2019 so far...

...is going ok for me. Hecka fast at that.
I like to make this thread every 6 months or so to sorta help others and myself to think about this year so far (Good and not so good) and how we can change before it ends.

For me I'm...

-Thankful to keep income coming and trying to stay out of trouble
-Also getting slightly better at drawing (Not perfect tho).
-Starting to take paid commissions and requests
-Considering finally getting a drivers license.

on the flip side...

-Dealing with a personal habit I need to break.
-Fighting with my forgetfulness.
-Struggling to improve in terms of hygiene.

though on the grayness, I've been trying to talk to people more. It works but then it doesnt. Can't say if its good or not tood. But it could always be worse.

How's your 2019 so far?
For me, the same as any other year.

-Goof off with my friends.
-Play video games.
-Keep my significant other happy.

The only notable difference coming this year is my sister getting married and maybe moving to a new house, but that's it really.

-----------

STELLA!
I'm about as happy as I could be.

-Finished high school with some of the best meme classes and friends
-I got into my dream college. (I mentioned smw as an activity on the application, hehe)
-got some new outdoorsy hobbies so that I don't stay home all day. They're kind of tiring, but that's nice since it helps with my sleep schedule.
-I have some free time now and can be more active with SMW hacking.

My one goal is to find a suitable job over the summer, preferably one where I could learn how to talk to strangers without being awkward. Anyhow, I'm quite excited for the rest of 2019!
I'm worried and a bit stressed, but it's mostly been fine.

Accomplishments these past 6 months:
- Starting and finishing the 2nd semester of college. I also feel a lot more connected with the class. Slowly getting to know the people there.
- Got a new job (internship), this time it actually has to do with programming.
- SnesLab wiki is a thing now.
- Being social and stuff (kind of).

Disappointments:
- College grades have fallen a bit. Getting a bit too close to not passing on some of these classes, unfortunately.
- I've mostly fallen out of touch with everyone from my former schools, even the people who I wanted to keep in contact with.
- I wanted to take the time to learn ASM and more C so that I could either create or help with some SMW tools. Unfortunately I didn't make any progress towards that...
- I've been trying to be active on too many internet places at once and it's not working out well now that I have both college and work to worry about.
- We moved to a new house. I hate moving and I hate the new house. I also hate the neighborhood. I can rant about this for paragraphs.
- AnXiEtY iS sTiLl LoTs Of FuN (but it's been getting better)

On the to-do list for the next six months:
- Do more The Cutting Room Floor stuff
- Learn SNES ASM and more C and C++
- Continue learning PHP and nodejs
- Improve my college grades
- Move to a new place
- Save up money
- Write more

On the "if I have free time, which I most likely won't" list:
- Learn how to edit videos more professionally.
- Learn how to music.

I create random songs in my head every once in a while but I have no idea how to transform the sound I hear/imagine into the notes and numbers on the screen.

Does posting on smwcentral count as writing more? Or, is this perhaps oriented toward creative writing or academic papers?
This year has been rather overwhelming to say the least. College has gotten me to do things I'm not used to doing at all, and there were a few nights that had me staying up due to unfinished homework. At least my grades ended up way better than I expected them to be.

I haven't been noticing any issues or disappointments that have popped up for me, other than stress and unusual sudden tiredness. Although, it's been the same ol' story with my job, and with stuff I do IRL. Can't really say it's exciting. It's pretty much why I just chill on the internet a lot where I feel like I've been more socially active than ever. I've noticed I've been chatting a lot here and there. This used to be a struggle of mine. I'm still admittedly shy, but I've felt as if I managed to get around this by finding others with similar interests. I've been making efforts to find things to Tweet while I can as well.

I think i'm doing fine this year. I mean, i've made new friends, some friends had some particular interests before which I did not know of before, and I feel considerably more free in expressing myself the right way. There's a lot to be happy about.

BUT not eveything is sunshine and roses. I still feel lonely and underappreciated reasons unknown, for example. It's somehow hard to let that mindset go.

And of course, even though I don't express it on the outside, my cat's death is so outlandish that I can only make jokes about it. Is that a coping mechanism? I dunno,

Well, it's been OK. Aside from the occasional disappointment (such as my phone breaking, or finding out my crush has a boyfriend whom she's never even met in person), it's fine. I've mostly been playing Minecraft and using this site, and not a whole lot else. A lot of good things have also happened, like Mario Maker 2 getting announced, me finally getting my hands on Terraria, making a new friend and realizing that my other friends were jerks.

2020 so far...
While it is almost over, 2019 for me has been kinda meh. Me and my girlfriend don't get along like we used to. I've run into constant financial problems in my life and even got laid off of the job I had for over a year.

I just hope 2020 gets better.
2019 was like 2018, but worse.

Except for a few things, but nobody wants to hear them.
Hello.
2019 was an decent good year for me. Here are the pros and cons
for me in 2019
Pros:
*Hitting 100 Subs on my Youtube Channel I never felt so amazed in my life*

*Getting Super Mario Maker 2 and making some great polished levels that got great reviews and better than my Mario Maker 1 Levels*

*Being apart of SMW central's contests such as VLDC 11, BLDC, 2019 HLDC sure I did got a bit negative reviews on my levels but that doesn't stop me from enjoying being a part of a contest.*

*Bought some great Indie games on Steam such as VVVVVV, Celeste, and Spark the Electric Jester.*

Now for the Cons:

*Making that awful VLDC 11 Level called: "Vanilla Plains" I don't know why did I rushed that level but I couldn't have a lot more time on that level to make it better*

*Getting Asthma and Sinus during January to March 2019 that was also and awful time in 2019 for me*

*Got in a drama fight with one of my friends and I really regret that*

*I also regret working on some crappy Smw hacks that had Bland
level design awful gimmicks and more thank god I cancelled on working on them*

And well that does it. 2019 was a Mixbag for me There were some ups and downs but overall it was decent. Hopefully in 2020 It will be better for me.
2019's been quite cool for me. It was a year of good changes, mostly: I've finished high school, did a great exam, started going to university and as a result I got some new friends and started to be more social.
I've also partecipated in VLDC11 and got really high, so I guess there's that too.
I hope next year will be more of the same.
2019 for me was a year of change for me, and most of all, of learning.

I suppose stopping existing here is a major change, although it doesn't feel much like one. Feel like that happened too gradually and it didn't start this year.

An abusive relationship ended, I met a handful of new people and now I have someone actually nice who doesn't treat me like shit. After one and a half years in the process of acceptance, my mom's good with it enough to have had my boyfriend here at home for lunch for the first time just yesterday. I'm doing research in uni, which eats my sanity sometimes but is pretty cool. I'm getting paid, which has been granting me a sparkle of monetary independence. I decided a psychologist can do wonders for my health after realising that I have a few internal issues I need to take care of. Growing, growing as a person every day. And I 1cc'd a couple Touhous.

Hey. I'm in a pretty sweet spot right now in life. Not perfect, but I cannot complain as I have a lot of good perspective. So I am pretty glad for 2019.
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
2019 was the year for me in both ways. It was a year of many changes and learnings. I ran through a couple headaches of which I should sort out soon, but they stemmed more from my family and did wonders to my mental health.
The most notable ones include the passing of my uncle in January and of my godmother in November, days before my birthday. I was especially devastated by the latter since she was like a mom for me regardless of her limitations as a result of diabetes.

University ate a lot of my free time but I finally finished it and I'll graduate in 2020. I've experienced some internships, including one from a place I've teached before.

I still haven't gotten my first paid job, but who knows I'll get the spot next year.



I also finished the first chapter of Deltarune. Here's to the next, whenever it is.

It was pretty much meh for me. It passed too quickly for me. I didn't do too much and my laziness contributed to my attitude much. I didn't always have enough time, either.



I didn't present anything on both C3s in 2019 even though I planned to. I wasn't motivated enough to make anything for OWDC, HLDC or ExGFX. I wanted to finish my level for BLDC, but I didn't make it before the deadline. I should've started making it earlier. I also intended to work eagerly on my SMW hack, but I didn't make much progress.

However, I did well last VLDC and I got a trophy in it. I didn't do really bad in Summer Solstice VGM Guessing Contest, either. I placed 12th which was a good result for one who doesn't have a broad knowledge of VGM. The contest was hella hard. I also won two trophies in Mosts which is one more than in 2018. I mainly won one of them for being a literal idiot. I didn't expect to win anything judging by how many people had voted me.



Despite being concerned about my Biology grades, I did pretty well the previous school year. Now that I don't have this subject, my main concern is Physics. I'll need to study really hard to do well. A couple times, I was worried as if one bad grade would change my future for the worst. I'm still sure the educational system in my country is bad and you don't learn much useful in your life.



The ruling party in my country won the last elections for the second time in a row and I was disappointed. The national television spreads propaganda and a lot of people believe they live well. I'm already worried because some things have gotten worse, like maybe medicine, education, or environmental care. They don't respect the Constitution, either. Prices of most things get higher and higher and I'm afraid social programs will contribute to the price growth more and Poland will be the second Venezuela. Some of these problems may get into my live, too! I and my children have to pay for the mistakes of the current ruling party and I can't believe anyone who lives here wants such irresponsible politicians to rule! I think a good solution would be choosing a new president.
I have a Discord server as well! (by joining, you agree to the rules)

Basically, I believe in peace and bashing two bricks together.

Well I haven't been active here for a while and 2019 was a not so good year.
I have a lot of problems that have often led to major depressions and I was often close to doing bad things. On top of that I have to move out and a new apartment has been found but it is a big disaster.
A lot of the apartment is broken, but I'm happy to have a roof over my head.
I have recently found a therapy place and I still have a little hope that the new year will be better.

I wish you all and your families a happy new year #w{<3}
