As of right now, it's around 10 minutes to 2025. New year, new me, I can say that all I want. But I wanted to reflect a bit.

I've done a lot this year, some good some bad. I've been able to rekindle old friendships that I thought were long gone, I've been able to work around some of my greatest anxieties, and I've been able to actually follow through on a lot of my resolutions from last year! I'm proud of myself in that regard.

I don't have many resolutions this time around. Just one major one: Improve on my resolutions last year. Did I make progress in all of them? Yes, 100%. But I could make more progress in them. I could lose more weight over the course of the year, I could devote more free time to developing my skills as an artist, and I could do anything I set my mind to, and to some degree, that's exactly what I'm doing! I'll be moving out on my own within the year if things go according to plan, but that's all in due time.

I've proven to myself that I can create things to be proud of. Things that I will be proud of. And that's what I'm going to dedicate my time to as a creative in 2025. Making more things to be proud of.

Happy New Year, Newgrounds. See you all in 2025
