I'm going with Chuck here into the new year.

I'm gonna stubbornly find the joy in writing and life in 2025.

Happy new year everyone!!!!

I wish I could make some art for y'all or go around saying happy new years in all of your inboxs but art block has hit and I got like no sleep last night so I don't have enough energy to do so <:,(

At the very least I've said happy new year through a few posts ^^;

Here's a lil recap on my year: (warning, long rant)

•I've improved significantly in digital art, branching out more than I ever thought possible a few months before I joined Tumblr and I'm eternally greatful for all the support that Tumblr has given me as well<3

•Speaking of Tumblr, I joined a few months ago and it's truly made an impact on my life. I couldn't be more happy for all of my moots and such. Y'all are wonderful<3

• I'm getting into more fandoms, making more art, feeling more inspired, feeling happier and more welcome, and so so so much more.

• my gnome collection has grown. I'm the proud owner of 2 baby gnomes and one giant mother gnome.

• many many tragedies have happened this year in my life. If I had to list the most significant, it would be our house burning down, my cat dying, my life long best friend muffin (our dog) getting diagnosed with lung cancer, and more. But guess what? I'm healing. I'm getting through it. I'm sad but I'm definitely making my way through the thorns to reach the garden that awaits us all. And through all of it I'm most proud of my friends here healing with me. I see moots say that they are eating more even if it's unhealthy food. I see moots say they're getting up and trying to do more and trying to make it through the day, just as I am. It's so beautiful to see all of you doing your best because it inspires me to try, to stop moping about because if you guys are doing your best, I should be doing so with you. I love y'all<3

• as a bonus, some happy not so sappy stuff for the end of the year: I got a switch! I'm making art more! I have so many friends that it's honestly so overwhelming in a good way! I'm seeing my moots grow and I want to grow and improve with them! I have a ton of snacks rn! And so much more!

I'm eternally grateful for Tumblr and you all<3
