Well, here we are at the end of 2023. And as a year in review, I'd say "Yeah, it was just okay." I went through a lot this year, a lot of personal highs and personal lows, and some pains I'd rather not talk about. I can't and won't talk about them in depth here.

That being said, I'm still here. The most I can do is go forward and hope for the best. Do your best, be kind and compassionate, and learn from others. And keep your mouth shut when you don't have anything important to say.

That lesson shoulda been learned sooner, but hey.

2024 may be a bigger year than 2023. Especially for my art. My mentality about it has changed, but not in the way that I thought it would. It's honestly sort of liberating.

To those that follow me here, you might not see me posting too often, but I'll be around.

Happy new year, everyone. I'm gonna make the next one count as much as I can.
