2024 wrap-up!

here's my 2024 media wrapped! i read a total of 26 books, listened to 91k minutes of music, watched a whopping 102 movies and played 300 hours of games!!! isn't that kind of crazy... these stats make me sound like some kind of incel neet hikikomori but i swear i spent so much time meeting people and touching grass and studying Idk what happened. anyway i'm not complaining - i think this was one of the best years for my media consumption. i was thinking about it the other day but my tastes have really developed and i'm able to consume more critically. i also got myself to read more nonfiction and watch more artsy fartsy cinema which is awesome :) also i didn't include it in the graphics but my favourite games this year were final fantasy 7 remake/crisis core (i can't decide which one i liked more) and baldur's gate 3!

that being said i think 2024 was not a bad year overall! i had to adjust to a lot of changes this year and i was super busy/stressed at certain times, but i think i really grew as a person and also managed to work on my relationships with others. frankly speaking it's been a so-so year for cygnet.neocities.org - nothing will compare to 2023 where i was helplessly devoted to the site and the community ^^ it wasn't as much of a priority for me this year because i had a lot of other things going on, but i can't really be mad at myself for that.

i had a lot more projects and visions in mind for the site but i didn't get around to making that happen - and it's okay! at the end of the day, cygnet will always be my home away from home, and i'm grateful for this digital refuge i can return to and take a rest stop at when things get tough. more importantly, i'm eternally grateful to everyone who's stuck around this year. honestly i'm still amazed at how the page has grown so much - it's so crazy to me that i got 256 people to think Hey!!! Cygnet.neocities.org is a Pretty Cool Site!!! like ?!?!! that is super awesome !!!! i love cygnet so much, and i hope i'll continue to serve it well in the 365 days to come

lots of love,
