So this year was rough, Alot happened but I don't feel like going into detail, between the debacle at work that cost me my job, (they proceeded to loose the rest of the original staff and imported workers from out of state to replace us btw), dealing with the subsequent turmoil of wondering if there really is something wrong with me or if I was in the right to stand up for myself, dealing with some furry drama on the side, loosing friends, stepping out of my comfort zone to try and make friends, getting ripped off with a new replacement job that turned out to be really shady, and coming to terms with being almost 30 and starting to feel soreness in my back more than I used to after doing any amount of work, 2024 was a bit rough.
In all of this, My friends were here to support me and I haven't slipped down into depression as deeply as I could, and for that I'm thankful. My only regrets are that I feel woefully inadequate when it comes to reciprocating that support or kindness. I tried this year for example, to make up for some of the gift art I've received cuz I don't like being a freeloader, but I'm either disappointed with the result, or so mad at the early sketches and how terrible they work that I rage quit the piece altogether.
I just at the end of the day want to be happy, self sufficient and have a respectable amount of work done that I can sit back and say I did ok. I wanna hang out with friends and share experiences with similar interests, and I want to make the friends I already have happy.
Some of the changes I'd like to see myself get this year are a full time job in construction, even if its just basic labor; I've found having something at the end of the day to look at and be able to say "I did that" in the case of a newly completed wall/foundation/roof panelling or entire house etc, is morally uplifting, and I sleep better at night from both the mental contentment and the sore tired muscles.
I'd also like to see my art pick up more and swing in a more sfw direction. Last year I did alot of smut, more than I did wholesome work, and while working on it at the time may bring me temporary sly delight, when you step back at the end of the year and look back and realize most of the thinking you did was with your 2nd head, it can be disheartening. Sexual themes aren't the focus of the story I'm trying to tell with Levi or Fahroe but I sure do alot of it, so I wanna swing more towards worldbuilding and wholesomeness.
Speaking of worldbuilding I wanna start doing that more. I've made a metric ton of lore about my characters and their universe and I'd like to start putting it to pen and paper or art, rather than bullet points on a .doc or crammed into my noggin slowly degrading over time. I do wanna eventually write a book in a sci fi setting with everything I have dreamed up, but sometimes I don't know where to begin.

Anyways enough of my rambling, TL;DR 2024 sucked for me, I want a job working construction in 2025, wanna make more clean sfw art, and start writing about my story I wanna tell one day. Best of luck and blessings upon thee in 2025, lets see where it goes!

Also side note, Black Ops 2's campaign takes place this year. Treyarch, I want a remaster xD
