I was sitting in bed today thinking about all the things that I want to accomplish next year. I realized that I had wanted so badly to do so much that would get my name out there and then I felt bad for feeling the need to be more popular or famous or whatever. I sat thinking about how I wanted to build a community and how I wanted to go and make a difference and I realized that one of my biggest strengths is in making people feel welcome no matter what the circumstances might be. So here are some more things that I will be trying to accomplish this upcoming year.
1. Community
I want to build a community of people on the internet that is not all about tearing people down or making people feel that they are not welcome in the communities that we are developing. I want to stream with likeminded people, and interact with people that will be working to make the world a better place for all around. That being said I will not be allowing any political talk, homophobic or transphobic speech, or anything else that is not polite in society to take place across any platform that I will be on. I may not be able to make a lasting change but I feel that I will be able to make a small change in the overall gaming community.
2. Environment
I want to help change the pollution levels that are around my city. One of the hardest things to witness is the brown cloud that is constantly flowing around our buildings and our foothills. I will be more aware of the amount of time that I am using resources and will be doing monthly or maybe biweekly neighborhood cleanups to make the world a better place for any and all that wish to join in. I was blown away by an article I read on Japanese Times a couple months ago where communities would not be cleaned by municipalities but would instead be cleaned by the people that lived there. I hope that we as a society will one day work just as hard to keep our neighborhoods as clean as our homes.
3. Personal Growth
I feel that I have spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to accomplish that would maybe make me feel better about myself, I realize that I am not going to be super happy just by working on what people think about me in an online environment. That is why I have a goal of reading 30 books in 2019. I also started to learn Japanese on duolingo the other day and I have decided that I will be working hard to try and at least become somewhat competent with that language so that I can cross traveling there off my bucket list.
Thank you all for taking the time to stop by and join me on my journey to better myself this upcoming year. I think we will be able to accomplish much and I look forward to growing with you all as we push to become a greater force for good in this world.
