Spoiler:

Something I want to remember from the decade is my trip to China last summer. I got this jade bracelet (don?t wear it anymore cause it?s uncomfortable when I sleep) during the trip and it reminds me of my family there. I don?t get to see them often (only twice in the span of 15 years) and it?s something that reminds me of them. I also got very sick during the trip, only recently getting better and I?m forever grateful to everyone that tried to help me when my health was at its lowest ^^

Fun fact, jade bracelets are worn on the left wrist because it?s closer to the heart

This is a picture of my gaming rig. It means a lot to me because of the struggle I went through to obtain it. I don?t ever want to forget that no matter how hard something is, you can do it if you try your hardest and put all of your effort towards it. Took me six months of living in my car to afford it.

My picture is my inspiration for 2020. I started drawing back in July 2019 and I bought a few things ^^ i want to learn a lot in 2020 and improve myself. It's a great hobby and I want to be good as an artist. The first picture with my name on it is my entry the others ones are drawings from me. The first one I draw back in July and newer ones. I you can see I improved and I want to be so much better and I can't wait for 2020!

I have made it my goal to get my Masters Degree within the next five years and this medal serves as a reminder that I am capable of achieving this as long as I learn from the experiences that led to me having this medal. This medal, is a source of great shame for me and that is because it is one I did not earn but received none the less. I and everyone around me at the time knew I was capable of completing the IB program but I gave up on that goal very soon after setting it. The reason for that was because about 6 months into the program I ran out of steam and motivation, but the school administrators wouldn't let me transfer out of it. When I first joined the program I was excited, but not truly motivated. I was in it for the status that came along with the possibility of having an IB Diploma. I wasnt really motivated for myself. I quickly realized that the goal I had abandoned for this one was the one that was better suited for me. As such when it comes to setting goals related to school I need to remember who I am working really hard for and not get swept back into status. Im currently really tempted to go to two certain colleges/universities because they are top 3 in my field. But that doesn't mean that they are right for me. I need to ensure I dont repeat the same mistake that lead to me getting this medal of shame.

Spoiler: International Baccalaureate Medal

I redacted the city that my high school was in as it is engraved on the medal

For this event I've chosen something that inspires me for the upcoming decade:



For the past few weeks, I have been focusing more on my own artwork. Though life can be pretty busy at times, especially since I started my job as an elementary art teacher in August 2019, I've been working on making commissions of people's pets using watercolors. This inspires me for the upcoming decade as I continue to focus on my own artwork and take on more commissions. Over time I'd like to continue to better myself at painting and art making, as well as work to further develop both my portfolio and my etsy shop!!

Something I would like to remember in 2020 and beyond is my friend on the left, here, Alex. I hope this entry is allowed- I know it's a photo of a photo, but she passed away in 2012, so I can't exactly take any current photos of her. This photo was taken before gym class back when we were in school. I miss her terribly. We had known each other since kindergarten. We were about to be 16 in this photo. Time has certainly flown since then. I think about her all the time. Her memory haunts me. I want to remember her because she brought so much light into my life. She inspired me in ways she will never know about. We weren't very close around the time she passed, but I loved her with all my heart, and always will. I want to remember her because she is a reminder to never forget to appreciate those around you. Don't take anyone or anything for granted, ever. They might not always be there. She was such an inspiration, and the world lost such a bright soul. I don't want to ever forget Alex.

This is a picture of my at my high school graduation in 2015. It marked the end of an adventure for me - which was the end of schooling. I want to remember what I have learnt, and all the good moments that my friends and I had. It also marked the beginning of further experiencing the real world.

It inspires me because I once thought I wasn't going to make it past the age of 18, yet here I am, graduated high school and close to graduating university. I have had many small achievements since then that I thought I'd never get, so this picture serves as a reminder that I can keep killing it at life.

The Switch launch was the most excited I've been about gaming since I was a little kid- maybe even more so! It also reminds me of when I got to go to a Nintendo Switch preview event. That night was so exciting and fun, and it's a memory I'll always hold onto dearly These past few years have been rough, especially 2019, but playing my Switch has brought me happiness in dark times <3

Why does this picture inspire you for the '20s?​

Having New Horizons just around the corner gives me something positive to look forward to and I hope I can create many happy memories on my island throughout this decade

So, the photo I took kinda goes both ways? I want to remember it in the ?20?s, but it also inspires me for the new decade.

Spoiler:

Yea, this is a bunch of my BTS stuff. My BT21 headband I received from a close friend as a graduation gift, my LYS: Answer album I bought, my Jin necklace; as he is my bias, and last but not least, one of my favorite songs by BTS.

I?d always like to remember the impact BTS had on me (and a close friend who passed away), in the 2010?s. I remember, 2015 was a great year. She loved RM, I loved Taehyung. I even started writing a BTS fanfiction at that age, including her and a few other friends from this site who also enjoyed the band. Before she passed away, her favorite was either Yoongi or Hoseok. I think it was both. But my favorite before her passing was her first favorite, Namjoon/Rapmon. I will never forget her. I think I can blame her for my love for it. It?s something I never want to forget. I was blessed; truly. Wherever she may be now, I hope she gets this message and smiles, knowing her influence has played a big part in my life.

BTS will also inspire me in the new decade, because I?m slowly learning to love myself due to the messages in their songs. I will always strive to be the greatest version of me possible. I know not everyone is going to like me or be head over heels, and I don?t care. BTS has taught me this by the messages portrayed in their music. I?d like to keep their positive influence on me in the new decade. I never want to forget how much I am inspired by them. They will continue to inspire me in this decade, as well.

Can you see the date on the top right? It's a paper bag vet handed me that had prescribed medicines in it. It says it was August 18th 2019 and that was the day some incident drove me to catch her - the stray who had been visiting my yard and I've been feeding everyday since earlier last year.
On that day my girl had her very first time of part time job in the morning. The said kitty (8-9 months old according what vet told us later) was resting under my car as usual when my girl went out the house for her first time work. She immediately got back in the house and told me "She's throwing up badly, Yuki".
We were already aware by then that this kitty throws up every now and then, but that day it was so bad and unfortunately the weather was crazy hot outside. I wouldn't have done what I actually did if it wasn't that hot or if it wasn't Sunday morning. But actually it was Sunday. The only vet who's open on Sunday closes at noon and no any other vets are open after that. My heart raced for the words in my mind "she may be unable to survive, it's this crazy hot, she'll die from dehydration regardless of the cause, she's been throwing up that bad oh god what can I do, oh lord what should I do"
While she looked liking me, still she was a very very wary scared stray. We had discussed so many times already by that day if it was possible to let her in or if it was the right thing to do. She had been a stray. And I wasn't sure if it's happy for her to live inside human's house. Even more? we already had a cat son who had gone through severe disease and will need intensive care for the rest of his life. Our conclusion was we should stay just feeding her outside. But, on that day, she was throwing up so badly ever and the only vet was going to close very soon - when my girl/my buddy who'd always help me with anything was absent. I did sweat so much in the back. And.. made my mind to catch her, in order to take her to vet. Long story short, this kitty was frightened to death when I tried to catch her that she wet her pants( not pants, actually lower body and furs) with pees and excretions, and attacked me desperately which made me breed severely at my limbs. (The scars are still on my limbs by the way.)
I called my friend at vet to come pick me up as I wasn't capable of driving anymore because breeding too much. His first words when he saw me at the waiting room of clinic was "What happened??! Did you kill someone or something?" He told me later that he suspected so from how pale and messy I was along with breeding bad, and shivering like hell.

Now after 4 months, after we pouring every care into her, she managed to be used to living with us, I and my girl. We know she has a lot of health issues and we've been fighting with it still. But she looks doing way better now. She's now my life, I'm living life for her and my boy cat. I appreciate the luck I was given that day to be able to catch her despite bad struggle and it was so close failing. I've been putting this paper bag on my bathroom since that day and I'm going to have it that way - throughout next decade and beyond, to acknowledge, cherish and remember the bless I was given - that she's with us.

So this picture kinda goes both ways~Was from probably around 2017

Spoiler: A pic of me and my friend

​

Contents of the picture:
My friend is on the left and I'm on the right bottom. And don't worry about his expression, this was a meme and he was messing around. (he's given me permission for this photo to be put here)

When I went to college, he was probably the first person I'd spoken to? From then on, we've been inseparable! We still talk now, but this image is something I want to remember because we used to skype each other for days (did have two other friends whom we've skyped with but didn't have a picture of them sadly in this layout). I want to remember those skype calls because we use to talk for hours! And from this image the feeling of uncontrollable laughter always comes to mind because that's how we were on the calls. And its been a while since we've had a day chatting like we used to on webcam.

This image also inspires me to continue to be more social with my friends I still have now and try and take the time to enjoy each other's companies when we can, so I can have hours of enjoyment like I did in this picture~

Spoiler: entry

This is a photo (of a photo) of our old pet with the name-card and additionally the original photo. Here he is sleeping on my mum's old record player in one of our shelves. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2015. I want to remember him because he was a great and really kind pet and also the last pet we had. We didn't get new pets since, for various reasons but I really miss having pets. When playing with him he would jump on the ground kinda like foxes like to do to try and catch the toy. He also liked to sit on a closed toilet seat but never made a mess with the toilet paper like other cats might do.

This is a picture of 2 of my pet fish. I want to remember them because I've had them for a long time and they've been with me through a lot. plus when I was a kid my pet fish would always die so I'm proud of the fact that I've kept these guys alive for so long

(sry for the grainy pic it was rly dark in my room)

1. Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?

I normally look at my art and get a bit depressed with how little I personally feel like it changes, but looking back at what I was drawing around 2010 and to one I painted the other day makes me a little proud. I didnt have a picture of them as theyre at Uni right now but I also wanted to take a photo of my fair art entries cause at the time I was really proud of them! I want to remember them for all the fun I had on TBT doing them and the other events!

Inspires me to keep drawing. Its the only thing I've ever felt I was any good at and sometimes I want to give up cause I dont think I'm going anyway. Looking back to where I was 10 years ago though gives me hope that'll Ill have progressed even more by 2030! I've also made so many friends doing art both irl AND on TBT (like Rosie and Jacob <3) so I hope I continue to make more friends doing what I love in the 20's

top left was 2010, bottom right was yesterday​

New Horizons and quality time with friends, here I come!

Reason 1: This Switch is very special to me because my fiancee gave it to me and I want to remember this because I will be enjoying married life with her early on in this decade (in a matter of months!). <3

Reason 2: Getting a Switch is an inspiration to a degree because I plan on enjoying this decade to the fullest!

 

[p e p p e r]

I want to remember my Christmas Tree from 2019, it was my first Christmas in a new house and it's a representation of a new life starting and the best decade to come.

[DaCoSim]

So I kinda wanted to do both. Soooo many AC and new leaf memories from the past decade!!! And sooooo many future memories to be had!!! I?m so excited to see where AC will be in 2030 cuz it sure has consumed so many memories these last 16 years for me!

Here is a picture that inspires me. I have been trying to teach myself how to use a sewing machine. I try to find projects that will teach me a new thing. Last year I made a costume and learned how to sew ruffles. I also learned how to sew knit fabric for pants. I recently took a class to figure out how to sew an invisible zipper. Next I want to try sewing plushies, but I am a bit nervous because some of them have very tiny pieces and I don't know how well that will work. I made a large teddy bear following a simple pattern. Now I want to try a few smaller and more complex plushies like a wolf or a person plush. Hopefully it goes well.

My ?something that inspires you for the upcoming decade? is my makeup, especially eyeshadow palettes, it?s an alternative artistic outlet for me outside of drawing and painting. I remember how much is helped my confidence which then helped me grow as a person, I want to continue this into 2020 whilst also breaking out of my comfort zone, i LOVE creative unconventional makeup looks - i?ve tried them but never took pictures or showed anyone cause i felt silly, i?m hoping that can also change this year! Even outside of just doing my makeup I love seeing colour patterns/combinations in my eyeshadow palettes and then taking that into my artwork



sorry for the bad photo quality yikes

The picture I've chosen is of both of my class rings. I know getting a class ring may seem silly to some, but I love mine! They serve as great reminders of the past decade. I graduated from both high school and university this past decade! While the roads were certainly tough at times, I enjoyed both experiences tremendously and love to reminisce. My high school ring (the blue opal one) brings back memories of great friendships and teachers, prom, placing in the regional science fair, starting my own club, and graduating top of the second ever graduating class (my school just became a high school). My university ring (the garnet one) brings back memories of being on my own for the first time, meeting the love of my life, football games, expanding my love for biology, and helping me to decide what I want to be in the world. I treasure these memories along with many more I didn't list! These rings not only remind me of so many good things that happened this past decade, but they also serve as a reminder of all that I can achieve in the new decade especially if I set my mind to something!

In a way, these rings can also help me answer the second prompt (though my submission is for prompt 1) because they inspire me to go to vet school this decade! One day I'll be able to place a third ring in this line-up and be known as Dr. JellyLu
