.Life Update Feb 2025

Hi I haven't updated in a year since I got busy around October 2023 onwards. Life had tons of ups and downs and currently I'm in a somewhat better place for now. Around February, I have gotten a pink 5th gen i7 HP laptop hand me down from my cousin before she moved back to California. It greatly opend new opportunities for my skill and ever since I moved out the town around March 2023, I got a job in the big ol City in July 2023. It didn't go what I hoped it would be and got a wake-up call on what mattered to me the most. My Family in need.


It was quite a culture shock for me as people said, living in the city, time moves fast, but for me it was the opposite with my new job. Time only moved fast when I'm not working on my job but on my personal projects. The moment I clock out at work, 10-30mins pass by real fast.


With the severe lack of resources living in the city, I had to strictly budget for transport, meal, and mobile data. I was not allowed to use company wifi so I had to calculate how much data to preserve and had to upload strategically but I mostly ended up doing analog journals most of my free time. A diary of how heavy my experiences were can probably be converted as a content. Sketch doodles can probably be uploaded as well but they're not really that great but we shall see...


I only survived for 8 months, the pay wasn't good enough and could not stand the work culture and how my work ethic was gaslit into countless violations. My family needed me to be present back in the home town so I could manage a new family business and help out around the house. I was only able to invest in lights and was not able to buy atleast a barebones Mini PC. I was 2 months away with almost able to buy it and have money to move to a different part of the Capital City. But I took a leap of faith and trust everything to God when I moved back to the the old town with only enough to live off for about a month or two with the uncertainty of what will happen in the future and no other safety nets.


Gladly I survived the year but I am still struggling to make ends meet and lately I am now in debt trying to survive and pay rent and insanely high electric bills. I think its starting to take a tall on my hairline at the age of 25 lol.


Anyways moving forward I will try and upload and animate really quick shorts to the social media platforms. Contents in Ko-Fi will have exclusive contents & ideas and will have early access to video uploads. Monthly Members will have influence on what the content will be based upon if they align with the values and content pillar.


I will try and follow up a content pillar and other behind the scenes as much as I can on Kofi. In the meantime, X & Newgrounds will have an earlier release dates compared to TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
