So, the end of the year has finally come. What all has happened?
Bad:
- Lost a very dear and close friend (Rest in Peace, Wessy)
- Dealt with a lot of stress-related issues and headaches, far more than I can count
- Multiple hospital visits that ultimately ended with nothing being done, despite discovering there actually IS a problem
Good:
- On Our Own is progressing fairly nicely, despite a few hiccups I've had along the way
- Started Arturos Academy of Awakening, which seems to be getting positive feedback thusfar
- I've managed to keep my Let's Play vids coming at a consistent pace
- My weight has stayed mostly consistent, aside from around holidays
So yeah, 2019 has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. I'm hoping that 2020 will be better. I've made my resolutions for the coming year as well. These include:
- Doing the chapter edit work for On Our Own myself. With the fact I've begun doing it myself with Arturos Academy, and I'm feeling pretty confident with it, there is little reason to keep asking Dipper to do it. By doing it myself, it lessens the stress on him. Obviously, he'll still be doing the voices and song cleanup for me (since I don't have the song editing software) but I intend to stop relying on him for the majority of the work.
- Keep making content for my YouTube channel. This one's not really that hard to do, seeing as I've been taking advantage of having vids sceduled ahead of time, but I want to make sure my viewers always have something new to look forward to.
- Continue to maintain my weight. Again, another somewhat easy one, but with my weight being where I want it to be, I want to try to keep it there. That gets hard sometimes, as temptation seems to hit more often than I'd like, but I want to keep proving I'm stronger than the temptations I see.
- Work more on my visual novel project I started. I put Visual Stimulation on the back burner for most of the year because I couldn't decide how to best move forward with it. One of the things I want to do is get that going again, because, while I may not be able to get decent art for it right now, I think my idea for it is something people would enjoy, so I want to try and get more of it written.
Aside from my resolutions, there's one major change for me that is coming in 2020. In April, I will be moving from Lansing, Michigan to a place called Lilliwaup, Washington. I'll be moving in with someone that used to live with me here in Lansing. The reason for the move is largely because rent here has gotten FAR too expensive, and, when I move, my rent expenses are going to be cut down by nearly half, which means I'll be able to start saving money to be able to do the things I like. This should also, hopefully, eliminate two of my major stress factors.
That's it for my rambling for now. Mahalo to everyone who took the time to read my journal. I hope everyone has a great New Year, and here's hoping 2020 treats everyone well.
