For the most part, 2017 has been an awesome year for me, as have all years as of late, but of course there were some low points as well. In no real order, the good and the bad are as follows.


The Good

1. Made a start on my YouTube channel, as I now want it to be (it's a small start, but still a start).
2. Turned thirty, and had an awesome party to celebrate.
3. Took some awesome vacations, Spain probably being my favorite, but they were all awesome.
4. Discovered some great new shows, not all if of them created in 2017 (if any), but as it was 2017 I discovered them, they are "2017 shows to me", if you get what I mean.
5. Saw some awesome movies, and yes My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) is included.
6. Saw some inspirational Jukebox Musicals (hope to try my hand at that someday).
7. Finally discovered the identity of a cartoon I have been trying to find again for years and a cartoon I have been curious of occasionally respectively.
8. Finally checked out the identity of a mascot that I have been curious about for years, and found some cool foreign adverts, some of which gave me another character to like the design of.
9. Continued to appreciate the music in the world, and dislike less and less songs now (if any at all).
10. Took the first steps to getting my animated series published (again, a small step, but I'm closer than I expected to be).
11. Continued to gain inspiration and ideas for other projects.

The Bad

1. Robert Miles, the performer of my favorite song died.
2. Despite having a positive out look on the year, and respecting the opinions of others, having to see negativity for the sake of it can get tiresome (e.g. I love YouTube, but while I know it makes mistakes, I think some commenters focus on the negative stuff too much, and seem like they're actively avoiding things to like about the site, or writing it off as "dead" rather than making videos themselves to make it better - which to me it is already).
3. Two DeviantArtists, who I have shipped for years, broke up.

For the most part, 2017 was an awesome and nostalgic year.
