Fucking cars.

  • Sold a (burned down) car
  • Befriended a neighbor (bizarrely after setting our house on fire, not before)
  • Talked to lawyers
  • Researched law and insurance companies
  • Accumulated debt whoopdedoop
  • Rented a van for moving
  • Rented a car for……driving
  • Bought a used car
  • Ordered spare parts for my car
  • Got my car fixed (like three times by now)
  • Realized I did a lot of car stuff
  • Went bouldering
  • Started sketching and journaling
  • Watched my parents separate.

Memories created – billions and bi….actually not that many.

So that was 2021. I hated it. I hurt people, I got hurt, I made stupid decisions and was unbelievably unlucky in some circumstances in which a negative attitude was really easy to default to. For those I hurt – I really am sorry and cannot justify it with having a stressful year. I do not want to write another recap like this which is why 2022 will probably bring along a lot of changes. Do look out for at least one ridiculous and random blog post this year and some videos I’ve been putting off editing, because shit hurts and I don’t want to go back to some places mentally, but I do need closure and I will get them done.

I leave you with some self-deprecating humor.

Cheerio, motherfuckers.
