BLESS YOU Bandersnatch Wrangler, for once I'm not the oldest person in a Homestuck community!

I was 23 when Homestuck started in April 2009, 25 when I launched Alabaster in February 2011, 28 when I drifted away from the fandom at the end of 2013, 37 when I came back to the fandom and to Alabaster at the start of 2023. I reached 40 this July and it's wild to me, I feel like I'm still 20, part of me can't believe two decades went on like that.

40 is interesting because you really cannot consider you're "young" anymore. In no contemporary culture are you a young enby at 40. It makes you realize more accurately how precious your time is, how precious life is, how precious everything is. It leads you to drift away from useless drama as much as possible, to look at some events with a more critical eye, to choose more cautiously the people you're close to. You develop a kind of patience, and, hopefully, gentleness.

What I'm up to currently? Trying to get better in my daily routine, to develop more discipline. I want to get better at organizing my life, my budget, my cooking, my furniture, my relationships, everything.
