Paint Drying 2016

Hello there
 
Welp, it’s a new year all over again. So many things happen in such a short span of time, it’s kind of crazy to think about. When it comes to LB, I’ve been growing happier with where I’m at with it. I’m content now to just log things where I don’t have much to say about a film, and I feel my prose, and review quality in general, has been growing better. Plus, I’ve been growing closer to a lot of y’all, which I’m happy about. This place has been really special for me, and it’s because of a lot of y’all, so thank y’all.
 
When it comes to the year overall though, 2024 has been the worst year of my life, no question. This mainly comes due to personal life struggles. 2024 has been a rough year for me emotionally. Really it goes back to late March of 2024, when something happened to me I never thought would happen. From there, whether it be from betrayed trust to just general emotional unwellness, I have been in a rough patch this past year. It all has weighed a lot on me, and y’all have probably seen it bleed over to my writing and activity on here. I feel I may be finally getting better, and I pray it so. I just need it to get better, I’m really not sure how much more I can handle.

There have been a few good things though. For starters, I tried out for the school musical this year (we’re doing Oklahoma!), and I actually got a pretty big role for someone doing it their first time! School wise, I’ve been excelling in all my classes (AP classes too), but not only that, out of everybody in my school, I was the only person to make a perfect score on the PSAT (for non-Americans, it’s a super big test that only take once) and a 35 on my ACT (also a big test). So while everything seems to be burning, I’ve at least been doing well in that area
 
Anyway, for right now, I’m in just kind of a trance-like, drifty spot. I’m right now more just trying to figure out where to go from where I’m at, what God is trying to tell me, and what He wants from me. At the very least, I’m just praying 2025 is a better year for me and all of y’all. I hope to improve as a writer, watch more unique and diverse films, and just generally grow as a person. Whatever will happen, I do not know. But I’m going to try my best and see what happens
 
Happy Near Year everybody
