oh my. what a long time it has been. four whole years since emi introduced me to this platform, four whole years for me to neglect it, and four whole years of growth in the meantime. i've made a lot of things in that time. i'm a youtuber, by the way. i think most people don't really have the luxury of being able to, at any time, be transported back instantly to whatever their opinions and thoughts were at any time in the past, but i do. it makes my progress and growth very apparent when i actually remember to go back and appreciate where i've come from. i've been struggling recently. to make new things, to work consistently. i've had lots of ideas for projects but it's hard to see them through. i wish the prospect of making a second channel video was as simple as it should be. fire up audacity, talk into a microphone for a while, upload it with random footage in the background. but it always becomes a whole thing. i hope you're doing well. and i hope the next time i come by, it'll be...less than 4 years from now. sorry, elliot. love your name, by the way.
