2017 Year In Review

I had promised myself that 2017 would be the year of creation. Where I would really put an effort into my creative self, as well as my ambitious self. So let's see how that worked out.

Before we get into the actual summary, I just wanted to say that I spent New Years Eve with family, playing card games, in such genuine happiness and warmth, that it felt nostalgic, and ephemeral in a way that is altogether happy and sad. A bittersweetness, that I hope is only complemented by good things that I know I can look back to this year.

So let's start of with creations: I made 73 completed works of art, as well as having really delved into my novel Out of those completed works of art, 21 were personal drawings, 31 for a COMPLETED Inktober, 7 for showing, 6 for friends, 5 for radness, and 3 non-drawing pieces.

Next let's go to ambitions: I was able to really start my archive work for my family Bought all the pieces and assembled my brand new super duper deluxe desktop I also bought a new laptop that I can/have draw/drawn in. I also was able to buy videogames for the first time on my own in about 5 years and prep for streams I started some crazy big projects, that I hope to see completed in this year

Next friends: I was able to meet up with @aurelious-auria and @feraligatrusedfly alongside a bunch of my other friends I was told by many people that they love and appreciate me, and i was able to personally justify that through the nerdiest thing i could think of: a poll I also started to RP with a friend, and through it became a lot closer to her And oh gosh, so many people gifted me things and wrote me things, and drew me things, that I know I'm loved

Other positive things: While the depression is still kicking my butt, I have found ways to fight at it, and make myself feel better, if only for small bouts I started to open up to the idea that my talents are decent, and that there may be a hobbyist future in it for me I became more confident in my personality and have found ways to prevent the bouts of crippling self loathing through cataloged reassurances I started using "XD" again unironically, and god do I feel unburdened.

and now, the negatives:

The biggest thing that destroyed me this year was the passing of my grandma. Something that I still have trouble really talking about. It's strange and awful, but known and expected. I just wish it wasn't. To that point, many people passed away this year, and one that hit me close was Chester Bennington. I don't think I have to elaborate why, but yeah. Politics this year has been an enormous strain, and I have had a non-ceasing paranoia since the election last year. Seeing the way I have to maneuver and speak out about basic human empathy has really hurt my soul. I have had such enormous feelings of loneliness and isolation, that was only compounded by the fact that I've only hung out with people 14 times this past year.

Into the new year: It has been a strange and tumultuous year, but I've found ways to combat it. Perhaps not successfully, but better than last. History tells us that time is cyclical, that tyrants rise, revolutions happen, radical change comes, things settle, and then things escalate to tyranny again. I don't want our cycle to end in the fall of the republic, but I don't want to sit back idly either. I will keep fighting the fight to make myself better, to help others, and to create as much of a positive force in this world as I can. I created so much this past year, and I will create more in the coming year. I will keep going, and inshallah, god willing, we will all make the world better for each other.

Fight for a good new year. Dare to believe you can survive.

Hi! I noticed you had some taobao service recs in your faq, but is there a specific one that you personally trust?

I always use TaoBaoNow. They’ve always been very good to me, easy to talk to and quick to respond to communication and their ordering system is very easy to use.
