Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
🕑 Added 2024-12-31 18:30:39 +0000 UTCStarting off this update by wishing you all Happy Holidays, and that the Holiday season was kind to you this year! I also want to wish you all a Happy New Year and sort of talk a bit about how I've been, because I know that I'm still having trouble getting audios out.
This year has been a big rollercoaster, and to be perfectly honest in a lot of ways it's been one of the worst I've had in quite a long time, but as in all things bad, there were moments of extreme joy and happiness. This past month has been exceptionally challenging to me when it comes to outside stress and IRL problems, and it's only until about a few days ago that things have started to truly feel like they're turning around. I have hope that in the New Year things will turn out better for me.
So as to not re-hash a lot of the things that have been going on and the mental difficulties and extreme burnout I've been working through this year, I just want to actually thank all of you for another year of me being able to do this, even though my output has been sorely lacking. I'm doing my best to keep going, and remembering that yes, people enjoy the things that I make, but they also care about and enjoy me--and I want to do my best to start engaging in the community again. I dropped off for a while due to stress and genuinely feeling like I didn't know how to talk to people anymore without feeling like it's "useless". I want to be a participant in my own life again and create and engage in a community that I care about and that I appreciate deeply.
I want to continue creating, because I truly do love making audios and acting and playing games and just putting my creativity into the world. The fact that there are so many who have said that the things I've created have helped them through tough times reminds me of the art I consume and enjoy, and how there are creators who provide that for me as well, and how much of an honor it is to hear that something you made helped someone.
After this year it feels a little bit like I'm learning how to be a human again. I thank everyone who has been along the journey, whether you're a veteran or a newbie, you've kept me going when there were times I wondered if I should just quit. All of your kindness and support means the world to me, and this coming year I want to be able to find that work-life balance and make the changes and decisions that need to be made so that I can continue to do this for as long as I can.
As weird as it sounds, my resolution for 2025 is to remember how to be a person again--and not just any person, but myself, and I can only wish that everyone can find that for themselves as well. I wish you all a Happy New Year, and thank you once again for all your support, however it may be. <3
