It's the dawn of a new year and new decade and to sum up this decade in one word as a whole, in general it would be TRIGGERED.

Everyone just seemed so pissy in the early 2010s which culminated in the birth of sjws, more social websites becoming more prominent leading to more opinions being spread and people just not knowing how to react to them thus leading to people getting salty, angery and downright *TOXIC*, it didn't help that so many beloved actors and personalities died this decade just over all dampening the mood and that's not even touching the political aspect of things which personally, if you're not a politician or smart enough to talk politics you shouldn't talk politics and for real I'm neither, sure I've done the occasional mock cartoon at the (former) president but who hasn't? Plus they were more reactionary rather than consistent. The 2010s also brought us the MeToo movement which has shaken media and entertainment as a whole and has kind of shattered our preconceived notions that the people we love to follow are actually horrible human beings who should be castrated and left in solitary confinement until they claw their eyes out of sheer boredom (although Louis C.K is the least offensive case in my humble opinion and I hope he makes a decent comeback). So yeah I kind of get why people were so angery and jaded this decade, it's a lot happening all at once and too fast to handle and that's not EVEN mentioning the tragedies we have all seen transpire throughout the years.

But there was a lot of good that happened this decade, gay marriage is legal............................. and that's it.
Joking but yeah it wasn't all bad but my thoughts on the decade and how it treated me I would sum it up differently, to sum up this decade on a personal level and in one word it would be REGRET.

I seriously regret not doing more this decade and the more I think about it I blame my father for it, the big things that happened to me this decade were graduating high school, getting my first job, getting my first steady job, dad and step mom splitting up, losing the most beloved pet I have ever had but later getting another pet that I love a lot (they're both tuxedo cats at that) and being more prevalent online with these art websites. It's not much honestly and my biggest regrets is not getting out there more and not taking my art more seriously, there were so many people in high school who actually gave a shit about what they were making and improving their craft meanwhile I'm doodling shitty nonsense in sketchbooks and not improving or trying new things in the slightest which is biting me in the ass now because I actually want to make a living off my art, I know I'm not gonna be sakimichan levels of whoring out but if someone like Rossdraws can draw as average as they can then I can at least match that. Part of that success is just being the most boring, inoffensive person that makes trite dribble for the masses and it seems like to be controversial and edgy AND successful is to also be funny which my humor is dry as fuck, humidifiers can't fix how dry my material is so I guess I'm fucked and I'm also someone who advocates for suicide and I know the moment someone hits me with a "Y'know I was feeling pretty down until I found your stuff" comment I'm just gonna be like "you were better off killing yourself than watching me" and that's just the kind of shit I think because I also believe in suicide as an absolute solution if life truly isn't worth living and MAYBE I SHOULDN'T. Maybe I shouldn't think that because again not thinking that dumb shit would probably make me a better artist I don't say this often and it may come off as pretentious but I am a complex individual full of depression, trust issues, an inferiority complex with maybe a dash of PTSD and autism??? Never been tested for either but I don't like the sound of babies crying, it puts me in a bad place.

You could say it... TRIGGERS ME!!!

I'm ranting too much now, I don't mean to get anyone down or have them feel sorry for me or whatever, the reason I don't own a gun is because I'll be the only person I shoot at but only time will tell and time only moves forward.
