Wha- I almost forgot!

Wow, a GIF. Amazing.

Anyways, what! I almost forgot to write my yearly blogpost! It's already near end of January already, yeesh.

Let's talk about 2023. 

I don't know where to begin. My mind's all mixed up right now, just got home after work. Oh! Work. Yeah, I still work in the same place as I did nearly 3 years ago. 

Hold on.

(Pause)

....sorry. Had an episode while writing this, had to stop for a bit.

Continue. Ok yeah, I need to summarize last year. Ahem. I thought 2023 was pretty ok. I think in the beginning of the year I crashed the family car? Yeah I'm not sure. During that time we also planned on going to Japan! We got approved for visas and everything. The plan was to go in April wherein it would be my older sister's birthday. We'll go to Disney SEA, Universal Studios, and more! It was going to be fun. But then, one of my near-14yo dogs got really sick just a night before the trip. We had to get him confined, and told the clinic to contact us for updates. We still proceeded for the trip. On our 3rd day, while on our way to Disney SEA, I got contacted that he died. Welp, that was a day ruined early. I still tried enjoying myself, and I guess I still had a good time. But the sadness lingered.

Overall, our trip to Japan was really nice! But then as we went home, my other near-14yo dog got sick too. We had him confined like the other one, but he also ended up dying. They both died in a span of 2 weeks, for different reasons. What a month April was.

Let's fastforward things. The rest of the year was mostly work, work, and WORK. I'm gonna instead talk about different topics regarding the year.

Drawing! I think I drew a lot in 2023. But less so than 2022. Which I guess is a li'l disappointing to me. I wish to draw more for 2024.

Video games! Ok this is embarrassing but I bought Pokémon Scarlet when it was released in 2022 and up until now I still only got 2 badges. Eek. I just barely find time to play and it makes me so sad. ú_ù I want to change that too for this year.

Cartoons! Last year, one of my fave shows, The Owl House, ended. It had a pretty satisfying ending for me. Still made me a little sad though. :') Also started subbing to some streaming sites. Been watching Young Justice, Invincible, Bluey, MLP G5, Miraculous Ladybug, etc. and rewatching some old faves too. Nice nice. I hope to find more interesting stuff to watch this year!

Ok, now let's get serious this time.

Mental health. As usual, I had ups and downs. Mostly manageable bad thoughts throughout the year. Buuuut since late 2023, I am not feeling good at all most of the time. It sucks. Not that there's some big horrible thing that happened. I don't know.

This has probably a lot to do with work. I guess because of work, I can't seem to take care of myself properly. But I can't blame it all on work. It's up to me to figure out a way. I just wish I could figure it out soon, cuz until now I still feel blahh. Maybe I'll try working out or enroll in martial arts or smth healthy I guess. Hm, that sounds like a good idea. I'll think about it. I do need to lose more weight. Yeah. Alsooo, perhaps I'll get therapy. I think I REALLY need it. 

Now 2024, please be nice to me.
