It's that last post for the year where I revisit my old year end posts in the past and cringe. Gonna make this a recurring that started back in 2022. A link to my Year End Blog for 2023.
The Purpose:
I check my old posts. They still exist beyond the 7 day payout and these aren't just attendance posts to collect autovotes. They tell me what the hell I was thinking at some points of the year, my dedication to the hobby blogging, and see who I was in the past compared to the present.
You can do this tradition too and now is the perfect time to get started for your future Hive throwback.
Based from my 2023 entry, I think I managed to accomplish most of the to do list just half baked.
- Continued pushing the portfolio building on those art accounts across other social media
- Made some time lapse videos but no podcast or voice overs
- Haven't minted an NFT yet.
- Got a new job that pays well and doesn't make me drag my feet to work on most days.
- Still holding on to HivePH and Hive stuff despite the life changes I went through for the year.
But did I grow as a person? yeah, I guess but everything just fell from expectations about the pacing but it's alright. My 2024 goals would just keep on building on what I lacked in 2023 but better.
New goals to add for 2025:
- Buy a rice cooker and start cooking something.
This idea hovered for a few weeks after I wanted to explore a new hobby. I know art should've been enough but I get easily frustrated by the slow progress and just want a sub activity to switch to.
- Learn zBrush for 3D modeling.
Same thought as above but I want to create 3D models just to expand my skill set in digital arts. Maybe this is where I'll get good at if I tried.
- Get better at my chosen career path
I've been putting more effort to my residency training than the previous job and this earned me some good compliments about my work ethics. But these compliments were supposed to be common in my old job had I got the right mindset. I knew it was just my drive that's lacking to do work and that got me failing a lot in the past. It wasn't a question of skill, just a lack of motivation to improve.
- Make a voice over video content and some NFT
It's a least likely goal I can achieve next year given there's a lot already going on but I'll try.
- Keep my Hive activity going.
I know there's a lot of stuff I missed for not being on Hive so much. I schedule posts but it's different when I can allot some more time to engage with other people beyond discord. It's great to see the same names still present but better if I can get to know more people in here.
For my future self that reads this at the end of 2025:
Keep trying to do better even if things don't work out the way you want.
Thanks for your time.
