where all I did was stay in my room and get on the computer.

It's hard to believe I am actually an adult technically now, and some part of me still feels like nothing has changed drastically yet especially with my personal circumstances, but I acknowlegde and am glad to be an adult and finally mature and somewhat independent of myself.

This is where something I've been thinking off for the latter part of this year for this website and my art come in, I started this website when I was 15 years old, some of my older pages if unaltered (if any) somewhat reflect that. Like all people do, I grew up and a lot of my mindset and wants have changed and I believe my website is an extension of that. While this website will always still be an online hub for all things I enjoy or want to talk about, what I want to talk and display on my site will most likely change. That is to say, I feel like the maturity rating of this site to me will be bumped up, I may only be 18 but I feel there is a level of disconnect somewhat between someone who's like 14-15 potentially viewing my site now and the art I create. In order to really be able to show or talk about much more 17+ topics I feel like a much needed warning for that is needed, and I just want to "rebrand" my website into something more original.

I'll definitely still talk about fandom or just general media stuff, but I want to pioritize much more original works of mine like my story ideas etc. I hope this makes a lick of sense but I feel like growing my website to an even more "authetic" version of myself.

IDK, that's my thoughts on a bit of the future of this website, I said it before but I want to change my url to something more original/a custom domain but I'll have to deal with the deadlinks that'll bring so if I do wish me luck man.

Misc stuff

Other stuff now unrelated somewhat, I'll most likely try and open up my kofi again, maybe open the occasional commission, or have some member locked shit on there. If you're potentially interested in that.

I'll try and juggle my work life and re entering school again soon for 2025, it'll be a bit complicated cause I haven't been in school for about 3 years or so but I'm determined to finally get it over with.

My fixation on my ocs has been slowed down these past months than before, but I also definetly want to focus more on that and other skills for it like writing and game development!

Soley for christmas, I didn't get much special but I did get mother fucking ANTONBLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to play it soon tysm Xavier for the gift :-]

Kind closing thoughts/2025 stuff

I will admit I have been increasingly paranoid and anxious over what's to come in 2025 and just hate this feeling of being so... unknowing of the future and what it brings, all I can hope no matter what is that, maybe I'll be okay and my friends and everyone is alright.

And also soon it will be the 3 year anniversary of me creating this website so hashtag yay, anyways that's all I got for now... so you all soon

(new website index in the making)
