This Year I (2023)

## Description

This is a "This Year I" text, a text that I write every end of the year, to end the year.

A text about how much I changed and in which aspects I changed over the year, changes in opinion, thoughts, perspectives, and way of doing things.

About the things I did on the year, the things that happened to me, and my achievements.

## Text

This Year, 2023, a light blue year, the end "23", the "3" at the end, 2 times 3 is 6, a number that has to do with me xD.

I changed a lot this year, like last year, 2022, I continued to take better care of myself, to take care of my physical and mental health.

Trying to sleep better, drink more water, and eat better, even if I have had a few slips in the middle of the year, I always keep trying.

I started focusing more on my physical needs, stopping what I was doing to meet them.

I learned not to get too attached to people, and to end relationships and cycles that have to be ended, not to insist on them.

I started saving the memories of the year in the form of images on September 21, 2023.

Saving them in the "Memories" folder of the images folder of the year, and on the "Diary" image folder.

And also post them on the "#diário" channel on my Discord server.

I also changed a lot in the way I organize my tasks or schedule, now with a daily, weekly, and annual schedule.

And also other types of tasks, in another folder, on categories.

I renamed several folders from English to Portuguese, making them much better, and easier to understand.

Art:

I said in the text "This Year I" last year (2022), that I wanted to create my own OC pony on Paint Tool SAI.

So I started drawing my OC of "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" on January 21, 2023, at 02:36.

His name is "Izaque (Stake2, Funkysnipa Cat)".

I also greatly improved the pictures of my "Stake2" and "Funkysnipa Cat" Digital Identities.

In "Funkysnipa Cat", I remade his file using "Paint Tool SAI 2".

I improved his drawing a lot, the line art, nose, mouth, mustache, and glasses, and I also remade his sniper.

This year I also worked a lot on the covers of the animes, cartoons, series, films, and YouTube channels I watch.

Also on the game covers, all the covers are made in Adobe Photoshop.

I developed a unique style for the covers, with my Stake2 logo on the bottom right corner.

Borders, visual style copy of media or game fonts, date and time I watched the media or played the game.

And several other important data about the watched media or played game.

Videos:

I posted several cool videos on YouTube, on 2023 I posted a total of 11 new videos.

Writing:

I recreated the covers of my story "The Life of Littletato" on Adobe Photoshop to make them prettier and better to edit.

I revised some chapters of my stories this year, and it was very good.

Fandom:

I worked a lot on my Fandom Wiki called "Stake2", on its Portuguese and English versions.

I greatly improved the design, colors, and theme of the wiki, and I also improved the pages that exist.

I also worked a lot on the Fandom Wiki of the cartoon **My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic**.

I got the administrator position there because I contributed a lot to the wiki.

I changed the design and remade the logo of the wiki, changed the cover image, and greatly improved the style and the wiki pages.

Programming:

I continued improving my Python modules and PHP websites as always.

I recreated "Friends", "Social Networks", "Christmas", and "Years", and improved them a lot.

I converted the database of "Watch\_History.py" to JSON format, which is much better and more organized.

I also converted the databases of other modules to JSON format.

Work and money:

I worked a lot on "SproutGigs", earning a lot of money, and also watching videos on TikTok to earn money.

I managed to save a lot of money in my savings.

I traveled to the city where my two sisters live on December 18, 2023, at 15:00.

And on December 22, 2023, a Friday, my mother got me a waiter job at a pizzeria.

I worked from six in the afternoon until midnight, on Friday and Saturday, and I earned R$ 140 reals in total ($28).

It was very good to work in my first job, and earn my own money, I was happy.

Shopping:

I bought more parts for my computer this year too, I bought memories, but some did not work.

And I also bought a new PSU for it, and it solved several problems that the computer had.

This also allowed me to use two HDs at the same time and back up to the second one.

Watched media:

This year I re-watched a lot of "Oxygen Not Included" of Arkantos, "Melhores Clipes" of alanzoka, and "DayZ" of FAGames.

I like re-watching things because I have already watched it and I know I will like it, I always like to re-watch while eating.

I also watched and re-watched the specials of "My Little Pony: Equestria Girls", which was very good, I liked it a lot.

And I re-watched the first and second seasons of "The Walking Dead".

I also re-watched the cartoon "Atomic Puppet" which I like a lot.

Games:

I re-played the game "Bully" this year and beat it again.

Also played a lot of "Counter-Strike 1.6", "Counter-Strike: Source", "Factorio", "San Andreas Multiplayer", "Among Us", and "Dead Maze" this year.

I also played "Don't Starve" and "Don't Starve Together" a lot, I got hooked on Don't Starve.

It was great to play a lot and learn to survive many days, I got happy, and I survived until day 303 in my current game.

Friends:

I went to the house of my neighbor and friend a lot to play with him.

Family:

My father went a lot to the city of my relatives this year, to take care of his mother who is elderly and sick.

And because his sister who took care of his mother, my grandmother, is also sick and can not take care of my father's mother as much as before.

This made me feel better and freer here at home, to do my things, go buy things on the market, and have more freedom.

I felt less judged and less uncomfortable because my dad was not home.

Trips:

I traveled to the city where my two sisters live a lot this year, to visit and spend time with them.

I traveled to the city where my two sisters live on December 18, 2023, at 15:00.

It was very cool to spend time with them, with my three nieces, and with my mother.

On December 24, 2023, a Sunday, we spent Christmas Eve together.

We spent it at my second sister's house, she was the one who prepared everything.

It was a Christmas Eve party and also a birthday party for my niece who was born on Christmas.

We had dinner with tasty food, drank soda, talked, and I wore my Christmas hat.

We sang happy birthday to my niece, ate cake and brigadiers, and drank soda.

On December 25, 2023, a Monday, we spent Christmas day together.

We had lunch that was left over from yesterday's Christmas dinner, we ate brigadiers and cake, and drank soda.

I opened the sparkling wine that my second sister had received, and we drank together.

Christmas:

I posted "Merry Christmas" pictures and texts on my social networks as I do every year.

And I also wished my Internet friends a merry Christmas.
