2017.

Oh boy. This year man, I just-- oof. I really didn't like it. Definitely one of my least favorite years, if not my definite least favorite. Loooottts of mental trauma; really sucked man. Really sucked. The thing that caused it all; they made me hate myself to the moon and back. I felt so so SO useless. I was drained of my everything and was kept from my friends. Though,, besides all of the huge amounts of c r a p thrown onto me this year, there were definitely good moments. I was able to get back with my friend after.. previously splitting up,, and I'm really grateful for that.. As well as I got to meet Cookie-Splat this year,, and even though there was someone else I had to deal with, I'm extremely glad I was able to meet her. I had a wonderful time and it made a really good leap in our friendship, I'd say..

I also went on two dive trips; one being a full week in Cozumel, Mexico, where I got to spend time with a friend who doubles as my main dive master. We also went on a cruise and I was able to dive at a site that National Geographic films some episodes of shark week at! (There were.. hundreds of sharks there-) So that was a very nice highlight. As well as band! We had a very fun marching band show this year. We even got grand champion at one of our competitions!! Everyone was so stoked!!!!

September... Mainly toward the end of it; I think it was the 21st? I got a huge huge HUGE relief off of my shoulders and in all honesty I remember crying that day I was so happy,, And while the thing was something horrible, in the end I guess it helped me build myself up as a person.. Ever since I finally stood up for myself and left, I've worked to stand up for myself more. To stop being such a pushover.. I want to be able to feel good about myself! To be happy often! And to most definitely be better for my friends than ever before..

As for art, I have also most definitely improved. I'm finally starting to enjoy what I see.. And while I'm still nowhere near high quality, I'm working on it and hoping to change that in 2018. My overall anatomy this year has changed drastically, and I finally have been able to build me an art style I'm very happy with. I'm happy with my designs, my characters, my.. well, almost everything!

I've kept a lot of my friends this year, as well as made new ones.. And even connected back with some old pals that I really missed.. I'm glad that you guys have stuck with me.. You guys help keep me going. Thank you for so much for that.. I really hope we stay together for years to come.

..They say, that when you fall hard, all you can do is pick yourself back up and persevere.. In all honesty, I have a feeling that I can do that.. So, I welcome 2018 in open arms.. I have a feeling that this'll really be my year.

Happy New Years everyone.. I hope you guys have a great one. Good luck to everyone,, here's to a new start. <3
