To say 2024 was not my years is an understatement.
I think it was just Not The Year For Everybody™.
There was so much that has happened and it made me open my eyes to how blind I was to the ones I had thought were my friends when in reality... I was just a tool to them. A means to an end. The ones who couldn't handle my at me worst had abandoned me while most others only saw the visage another had painted me as without really bothering to see both sides of the whole ordeal.
At the same time, I reconnected with old friend groups who welcomed me back with open arms, along with two friends that I never thought I'd come across again in my entire life. I also have friends who have stuck by me through the whirlwind of events that unfolded as the year went on, they helped me stay grounded throughout the whole thing from start to end. I feel like I wouldn't be here without them (pointing at you Mediumkey!).
I've also gone and abandoned Twitter after seeing the kind of landscape it was shaping itself out to be, and hitched the ride on the wings of Bluesky. I've also joined Sheezyart, an old Deviantart-like website but better revived and Cara, a Twitter-Instagram styled hybrid art website. On top of that on December 28th, the tailend of 2024, I decided to pursue my childhood dream and make my own website, using Nekoweb instead of Neocities (though I may make an account on Neocities in the future simply to build the layout of the website).
While everything was a slow decline and took a sharp dive in the middle, it slowly went back up at the end. However cuz of everything that happened, I don't have high hopes for 2025, in fact I have no hope of the next year being better at all. My only wish for it is to be far more tolerable than 2024 ever was.
Here's to 2025 I guess.
