what is something you're proud of yourself for accomplishing in 2019?:
I'm proud of myself for finally getting back ontop of school, setting my grades straight and properly prioritizing it rather than letting everything slip past me despite knowing I needed to get it done. I'm also proud of myself for finally cutting out old toxic friends and improving my social life drastically. Teaching yourself to not immediately back down when questioned has been hard but I've been doing my best.

what is something you want to do in 2020?:
I want to work on improving my art, getting it to somewhere I'll finally be happy with. I also want to start saving up to move out of this place, I've figured out why I need to get out, so its just a matter of getting out. Another thing is that I want to fix up my sleep schedule because staying up until 5 am just isn't working anymore. I want to try and work on how much I procrastinate on things, as well as finishing up everything I've needed to do.

what is something you want to do in 2020?:
i’m looking forward to stuff to do in 2020!! i’ve got lots of stuff to work on, and i’m hoping to find more time to do it this year. i want to work on socializing with more people and committing to things and trying to improve my chinese and physics and english for school. i also want to take more time to read and work on my drawing skills, both traditional and digital, and on that note, stop procrastinating and actually work on fixing my tablet. i want to add more variety into what i produce instead of drawing the same thing over and over again.

2019 was honestly a really long year for me. i’m proud of myself for keeping myself together and doing somewhat well through it all. last year i got involved in some not absolutely necessary activities, and even though i’m not proud of myself for forgetting to actually go to most of them for more than a week, i’m glad that i at least built up the energy to go to them once in a while. i’ve kept up my grades, which i’m proud of, even though it’s eaten up almost all of my free time. looking back, there were a whole lot of things i could have done better last year, but i still think there’s enough good to be proud of.

Something I'd like to do is just take this year easy and not stress so much like I did last year. I'd like to spend more time on things I actually enjoy like drawing more is something I'd defenetly want to do more of, even if it's just random sketches in my notebook. I also want to get to know new people in my life better, because they seem super nice and I want to spend more time with those lads! Another thing is to visit London again, which I'll be doing very soon hopefully, so I'm exited to see this as a first off the resolutions list!

what is something you're proud of yourself for accomplishing in 2019?: i got my first job this year... even if it didnt end up being permanent, it was a necessary experience, and gave me first hand knowledge of what it's like to work and how to navigate things, and what to expect... i've never had a job before so i felt it was a step in the right direction towards hopefully going off on my own hopefully some time this year, and getting another job... :"] i never thought i'd be able to get one, or handle one, but i managed to do it, and idk,,, fjdgfjgd it's not rlly impressive or anything but i doubt myself a lot so i just feel nice,,, that i did have one for awhile,,,

what is something you want to do in 2020?: i want to be kinder, more understanding, more patient... i just want to be a lot of things, but it's all pretty easy to summarize as just better as a whole... i feel like i've really slipped into a rut and fell back on bad habits and a bad mentality that have both negatively influenced and affected myself, and the people closest to me, and my negative outlook especially during the latter half of the year made me feel different, in a bad way. i didnt have any energy, worse than usual, and often lashed out or held things in, hurting myself and those around me... i want to take better care of my loved ones, and myself, this year, and to be more like how i used to be earlier this year. my old self wasnt perfect, but i feel like i was kinder and more empathetic, in the first half of 2019, and i want to go back to that... i want to think more about what i say, and think about how the way i act and what i say might affect others, and try to be a better influence and person for my loved ones... i want to try harder to be there for them more often and provide better love and care and help, and offer them more support and advice and guidance, that's also better than what i've been doing lately.

what is something you're proud of a friend for doing in 2019, or want to happen to them in 2020?: im proud of both my girlfriend and my best friend, for how hard they've been working this year! they've both done so much this year... my gf is doing so, so good at college and got kits license this year, and my best friend submitted its forms for several colleges they like (it even got a scholarship for one of them so far!) and also learned to drive this year... they're saving up and trying really hard to make their dreams and goals a reality, and im very proud of them! :"] im also proud of them for taking care of themselves, and working on being more open about things, and letting themself feel how they feel... i think it's tough to accept things like that, or not feel vulnerable when doing so, especially if the environment you grow up in isnt the best, but they've both been trying so hard and i've definitely noticed a difference because of their hard work! they've both gone through so much, especially this year, but i hope that 2020 is far kinder to them than 2019 was, and that they can achieve their goals and make their dreams come true this year ♡

what is something you want to do in 2020?: I sincerely hope in the following year that I'm able to resolve any previous conflicts I've had since most of them were because I was young, dumb and increasingly stubborn with my continuous refusal to even try and forgive anyone for what they said or did. I really hope to mature up in this following year and really take a look at if I should be mad at certain people - and this goes with both friends and enemies. I oftentimes let people slide by with what they do even if it hurts me or is completely and utterly unacceptable - an example of this is when I let my (now ex) boyfriend flirt with other people and cheat on me repeatedly and when I went to confront him, I said it was perfectly okay (it wasn't, cheating is never okay) and we continued to date on and off. In this next year, I hope to treat myself better than this, know my worth, and know that it is never okay to let myself be hurt repeatedly by the same person just because I need more people in my life. With the resolving conflict piece, I hope I am able to give everyone I've ever disliked a clean slate to start off the decade. There could be some absolutely amazing people that could change my entire life for the better that I've shrugged off just because of a silly little rumor going around or a secret crush of mine they spread around in elementary school. I just really want to forgive people and be able to love the people who actually deserve it, as well as keep myself safe and content in the process.

what is something you want to do in 2020?:

In 2020, I would love to earn myself a OMGSR pet. Whether this is through trading another pet for it or a character for it, I am determined to get one. I suppose I am really not too picky on what species it will be, I don’t mind any types of critters, but a canine or a rabbit would be lovely. In order to achieve this, I will have to begin trading for higher rarities with the few pets I currently own. It will take awhile, but I think the reward would be, well, rewarding. May everyone have a good 2020!

I actually joined Chicken Smoothie. Back in April, I took the plunge and made a account. The community is very caring and kind and there are so many things to do here. I am slowly drifting away from the pet side of CS, which is a reason why I set my goal so high, as I find more and more little communities inside the website. Kalons is a wonderful example, and I was lucky enough to join right around the time the Kalon shop was opening. Sixbane even offered to design my standard MYO for free. I now own two beautiful Kalons and have no intention to leave this website in the foreseeable future.

what is something you're proud of yourself for accomplishing in 2019?: for 2019, im really proud of the effort i've put into becoming a better artist! i know i feel 'i'll never get there' a lot and i do tend to compare my art to way better artists, or see their "10 years of art" and how their art... ten years ago... looks like my art now haha, but this year despite wanting to give up so much i've kept pushing and drawing to improve my art because i know its not an overnight type thing. its like writing - ive been writing for over ten years and my early writing is the worst stuff i've ever seen compared to now. i know i just need to keep working at it and practise and my art will get better, even if it takes time, and im really happy i came to that realisation in 2019.

what is something you want to do in 2020?: i think in 2020 i just want to get more out there. i don't really do much outside of work and writing, so i'd like to pick up a couple of hobbies that are more people-centred or just more active. volunteering as a youth leader or a scout leader maybe with the local clubs, have something to look forward to during my week other than depending on my schedule which doesn't actually exist and consists of spontaneously doing whatever i want whenever i want. i think it'd be really nice to find something to spend my free time doing that's both fun and rewarding.

what is something you're proud of a friend for doing in 2019, or want to happen to them in 2020?: 2019 was a struggle for my sister n honestly? im proud as hell of her for getting through some of the stuff she has. shes had a lot of problems with school and her studies, juggling it on top of her struggles with her identity n gender and a bunch of other nasty stuff, so seeing her learn about who she is and reaching out to friends and family for support makes me really happy for her. in 2020 i want her to graduate school with the grades she wants to get into the college course she wants and i want her to start feeling more secure in herself. she has great friends so i know she can do it, and im really excited to see the person she becomes this year!

I had tons of ups and downs, for 2019. It was a tough year but I was able to persevere! The number 1 accomplishment I was definitively proud of is drawing a lot more last year! I promised to draw more on 2019 since my 2018 drawings weren't that much and it was difficult since I didn't have my ipad anymore, which was where I used to draw. Since I drew more in 2019, I was able to notice my improvements, mistakes and my alternating art styles haha! I felt so accomplished when I was able to finally fill up my art summary for 2019 since my 2018 art summary missed one month and that made me feel down for some reason.

what is something you want to do in 2020?:

A new year is here and it's time to make a new years resolution for myself! I want to do so many things since it's also the year I'll be graduating senior high! It's exciting but also worrying due to the amount of projects and activities I still had to finish, especially the dreadful final exams so the first thing I want to do this year is to avoid giving up too easily and just go for it. I've noticed how I give up on things if it was too difficult for me so I would miss out on many opportunities and I want to avoid that. Other than that, I would also like to draw a lot more this year and to fill up my art summary again so that I'll be able to see my art progresses every month!

My friend and I had a really hard time with our senior high so we both did our best to support each other through the tough times. I've seen them work hard on their tests and show their potential during class presentations, I was really proud of them. I felt so angry whenever I hear my teachers complain how my friend was lazy or not a hard worker, all of those were lies. Even if we have different schools now, I'm still proud of how far they've come. They're now an awesome designer, she even designed her own dress and it looked so beautiful. I hope we can hang out more this year and I wish her the best of luck!

It’s sort of hard to think of much to say offhand, and I don’t really want to post much about my personal life here on CS, but I am proud of the progress I have made in art over the last year. The anatomy and rendering is definitely much better and I am becoming much faster than I was in 2018. There wasn’t always been as much time to draw, or especially to do anatomical studies, as I would have liked, but I still made a lot of progress. I think that I especially improved in lighting and on details such as fur and eyes, as well as branching off more into different styles. I hope I’ll be able to focus more this year on practicing anatomy and creating detailed finished pieces. I will trying to improve my art skills even more this year.

what is something you want to do in 2020?:

I have never made an actual list of New Year resolutions, and for most of my life I didn’t really have any tangible resolutions specifically for the new year at all. It seems that is a very common practice, but I never got into the habit of making a list myself. The fact that a large percentage of people start out thinking they will accomplish their resolutions and then never complete them was also alarming. I think that it is best to continually try to improve without needing the optimism and hope that comes with a new year. However, I would say that since a new year is essentially a fresh start, it still a good time for improvement and to start new things.

For the past couple of years I have just wanted the new year to be better than the year before it. 2019 was definitely better than 2018 and 2017 and I hope 2020 will be even better. I am planning a lot of things to do or to start doing in 2020, but I will not list all of them, which would take too long to explain.

One thing I want to do, as mentioned above, is to improve my art skills even more than last year. I also want to start to learn animation and get better at sculpting with clay.
