Sit your butts down it's personal journal time and I have a whole lot to say about 2014 and 2015.

I have this feeling that 2015 is going to be an incredible year. An incredibly challenging year, but THE year where I turn my life in the direction I've been looking for since I was little. I'm a little scared cause I honestly don't know where I'm going to be after my 2nd semester at MSU. At this point I'm not allowed to move into my grandparents anymore. I'm also not sure if I want to continue going to MSU if I want to go in a better direction with my art career and possibly an animation degree. I know this may have to include moving out of my hometown.. and that kind of terrifies me. But I have people to support me and help me along the way. my best buddy Austin wants to go to an art school out of state and my boyfriend Pip is on his way to starting a new life as well, so surely I won't be alone.

This year, I'm gonna get a driver's licence. I'm gonna get a car. I'm gonna move out of my parents. I'm gonna get a job over the summer and/or work my hardest on being able to accept and deal with nearly any commission life throws at me.

This will be MY year. And I hope that 2015 will be your year too, friends.

OH and I should probably say something about 2014 as well. Good lord, 2014. You really showed me what you got.

• I left an incredibly damaging relationship (of THREE YEARS) and then landed myself in another long distance relationship that turned into something just... incredible. I resisted and kept trying to avoid falling into it because I never thought I'd have a partner here in person, ESPECIALLY one I met online through art and furry shenanigans. I am so happy with him and I can't even explain it properly. Thank you, Pip. I love you.

• I graduated high school! As much as I hate to admit it, I wouldn't be where I'm at without suffering through those crazy four years. It helped me discover myself through both hurtful people and caring friends. At times throughout those years, I really didn't think I could make it. My hearing disorder was a struggle every single day and I had no idea life could be better outside of that environment. As I pass by BHS, though, I can't help but give it an imaginary middle finger in my head.

• I started college. At the beginning of the semester, I was the happiest I've ever been. To be honest though, I'm not sure how I feel about MSU right now. I'll see how my second semester goes and who knows where I'll be after that.

• Becoming an "adult" and finding the conflict that comes with it. Lots of challenging moments between some of my family members and I.

• And finally... a REALLY great summer with my best friends in the world. Who cares if I got appendicitis? Sure, I had my first surgery, and that kind of screwed up a lot of my plans for the summer... but that left me room to have a great time with my bros. Thank you guys for showing me the time of my life. And yes. Jamming to Skrillex in the car, throwing up at the fair, spending too much money on Magic the Gathering, and other crazy things were all considered the time of my life.

Thank you, everyone.
(and thanks to the people that actually read through this long journal)
