That's quite a long time for human standards. + +On this occasion I started to reminisce about the past ten years and the ups and downs I had in +this period of time. There are very mixed feelings when looking into the past and even more when +trying to tell the future. + +I feel like I have lost my purpose of being somewhere along the way, but the one I had was not +doing me good either. It gave me a direction whereas now I feel aimless, but it wore me down to +the bone and made me neglect myself. Nowadays I still have the tendency to disregard my own needs +-- old habits die hard -- but i'm no longer peer-pressured into thinking that it's alright and +that I need to wear me down even more to succeed. On the contrary even, my friends point out my +flawed thinking and convince me to take care of myself. + +Speaking of friends, I feel thankful for the people in my life. Those I keep contact with from +long before and those who came along during the journey. The diversity of life reflected in them +and all the different experiences I have had with them tought me a lot. Often I feel guilty of +being a burden to them… + +Change is probably the one lasting constant of life. I hope to change for the better in the future +and never lose my passions. + +Ten years ago I wouldn't have dared to make up characters and stories to share them publicly. +Nowadays I'm publishing [my own webcomic][remnants], where the first chapter has just been +completed and the second one is about to get ready for release. And I have ideas and plans for +more chapters to come. + +Excuse me my rambling in this blog post. It's just something that occupied my mind lately. + +Keep calm and wash hands. + +[remnants]: https://comics.nek0.eu/remnants/
