Looking back at what happened this
year, it truly was the worst year of our lives.
It's not like one or two catastrophes,
all of this year was pretty dark and depressing.
But we're not depressed, we managed to
overcome all obstacles, and we're alive and well, yet all these
things caused us to go through a lot of sad moments, and also some
events cost us a lot of money.
This year, nearly all our equipment and
property broke.
At the beginning of january my notebook
broke down, as well as my car.
Fixing all of it (well, fixing the car
and buying a new notebook) was very expensive, but we managed to pay
bills.
During the course of the year, nearly
all our team members had to buy new computers, since for whatever
strange reason this bad-luck-streak decided that all our computers
had to break this year...
Cres didn't buy a new computer yet, but
the past 3 months her machine is acting up and it's very likely that
she needs to buy a new computer at the beginning of 2016.
But what was really depressing this
year, was losing valuable family members, and attending their
funerals...
My mum died in january 2015, my grandma
in july 2015.
Attenting those funerals also cost us a
lot of money (since we had to travel quite some distance), and of
course it caused us to lay down our work for a couple of days...
At the end of the year, Cres got into a
fight with her family.
It really went out of hand, the summary
of what happened is:
Her family wanted to force her to stop
being an artist.
They also tried to force a lot of other
things upon her, and tried to destroy what she build up in the last
couple years.
And no, it was not the usual "we
only want the best for you" situation.
In fact they wanted to force her to
stop working on stuff, and rather take care of household work and
foster her grandparents and mother.
It was a very selfish act of her
family, and they refused to listen to her, they ignored her opinion,
her thoughts and her plans for the future, and simply wanted to force
their own values on Cres.
Furthermore Cres discovered, that her
family had been manipulating and sabotaging friendships and other
relationships of her all these years, simply to force her to stay at
home.
And that's when Cres decided it's best
to leave it all behind and break contact with them forever.
Discovering this was really shocking
and depressing but as always it's better to know the truth.
Furthermore, moving places required
Cres to give up on her dog as well.
2015 certainly wasn't easy on us...
But as I said before, we're doing fine,
we've overcome things, and we managed to hold our ground.
There were also a couple good things in
2015, but they were small in number, but still there was something
good.
After my mum passed away, I was able to
get on good terms with my dad.
He completely changed during the past
year, and I'm happy this happened, though I wish my mum would have
lived to see this as well.
Also our webcomic became quite
successful, and the story went along nicely.
Furthermore we gained a lot more fans
and supporters.
Thank you very much to everyone who's
supporting us!
Thanks to your help and support, we're
able to continue doing what we're doing.
Thank you!
Let's hope that 2016 will be a lot
better!
We all wish you a happy new year, and
we wish you all the best for the new year.
See ya in 2016!
