This Year and the Next

I’ve been rather quiet this year. Though it was much better than last, I still struggled with staying productive and remaining creative. It’s far too easy to get weighed down by the world and feel like there is little point in writing silly stories, or making art that few will ever see or hear. But, in reality it’s all the more important to create in times like these. Art connects us to being human, and that’s not something we should let atrophy in this modern age.

So while I didn’t have much to report this year, I haven’t been completely inactive either. There are exciting things coming. Many of which should have been completed long ago. And other projects are moving along at a snail’s pace, and I have no plans on giving that up.

So as we look back on 2024, and ahead at 2025, be generous to yourself. Make sure to tap into your creativity and expression, even if no one is around to witness. Let’s keep our humanity intact no matter what’s coming.
