✦Learning color theory in the future so that I'll be able to apply it on my drawings.

✦Developing better time management.

✦Be more responsible, such as knowing which tasks more important to do.

✦Learn more about myself.

...and more.

I hope you are still alive and kicking as I am certainly about to make bad decisions that will, in turn, make you hate me. No hard feelings✌️ Anyways, I hope that you, my future self, have moved on from the very show (ALIEN STAGE😡) that made us cry out our heart every time their account posts a video or comic related to the show because I sure have not💔. Anyhow, I hope you've figured out what to do with your life, even if your path largely depends on me🤐..ehe...😓Though, even if you haven't, I wonder where you are right now? Do you still like to draw? Watch silly shows? Read fictional comics or novels? The scent of paper? I hope you still do—it is one of the few things that makes us happy. Well, not that I really care. It's not my business to think about what you're doing right now—as my present and your past still have business to do😌 and I can't let my mind go into overdrive thinking about my future self's every single choice and move.

With love, peace, 23 cartwheels, 77 splits, and 45 backflips,
