With only a few hours left of 2018, I am still wondering if I should call it a good or a bad year. I feel that even though some really sucky stuff happened, I still made progress! But how to track if it was worth it or not?
My biggest milestone for 2018 was finding a genuine reason to not look down at myself, and that I archived! It has been a year of healing and self discovery indeed, packed with amazing realizations of me and my surroundings alongside some not so cool ones. I cut ties with people that harmed me, and got closer to amazing peeps, some old friends, some new faces! And for the first time in a long time, I am so glad with the people that surround me.
It is true than, on the other than that, I got lazy regarding drawing and personal projects, though... Because of spending so much time working to feel better around myself I neglected my biggest and healthiest coping mechanism that was painting. Even though tabling in cons went okay and got out of my comfort zone attending two international cons, I did not make much new merch nor worked in all I wanted to work in. But I still archived a couple very amazing things, like working alongside some very amazing artists in the One-Shot Jam (my first 8-page comic for a fanzine!), which I turned a bit late but it was such a pleasurable experience.
I also finally got to learn sign language, and I am looking forward to keep learning this next february! I am really considering going to uni so I can study sign language interpretation, but I am still not that sure about it, maybe by 2020 I will have a solid idea on what to do, even if I never pursue it professionally, I will definitely keep on learning!
But if something has been truly amazing about this year, that has to be definitely the company and those around me. It's just amazing to meet people that appreciate you and see worth where you once only saw failure, and being surrounded by all those friends really taught me to finally see the worth in me. From my con tabling friends, to my fellow moderators and members of Splat-Squadron, to my (not-blood related) family in Zaragoza and the friends that spend time with me. If any of you are reading this, thank you for this year! I hope we can have plenty of quality time on 2019 as well, your trust in me means a lot more than you think and I am so grateful to have you in my life.
To wrap it up before the guests start coming, this has been a slow year, full of bonding and healing, and although this last weeks were a bit more on the bitter side, I feel like it was a pretty good one.
I do have some new year resolutions! Which are:
- Eat better and healthier. Cook more and be more careful not to eat too many trashy foods.
- Try to draw more in general!! I lost the habit and I need to get it back, SPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO DRAWING FULL SCENARIOS WITH BACKGROUNDS!!!
- Launch an online store and be active on instagram, I really have to promote myself more-
- Work on new merch! Charms are a priority, but I really wanna go out of the confort zone and make more standees, pins and pouches.
- Take more care of myself and keep working on my self esteem. I got to relearn a lot of stuff after those years of recovery and I wanna grab the reins of my life again!
- Find a job. Even if it's shitty and only temporal, I've been sheltering myself too much and wanna get out of the confort zone.
- Spend more quality time with my family. I've been neglecting them a lot and I really need to change that.
- Maybe a bit too ambitious, but by next september, having a plan on what to do with my studies.
And that is good enough for starters! Maybe also don't stress too much if I see I won't archieve most of the goals...
For some last words now... I hope your year was also overly positive and that you are satisfied with what you archieved! It it wasn't good, have hope that bad luck doesn't last forever and grab onto any good thing that happened. Take care of yourself and tackle on the new year with good vibes. I promise it gets better!
Thank you for reading c:
