I went to one of my favorite childhood parks today! It’s called Chantilly Park! I used to go there all the time when I lived in Chantilly Charlotte with my mom and sister when I was in middle school. One of my most favorite memories of being in middle school was finding out about the computer lab and getting introduced to the idea of the Internet for the first time in the early 2010’s. Probably around 2013 or 2014 if I were to guess. I was absolutely fascinated at the idea that I could get on this machine with the screen and look up information and websites about practically anything. I remember all of these different websites like CoolMathGames.com, which had a bunch of cool, Flash based puzzle and physics games there was also a website that I remember one of our teachers telling us about where you could play around with a bunch of sand physics as well as finding a bunch of different cool screensavers on other people‘s computers. Like a bowl of light that would change colors and leave little colorful trails behind it with a black background.If you know you know! Also, if anyone knows the name of it, please let me know. I’ve been dying to remember the name of that screensaver because it just looks so cool.Thankfully, because it was the school computer lab we were safe from anything adult. Not to mention, we also had a bunch of websites that were made with kids in mind which is sadly more than I could say for the kind of social media younger kids have today. Anyway. One of my favorite things to do on the weekends was to go to that park!

I used to play on the playgrounds there all the time, and I remember thinking that the tan, rocks dirt paths were super cool!

here are some photos.

I took all of these photos after passing the area with the playgrounds and yes, there are two of them that are still around over 10 years later. When I was young there used to be two tiny wooden bridges that would lead to each playground from the dirt trail. They were only about a yard and a half long as far as American measurements go. lol. I also remember them getting replaced for stone ones that were still there when I went with my nanny, turned friend Ildi. Considering what you’ve just read yes we have been friends for almost 10 years at this point and I remember that we first met when my mom and some of the other moms of my friends started up a temporary high school back in 2017 but that’s a story for another time. Ever since then we’ve really gotten to know each other and we consider each and her new boyfriend I met last year, like a second family. That tiny white dog in the second photo is Soul. He was named by my sister who is two years younger than me, as well as the rest of us, after the place he was born. Soul Korea. He was the Runt of the litter of a dog breed. My sister was very interested in and so we picked him up and had him sent to us. He’s a really cute boy, even if he is a bit of a scamp sometimes.

One crazy time I remember from when I was young going to this park was when we took that long path you see in the photos and somehow my sister and I stumbled across a digging site that was on one of the four of Park trails. The site had a digger that was on demand and it looked like it had been there for months, as well as a bunch of quartz crystals sticking out of the ground that were about the size of a football. I set up in the digger and I think either my sister or my mom took a photo. I don’t remember who. I do remember that my sister and I pulled up one or two crystals out of the ground and carried them with us to our car so my mom could drive us with our treasures back to the house. I’m not sure how much those crystals would have been worth but sadly they’re long gone at this point. That was one of the craziest things that’s ever happened to me as a kid apart from all of the times I’ve almost died. lol. Again, other stories for other times. I mean that discovering the crystals and the abandoned digging site was probably one of the craziest positive things that’s ever happened to me apart from again, first discovering the Internet, and then finding out about Friday Night Funkin and NewGrounds back in 2021 when that game really hit it big with the Week 7 update that year! It started me down an incredible rediscovery of my passion for art, as well as my art journey on this site! Anyway, I really hope you guys enjoyed reading about all of my fond memories throughout the years, and of stories that I have yet to tell. I wish all of you reading this the best with whatever your life’s goals are.

Goodby for now! =D

On Wednesday I got on a flight with my mom to go to Sarasota, Florida in order to see some family members who also went up there for vacation! Yesterday I went on a nice walk with my mom and took some wonderful photos. I want everyone to see!

it’s very open where we are right now. we took a nice walk around the block and found a little entrance to an alcove of water next to the mangroves. It was really nice!

April fools!

Spring is here! The weather’s a lot warmer. There are plenty of plants in full bloom. It’s beautiful! I absolutely love how nice warm and colorful everything is. It really gives a wonderful Zen feeling to everything. My mom and I went on a great walk today, but first I’d like to share a photo of a tree in our backyard that’s in full bloom right now.

There were a bunch of bees flying around and pollinating this wonderful thing. I was absolutely in awe of this happening yesterday. It was really something special.

despite the fact that this tree has pink flowers, I don’t think that it’s a cherry blossom because it has different leaves during the late summer and autumn months. Here are the photos I took on our walk today.

It really was incredible out there! There was plenty of flowers on all of the trees. The grass was green and vibrant, and there was a little bush with some berries on it. That’s right next to the sidewalk. I love walking by that bush, and so it was a surprise to me to learn that it was a berry bush! I hope you all are enjoying the nice weather as well as the beautiful nature outside!

I went to California to see my sister for Parents Day Weekend over at her school, Santa Clara. We went to the aquarium over there on Saturday and It’s said to be one of the best in the states! I took a lot of photos there. Here’s some blurry photos of a crab. lol.

I like these guys. :)

I also touched this guy in a touch tank. There were also some incredible views of the ocean from different parts of the aquarium!

I also found out about two different types of fish with some pretty crazy characteristics! Those sharks being the Leppard Shark and the California Sheep Head. The Leppard Shark is a gentle, shy bottom feeder that has bristles for teeth like how whales do. They also mainly live in Kelp Forests under the sea. Here’s the Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_shark The California Sheep Head is a fish that is very interesting. Two of the facts that I found most interesting were that they could live up to 50 years and that if a female acts aggressive and assertive enough, they can transition into a male. Transgender fish! That fact gave me a lot of hope for our current society. Here’s the Wiki for this fish! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_sheephead

Here’s a cute bird I saw in the bird section.

You could probably do a reverse image search on this little guy. There’s quite a bit more images than I took, but those were some of the standouts I thought I’d post about.

I woke up nice and early this morning and felt super refreshed. I spent most of the day today just chilling out and relaxing, but I’m planning on drawing something new and posting it tomorrow because I lost track of time. lol! It also might snow on Wednesday. I’m super excited! I’m also going to try and do these general updates more often. I wanna update everyone with as many little things going on in my life as I can.

It’s snowing again! I’m not sure how long it will stick around considering the last time it snowed 11 days ago. It only stuck around for the afternoon and a night and then was gone by the afternoon. I kind of hope this one sticks around longer, although it was kind of unexpected. Despite the fact that it’s been in the 20s the whole day. I was upstairs at six one moment and then a few minutes later, the street sidewalks were covered in snow! It was wild! Here’s a photo I took straight after my mom showed me!

That’s my mom’s car! Lol!

It’s snowing in Charlotte again! It hasn’t snowed here since April/2/2019. About five years ago! Soon to be six. lol! Here’s some general info about the state I’ve lived in since I was born. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina Here’s an early snow photo. I’ll send more of them the more snow starts to fall.

Isn’t it crazy that it’s been five years since the start of 2020? That damn pandemic is well and truly in the rear view mirror and we’ve learned so many important things since then. There’s been massive growth in terms of our public understanding of mental health, gender diversity and physical health. Of course there’s a lot more then just those three but those are the three that immediately spring to mind. 2023 was the year I found out about more gender roles then just “gay” or “straight”. I found out about what being bisexual and transgender meant, and that someone could identify as both as well. It was really cool and fascinating. It was

especially crazy to see such a positive massive culture shift happen only within about a year, year and a half. Especially after leaving about past struggles within the LGBTQ community. It’s crazy looking back seeing that I was learning about this new thing to me right when people were finally starting to take this culture more seriously.

I also finally started to upload to NewGrounds in 2023 after finding out about the site through FNF in 2021 when that game really blew up. They practically saved my sanity after getting lonely and depressed because of COVID. I finally had a chance to fully express myself after feeling insecure about how I should fit into society. I’m saying all of this because now more then ever I feel like I’m really to get out there and live life without stressing the small stuff. I’m ready to live with fun, excitement, optimism and energy moving forward! I know it won’t all be sunshine and rainbows but I’m done acting like it’s the end of the world when something doesn’t go my way! I’ll use every opportunity good or bad to enjoy the thrills of life or to work on my problems respectively.

That’s my New Year’s resolution!

I’m so pumped to improve my art skills and really share my style and sense of humor with everyone!

The part that trips me up with it being 2025 is that we’re half way through the 2020’s and now even the late 2010’s are considered old! 2019 was six years ago! What the heck!? What have all your peoples experiences been like the past few years and what’s been your favorite experience this past decade and a half plus some change?

Hello’s everyone, I’ve been sick for the past two days which is why I haven’t done anything on my page. I’m feeling a lot better today though and I’ll probably be at 100% by tomorrow! I’m at like 95% so I’ll probably post some art too!
