2024 In Retrospect

I must admit, I'm not one to discuss my personal life online very often. But I wanted to add this memoirs section because I think I need some place to do so and my physical journals all end up filled with random notes, poems, and silliness. Throughout it all, 2024 has been a phenomenal year for me.

I got to grow closer to many friends, some long time and some not. I wound up growing close to and finding my true love and soulmate, something that I had long conceded was likely out of my reach. The latter part still has me silently giddy as I blush, waiting for a message or response from them. I even finally rekindled my love for programming again, thanks to OCaml and functional programming in general.

I do still yearn for a more normal routine making music, but such things are just difficult to me. When you spent most of your time making music as an expression of depression, or hate, or anger, it's hard to continue the habit when those feelings appear more and more distant. But I hope one of these years I'll build a good routine around it, I certainly love using my little GMIDI sound modules when I do.

All that said, I'm both excited and terrified for what next year will bring. But this year was good, very good in fact. And if there was ever a time for me to fight for a better future with those I love, it's now.

Happy 2024 everyone, and stay safe.
