Most of my personal blog posts consist of me complaining about things in my life. Not this one.

Ask me anything about Godzilla
I feel mentally stronger than I ever have. Coming out of bad experiences has given me strength that I never knew I had. I’m at a point where I can do what I want. Hell, I could move to a different city this year if I really wanted to. I’m in a place where I’m financially stable, and I have nothing holding me back.

WHERE IS PR2?!?!
I’ve grown closer to my family more than ever. I look forward to holidays, where I can hang out with my awesome family and laugh until there are tears in my eyes. Especially when alcohol is involved.

Oh right, STAR WARS IS BACK.
This city isn’t where I want to stay. I have a desire to live close the ocean, not for the golden sands, but for the lighthouses and clouds. I’ve grown accustomed to the CDA area, but it will never be where I want to spend the rest of my life.

Ask me how much I love John Wick
Despite having every system on the market, I’ve played fewer video games last year then every year before. This may be a factor of having a full-time job, and taking several classes, but I’ve grown to spend my time with other things. It may be premature to announce it here, but I think I want to go E3 this year. I’ve gained an incredible spark to return to writing about video games again.

P5: SOON.
I miss playing drums so much. There’s an expression there that cannot be filled with anything else. I ended up selling the electric kit in order to build my PC, and I would be lying if I said I regret that. Luckily, I have my starter kit that I bought when I was 14 and have started making repairs in order to sell it, and use that money to purchase an electronic kit that I would be able to play in an apartment environment.

Get emo with me and talk about La Dispute.
I AM GETTING A DOG THIS YEAR. I’ve accepted my love for the canine, and I want, no, I NEED a dog companion. I’ve wanted a beagle since I was very young, and I’m at the point where I’m tired of waiting. I want to train him to become a psychiatrist service dog. I truly believe that animals have the ability to aid those with mental illness. Having a dog that I can rely on no matter what is important to me.

*HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL*
I can’t express how thankful I am right now. I have worked hard to get where I am at. I have become a better person than I was last year. I’ve figured out who I am, and who I never want to be. I’m turning 24 this year, and I still feel like I have so much life to experience.

Have you watched The Raid 2? You should fix that.
Thank you.
