I hope you’re doing well on these holidays. First blog of the year since October. I know I said I would take a “1 week” break, but there is so much to change in my life that I have even made the decision to close a definitive cycle in my professional career. Let’s do a little recap to start this year.
2024 in a nutshell
It was a tough and messed up year, but with constant and transcendental changes for my life throughout it
It was the year in which I had to say goodbye to someone very close to me, who accompanied me for a large part of my life
It was a year in which I managed to realize that I needed a job to secure income.
It was the year in which I managed to retake my degree thesis and make considerable progress at the end.
It was the year in which I realized that I will not be consistent in creating content for my networks, but I’m still an active graphic artist on the background and perhaps my style of content creation was not the right one for me.
It was the year in which I gained quite a few new insights
It was the year that made me say goodbye to a lifestyle to adapt to a new one
It was that one year that made me realize that I have made almost no progress since the pandemic
It was a year that just today made me open my eyes and say to myself “It's time to be reborn”
Why have I been inactive since October?
I realized that I’ve been stuck in the past, overthinking too much about what to do for the future. That started to change since I had my brief comeback a few months ago, although I haven't done anything new since October due to being very busy with several NDA things, including the thesis, which didn't leave me time to continue producing my personal graphic project.
So don't worry if you see prolonged inactivity on my part, if I start a new blog here, it means I'm still alive, if not, that would be worrying (I'll try to give weekly updates from now on about whatever I'm doing)
New dynamic for this page
The blog will also have a new focus as you can see in this post, now I’ll focus more on documenting parts of my personal life (although for safety, without being too explicit).
With this I mean that I will no longer go looking for topics to analyze or research because it takes too much time to do so and interferes a lot with my current priorities. Despite everything, the posts will have the same structure as always.
New ideas
There are several things I want to start focusing on for this new year, such as getting back into Fm Artz with a new fresh image, learning new stuff in the way, finishing my degree, completing at least one important project for the year, making myself known, among many other things that will be defined over time.
However, the biggest of all is being able to establish a studio of my own. I would never have considered this, but I think it is time to do so, as I would like to offer larger services such as complete branding or brand launches and work on them as a team, since there are certain types of projects that I cannot work on alone, as they would be humanly impossible and would require other knowledge that I don’t have.
No more hasty announcements
Well, this one is pretty obvious, but the best thing I can do when there's nothing new in the works or I don't have something at least 70% finished is to not upload anything until I reach that percentage, instead I can upload random updates or something I'm really busy with, because whenever I upload a WIP less than 70% progress, you know, I'm like a Da Vinci making my pieces, either something happens or I become too much of a perfectionist at the end of it all.
