So apparently on April 13 I joined this site. It feels like it was yesterday or like a couple months ago. Not a year!? Though my activity started around the time the Newgrounds Summer Festival was happening. Since then, lots of things have happened.

On the Newgrounds side, I managed to gather almost 100 followers so far, some of them were fooled by my artistic attempts with my cringe poems and my novice pixel art or just being affiliated with more talented folks. Another thing was being involved in a collaborative project even if my contribution was small and not as significant as others, which was the ''Ruby Heart Matchmakers'' game. I wish I contributed more but I was afraid to ask for help when I was stuck and in the end of it I had been really busy with real life issues.

Regarding my real life, I am still coping with my mental health trying to solve the issues that I feel gathered throughout my life and try to practice self love and being positive, which is hard for someone who tends to be pessimistic and cynical. I already stated that I gave up on college because I felt like my place wasn't there. And a fresh update would be that I have started to work so that I can start gathering money for my personal projects and investments.

I may not be that active recently, having less time due to work, but I try to spend my time doodling or deliberately practicing drawing. Hopefully, sooner or somewhere in the near future, the fruits of my recent struggles will be seen. Until then, take care.
