In 2015, I spent most of the year gaining new friends, learning new things, becoming ingrained into the Minecraft community, primarily on PC. I met a lot of amazing people, was a part of some great servers, and I've learned more about myself than I realized. It was like my life had gone a completely different direction than I had ever imagined.
Then in 2016, things went crazy. I lost some great friendships, got attacked and targeted by people who were once my friends, drifted away from my original gaming friends, and met some new friends along the way who kept me afloat, and really got me into Xbox 360 and Xbox One. By this point, I had even started getting into other games, instead of just Minecraft.
By the time 2017 came around, old friendships were amended, but now I find myself drifting away from the gaming community, and going back to doing things that took up my time before, like my arts and crafts projects, doing more things around the house, and spending more time with my extended family. I've even rejoined the old writing forum that I used to be a part of, X-Men Dark Evolutions.
I had big plans for this year. I wanted to get back into vlogging and I wanted to go at it pretty hard. I have yet to do that, but now other opportunities are presenting themselves to me. The good thing is that I'm close to meeting my goal of 2.5k subscribers on YouTube. Hopefully I'll get my artwork done soon and we can have a giveaway in celebration. I would also like to start doing livestreams again. It's so much easier to make live content than to edit. (I hate editing! LOL) I had also thought about getting a full-time job working from home. While this would cut into my gaming time - as I've said, I've been moving away from gaming. As of right now, it's probably been 2 or 3 months since I've even loaded up Minecraft!
I turned in some resumes, so while I wait to hear back, I've been working on moving my office area upstairs for work purposes. There have also been changes in the family, and I find myself getting closer to my nieces and nephew. Hopefully with the changes I'm making around the house, they'll be able to visit a lot more often! And then there's the talk that me and Adam have been having about possibly having another baby???
Even though this year has gone by really fast (I can't believe it's already a third of the way over!) there's still plenty of time for things to happen. All it takes is one second for someone's whole life to change. This year has already changed so much, just like I knew it would, but who knows what else could happen?
