A year ago something very upsetting happened to me. Another one of life's challenges. I was a small struggling artist that would barely break any grounds or was rarely known outside my circle of friends. I have lost many people and met new ones. Now I have a dedicated fanbase here on Newgrounds and Twitter that would've not been likely a year ago. December 30th, is a day like many others, except it's one of those events that change you as a person and learn more about yourself. Although how this personal memorial ceremony began with a simple phone call that would leave a sour taste at the start of this year, I choose to look back rather as a day of growth and thinking about what's next. Many of my followers probably won't read or even care to see this post. (C'mon I know most of you want nsfw stuff lol) But it is important to note, that if that specific event never occured, none of the NSFW art or pieces I will make in the future would have ever existed. I would've remained too afraid to try anything new, and lost in obscurity. The piece I made below was mere moments after hearing the news, but It doesn't hurt anymore. I've gone through struggles this year, we all have. But I'm glad some of us powered through, while others unfortunately gave up. Let's all be better and focus on our goals next year and never repeat mistakes. Let's all charge on.
