21st Birthday: An elucidation for an decaying one, now ingurgitating alcohol

Today is a big day today. I am now 21 years old. I'd never thought I would reach this age, even though it's normal for most to reach this age. I'm just amazed at how my life changed and expanded as time flys by. I was born with low functioning autism, later diagnosed with high functioning autism (Asperger's), alongside ADHD and other neurological issues. And from the start of my life up until the late 2000s or so, I suffered with the inability to speak, loss of function, auditory sensory disorder, alongside a plethora of other problems. But a good chunk of these are gone, some still persist (like the sensory issues), but for the most part, I am much more stable human being that what I was when I was young. Yes, it's terrible that I still suffer from a lot of these issues, but the fact I'm still alive is just wild. And since I finally reached this age, I can finally accomplish something that I was unable to do due to laws: drinking.

I'd admit, alcohol was something I kinda feared for a while, but at the same time, I was mystified by what exists. Beer, wine, whiskey, bourbon, vodka, gen Z seltzers (i.e. White Claw), stuff like that. I had some sips here and there when I was underage, and I thought it was fine and I still stand by that to this very day. Not to hate alcohol or anything, it's not all bad, but it's not at the point were I would be an alcoholic. But hey, if someone offers me a drink, then I'm all down for it. Yes, I know it's bad for a lot of cases, but it's probably more tame than cigs, hard drugs, or any other form of toxin out there. But it can still be very bad if you abuse it, which is something I'm not going to steer into. I prefer sodas, fruit juice, and stupid stuff like that; hell coffee and water already fills in those gaps if I'm being honest here.

And as for the future, that's something I'm really wishing would speed up. The 2020 was already bad, last year was fine, and this year wasn't exactly the best with what's going on, but I'm really hoping things can change. I still lack a job, driver's license, or anything to get on my toes, but like I said, hope is something I should look out for. And since things are clearing up, I really hope the pandemic can settle down and I can get a job out in public, but only time can tell.

Despite the ups and downs, I'm still glad I have reached this far into my life. And for the projects I'm working on, CyberAnima is still being worked on, but don't expect much since it's still somewhat of a walking simulator. I'm trying to implement a lot of stuff, and hopefully a lot of things can be shown by 2023, but again, time can only tell. I'd rather take my time than crunch for this. Aside from that, things have been pretty well lately, and hopefully I can improve on myself physically and mentally sooner or later. This year wasn't exactly the best, but I'm hoping by next year things will be different. To those who are still with me, thank you for sticking around, and I hope the future is much brighter out there. To all my friends and followers, and family as well, I would probably be fucked if weren't for you guys.

Thank you all,
