Heyo. I hope you're doing well, and I hope you have a nice beginning of year, hopefully with people you love.
I also hope this 2019 to be a good year for you.
I would love to say that 2018 was a wild ride (for me) but... it wasnt. I couldnt be happier from leaving this whole wreck behind. The beginning of year started weak, with some depression although I dont remember why. In March my grandma almost died due to her kidney stones, and the next 5 months were about exams, doctors, more exams, surgeries, spending money, etc. all while sleeping often less than 2 hours per night, constantly in bad mood and tired, with the most extreme art block I got in my life ever.
I got the video card I wanted for years, but tbh with all the shit going on, it almost felt like a reward/price for having to put up with all the shit.
I started getting better with a lot of effort, and when the year was ending and barely starting to get better, I lost my cat to... kidney stones.
I'm way too tempted to break down and cry and complain again. And truth is, I still feel that I have a whole day where I'm allowed to do so, but... feelings dont disappear all of a sudden. My grandma is extremely happy for what happened to her this year (she says because "I got attended for that so now I'm cured, that means no more problems for a future" but... I dunno, my view is much more cynical and grim most of the time.
2018 is a year that I want to close, and not in a big awesome way, but in a dark, moody way. It was like a stain of poison mud that I can't wait to get rid of. And hell I'm going to.
Fuck you, 2018. I didnt like you and I cant wait for you to be gone.
Looking to the present and future. I'm going to return to work officially in January 5th and I'm not going to stop until July.
This incoming year looks really interesting. I'll be visiting Germany during August and September (and yes, you'll see me again at the Eurofurence! Yeehaw! I plan to make some vlogs about it), and I'll be preparing for some very important changes in my life.
I want to thank everybody for putting up with me and all the shit I had to endure, and all the saint patience you got with me. From very close friends like Katojana to Sparky the chu, YumiAkiyama, Trickypup, Ofioro, Wirvla, etc. to the people who supported me in Patreon even during the months I couldnt deliver anything (You'll get your rewards. Late but youll get em), to Zalir for putting up with me and being so patient and nice too. And to every single person who has supported me in any way, not just in Discord servers or here in fA, but also the people who believed in me and also the people who helped me to put up with the horrible things I was enduring.
Thank you very much. I dont know if I'll ever be able to retribute all the good you've given to me.
I'm grateful of every single good thing I've gotten
See you back this 2019. Lets make this incoming year a good one.
