Update report 31

Good afternoon, everyone. Tyrus here. This will be my last report of 2025.

Let's review what happened this year: Book 2 is finished and almost done editing! I could probably get editing done by the end of the week; that's how close I am to finishing. I also got my driver's license, got a car, and finally moved out! I've upgraded my computer, started making short videos (Even if I haven't done them in a while), and overall feel like I did a lot this year. But I'm not too satisfied. My resolution was to finish and publish the book, and looking back, you can see I wanted to get the book finished WAY earlier in the year. But, there was a lot of family stuff that happened with my Grandfather's passing (Rest in peace, Papa, I love you) and that really fucked me up this year. I don't want this to sound like a sob story or anything, but this year was...Rough, to say the least. I don't think I'm even close to publishing Book 2, and I've barely started the first chapter of Book 3. Art takes time, but sometimes it feels like it takes too long.

But, the most important thing is that I'm still here. I'm still writing and working, and I'm moderately happy. And that's okay for now. Stuff is still getting done. I firmly believe that you never truly lose in life unless you give up. Everything else is just a draw.

I can't say much after that. This year was unsatisfying, and I want to do even better next year. And I hope you all want to do better too. That's all for this report, I hope you all have happy holidays and a happy new year!
