On top of the things already mentioned, let me just give you a life update, if you care about me enough to be interested:
I'm in my third year in college now, beginning to look at career options and future planning. I now have a deep desire to have my own place, my own job, my own responsibilities, and be my own man. I am seriously considering full-time ministry as a possible future, and to be quite honest with you, I cannot picture a life without ministry with a good conscience.
In 2019 I fell into a deep depression, I got out of it in the spring of 2020, but the residual effect still lingers. I can say to you honestly that I have not felt genuinely happy since 2019. Bits of giddiness, excitement, and genuine thankfulness is present in my life, of course, but not true happiness. The joy of the Lord? Oh yes, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do the work I do, but on a human level, it's been a while since I've felt like I'm having a good time while living. Sounds depressing, but to me, it's a testimony that the lord works with you even when you're in a pretty insufferable place. So that's where I'm at mentally.
I hope to find a deep-rooted purpose this year. I'm not sure how, but I think diving into the Lord's work is a good starting place. And of course, finding work, companionship, responsibilities, and fundamental things that a man is created to partake in will be helpful too. I've been in the basement for too long.
Lastly, I'd like to make you a few commitments for Comics for Christ: I will use this platform only to post things that I've thought about deeply and think will be of value to you. Every story, reel, and post will reflect this. I haven't taken that seriously enough, but now I realized the stake here, my content needs to reflect Christ, anything else is a waste of time.
Have a good 2023. Be convicted, follow the Lord, and may you find Him wherever you need.
