But other than that, it was okay! I had an awesome garden, and my kids are sweet. Also, I finished my book series!!! This is something not even Robert Jordan or George R.R. Martin have done, haha. Now, to get it out of the first draft stage and make it coherent...
2025 is going to be awesome! We are going to grow more cucumbers! This means PICKLING, YEAH!!!! Also, so much editing! It's going up be great!

2024 was a big year for me! i got married and moved into my first house. went to a couple of concerts and had fun vacations. i also started going to therapy and i’ve learned a lot about myself. i’ve rekindled the relationship between my parents, which has been incredibly healing. overall, this year has given me so many special and memorable things.
to be honest, i’m terrified to enter 2025. as a gay man in america, i cannot fathom what this next year will truly have in store for me. as anxious as i am for a future in which i have very little control over, i’m telling myself to find control in the aspects of life that i have say in, and i’m reminding myself to lead with kindness, courage, and optimism.
It was… a both long and short year with a lot of drama for me. Just a 365 days long rollercoaster. From writing persperctive, it was amazing, from scout perspective it was not and from podcaster’s point of view in haven’t really started yet. I’m looking for more time with my friends, writing and generally stuff I like to do.

2024 was a year where I think that I’ve started to get new ideas for my story as well as learn more things about myself. I think that as I grow things start to become a lot calmer and what I want for 2025 is to learn more things so I can be more detailed in my stories and perhaps find more things about myself that may be hidden.
I’m looking forward to the new year!

I was once known as Vampricone6783…but now, I hath changed into what I represent best.
2024 was the worst. Nursing school made sure of that! And afterwards getting unceremoniously shoved out into the working world didn't make things any better. But let's talk about the positives! I fought through the last two trimesters of nursing school I learned to tough out the most challenging of situations I graduated nursing school August 21 as class historian I became a licensed nurse September 21 I got my first job and kickstarted my career October 29 I became a favorite nurse among several people I care for I survived every challenge that came my way during the year and am still living today because of it
In 2025 I look forward to things hopefully slowing down a bit so I can take things at my own pace. I anticipate getting back into writing and maybe even taking the initiative to leave home for the first time. Whatever may come, it will not take much for 2025 to be a better year than 2024, and I'm excited to see what the new year brings!
2024 started off rough, but once I found my people and got the hang of things, it was pretty great! I started high school this year and have made some of my best friends for life (plus an amazing girlfriend--I love you @avimoon ). Hoping that 2025 will be even better now that I've got the hang of high school! Currently crossing my fingers I'll get good grades and a nice volunteer position in the summer.
Writing wise, 2024 has been pretty productive and mostly fun. I say mostly because sometimes it makes me want to tear my hair out, but I’m still happier than I was before getting back into writing. I’m looking forward to hopefully finally finishing one longer project in 2025, and I have a couple shorter projects in progress (and there will inevitably be more where that came from).
Personally, things have been up and down. Work is okay, and I don’t do much aside from work and writing. I still struggle with ADHD/executive function doing any personal tasks. I had a “come to Jesus” moment with regards to my weight/fitness over the summer, so I’ve lost 40 pounds since August. I hope to continue this in 2025, because being healthier is key to doing almost anything else I want to do (eg travel, go out and be social, etc).

2024 started out rough for me in ways of my personal life, but it was a burst of creativity writing-wise. Starting around the beginning of summer, my personal life started to get better, and it fluctuated wonkily through ups and downs during summer. Then, school started, and it was incredible. I started high school, made friends, tried theatre, and met @theromanticchemist (light of my world, I love you so much). School clawed away most of my writing time, but I joined yws (@theromanticchemist again lol) and fixed that. I wrote many, many poems through times of both turmoil and jubilation all throughout autumn and started co-writing a short story with @oc3an! This winter, I started a few other short story projects, and I am incredibly proud of the outlining and organizing I have begun to do with my writing. For 2025, I am more than a bit worried about school and personal life, but I am looking forward to writing and spending more time with my friends and girlfriend, and wish everyone a happy holiday season. Happy Holidays and Almost New Year, everybody!!!
