Hello! Today is December 31, 2024, though it might show up like I wrote it on January 1, 2025. Thank you so much if you’ve made it this far! I started this website back in the summer, on July 19, 2024. I feel like I definitely have grown a little as an artist, and I can’t wait to grow even more!
I am, once again, so sorry that I don’t post consistently. I kept putting it off, but it only made me more stressed… so I decided to post tonight because I’m staying up until midnight and it’s only 8:12 PM and I would like something to do. You don’t need to check my website often. I don’t even need anyone to see this website or LOVE it or anything… I just want to be able to look back on my drawings from.. long ago, and go, “hah! I used to draw like THAT?” though I wouldn’t want to say something so mean about my drawings of today’s days.
Also, I have picked up a new hobby since October. I have started to make Kandi! I just filled one bin full of Kandi, and I really like making it! For those who don’t know, Kandi is a type of bracelet/necklace/jewelry made out of those plastic pony beads that you might see sometimes. But it’s not just about making bracelets and necklaces, you can make bags, masks, shirts.. heck, OUTFITS out of Kandi if you have the time and materials! I hope one day I can trade with other Kandi kids and have a HUGE collection! That would be amazing!
PLUR is also part of Kandi. PLUR stands for Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. People do hand motions for PLUR, and then they lock hands and trade Kandi with each other. Kandi is usually traded at raves. I don’t think I would be at a rave any time soon, but I still love making Kandi to wear! I also wear Kandi to school all the time, and it’s helped me a little with being confident, as I LOVE wearing Kandi and feel more confident in it!
As we say goodbye to 2024, just think back to your year, as I’m thinking back to mine. I made new friends. I fought with others, but also tried to apologize and forgive. I made some good decisions, but some bad ones too. I started a new year at school, and cried countless times, and hated myself, and loved myself, and so much more. I always knew myself as shy, quiet, awkward, and introverted… but…
I hope I never forget the time I got a whole SLED from a secret Santa exchange in one of my classes. I got to pull the sled around ALL DAY throughout the halls (with my stuff inside of it! It was better than carrying my stuff in my hands, because now, I got to pull it around behind me in a SLED!!!). It was hilarious, and at first, I was scared that everyone would be looking at me, or that I would get into someone’s way or something. But it was at that day that I realized… people actually were looking at me. People were LOOKING.. AT ME! And for once…
Maybe it wasn’t that bad. <3
P. S. I was just looking back at my website for the last time of 2024, and I noticed that some of my drawings are not loading. To be specific, the names of the drawings are: Aria, Lillian, Julie, Sarah, Daria, My Attempt at Drawing Another YouTuber’s Drawing (because it looked so cool), Random Eyes, Zara, Flower Sticker Style, and Nala.
I’m sorry if you can’t see those drawings, I’m not sure what caused it, but they will stay up there for now… I might delete them if they still don’t show up. You can see the title, but you can not see the drawing.
Happy new year! Thank you =)
