Wow what an absolute year LOL

If anyone remembers, last year was extremely stressful. Luckily, this year was MUCH better, and I even made a lot of new friends!!

So let's begin, shall we?

When the year started, I still was doing pretty bad to be honest, the previous year bled into the next. I started doing tutoring online and I reaaallyyyy wasn't liking it, but didn't know where to go. I felt very STUCK career-wise, and it was killing my mental health.

So! I learnt about data analytics, and started doing an online course. But I still felt very very empty and yucky.

Throughout all of this, though, I rarely drew anything. My creative side dwindled, I felt more and more like a blob. Not a SAD blob, but a very drained blob. This kept going for months, so I don't really have anything to say for this time. It was all a blur LOL

After a while though, I found a light in the tunnel

This chicken. Also I went to a neuropsychologist, and I found out I have ASD and I don't even have ADHD. I was absolutely blindsided by the latter!! But slowly after getting this information, I processed everything, and things fell back into place. Balance was restored, I no longer feel like a blob for overexerting myself from stuff I didn't know about, I started occupational therapy. I feel like me again! Just me with new knowledge about myself

Around the same time this was happening, I started learning python because of data analytics and fell in love. I would've never imagined myself liking programming so much! I kept going and going, and made my first teeny project. A shitty quiz!! And kept going more and more

I also got dermatitis on my eyes, that sucked. I finally got steroid cream like 3 days ago, pretty epic

Anyway!!

After this period of immense growth, feeling like myself again, things naturally fell back into place and I started getting urges to draw again. More and more than the two previous years. I stopped using games so much to cope (tho I needed it!!)

But during this entire time, I made friends who helped me up when I really needed it. I don't think I would've gotten to this point of good mental health if I didn't

SO!!!

Thank you to ALL my friends, the ones who were there during my most difficult times. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate you sososo much. For being there for me, for listening to me, for being the support I very desperately needed.

Thank you

And thank you ESPECIALLY to @matthewlopz for being there for me, being patient during my most difficult times, and being there for me these past 2 years.

(that isn't makeup my cheeks are red as shit rn and idk why, hi newgrounders!!!!!)

And that sums up my year!!

Here's to a new year, hopefully with new opportunities and a more stable future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
