I want to remember this for simply put all the joy and more kyoani has given to me since even before the last decade. and it inspires me, simply for the sheer amount of love and care put into all their projects. even if certain ones don't click with me as much personally, I'm always able to respect and admire the sheer level of dedication and talent poured into each one. which even with the unfortunate tragedy earlier this year, I can't see this stopping anytime soon. purely because of the amount of talent and care given to just about anything they do across all their staff, from their "bigger" major theatrical releases to small shop trinkets and short animations. so I'm also very much looking forward to seeing how they bounce back and what currently hidden talent goes on to carry on the mantle of the studio's future big names
I chose this necklace because it marks the first time that I met my best friend in person, and it fulfills both of the requirements. We had known each other for a decade online, but distance and circumstances prevented us from ever meeting up. Eventually though, she was living in a state very close to the one I live in. I was going through a particularly tough time mentally and emotionally in early 2017, and she took the initiative to come visit me so we could have some fun and cheer me up a bit. We had a great time hanging out and the initial plan was to get matching jewelry with each others' names on it, but we couldn't find it at the time. Her now-ex boyfriend's (who had brought her up here for the visit) favorite type of animal is a turtle, so we decided to get little turtles.
1) I want to remember this in the 2020s because I'm routinely in a bad space mentally and emotionally, but having something like this can help keep me grounded and remind me that whatever issues I have going on in life, I have a wonderful best friend who cares about me and has stuck with me through all these years.
2) It inspires me for the 2020s because it will help me keep my head held high and strive to live better so she and I can keep making more awesome memories.
I want to remember the Nintendo 3DS it was born and retired all within the last decade and it?s been a very important console to me. I got my first 3DS in July 2013. I later ?retired? my original blue 3DS XL in October 2016 as the hinge was beginning to crack and I had played over 3600 hours on it. It definitely got me through a lot of tough times in High school. I replaced it with the Purple Galaxy ?New? 3DS XL in 2016 and while I haven?t played it as much as college life and now adult working life are much busier it?s still been an important system to me. Both systems still work to this day and are very important to me even though the 3DS line has been discontinued and replaced by the Nintendo Switch.
Speaking of the Switch (I love mine btw) the 3DS has inspired me in many ways that I want to continue gaming on the Switch in the years to come and I really look forward to the new Animal Crossing as well. I may still break out my 3DS from time to time too for nostalgia purposes.
I thought a lot about what else I could post but ultimately it has to be this. It's literally moments that I wanted to remember (even from the 2000s, but also 2010s). It's all the digital pictures and videos that have been taken in my family that I could find. Especially now that I don't live with them anymore, I even live in another country quite far away. But I don't want to forget my family. So how could I choose anything else?
This is my switch. It always gave me joy this year. I played a lot of my new favorite games on it like pokemon shield, fire emblem three houses, digimon cyber sleuth and stardew Valley. And of course I am super excited to finally play animal Crossing on it this year. This switch helped me through some tough times because I stop thinking about stuff and can just play.
November 2, 2018. That's the very first day I bought a cassette and ever since then I've gone crazy with it. A friend introduced me to the album on release and its been one of my favorites for over a year now. Now I have over 100+ cassettes in my collection and I doubt I'll stop anytime soon :> Im looking forward to 2020 and all its new music, despite the grim tidings of the new year independent artists like this always cheer me up. Here's to a new year full of new music ^-^
From the previous decade I’d like to remember my Emolga plush!
The reason is because it makes me happy every time I see it! Also, it was my first Pokemon plush that I actually bought myself, using my b-day money from my parents. This plush means a lot to me, even if I’m having a really rough day, this cutie will always cheer me up. I also want to remember that this plush somehow got me to play Pokemon White 2 and it was one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had! I never would’ve played it if I didn’t get this plush. I was able to complete the whole game including the pokedex which is a big accomplishment for me!
I’m not sure if I had to do caption number 2 but I couldn’t really think of anything but I guess it inspires me to collect more gen 5 plushies in the 20’s. It'll increase my love for Pokemon and I might end up playing the games I never did.
Ok it's just a movie ticket but the reason I saved it & want to remember it is because it's physical proof I finally beat my social anxiety. This was the first time I had been to a movie theatre in literally over ten years, and I was invited there on a kind-of-date with someone who has become a dear friend to me now. Even just a couple years ago, going to a movie theatre with someone I barely knew would have been absolutely unthinkable. This ticket is a keepsake for the years to come to remind me that all the work I've put into coming this far has been well worth it!
1. Something that you want to remember from the previous decade (2010-2019)
2. Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?
This is a picture of my high school graduation cap with the gold tassel and stole I earned. The normal color was purple since it was one of my high school's official colors, but I earned gold due to having a high enough GPA.
3. Why does this picture inspire you for the '20s?
This picture inspires me for the '20s because it reminds me how hard I worked to get through high school and have more college options. It also inspires me because if I could somehow manage to graduate high school (which was pretty much a nightmare for me), then surely I can earn my diploma for college as well.
The picture in the spoiler contains the amount of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones units that I currently have Fire Emblem Heroes.
Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s? - Why I want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s is to remind myself of the amount of effort it took to get 25 out of 31 Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones units in the game. It took some pity-breakers and lots of orb hoarding (somewhat of a F2P player here) to get these units. It makes me feel proud of what I have achieved thus far when it comes to obtaining these units.
Why does this picture inspire you for the '20s? - When I look at the amount of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones units that I have in the game... I feel like it is telling me that I can achieve my goal of getting every single Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones units that I am currently missing if I strongly continue to save my orbs to get them. Just have to keep hanging in there and hope I can get them all.
Sorry he was being difficult! It's hard to take pictures of him!
I want to remember my dog Barley the most from the previous decade (2010-2019). My family got him in 2010 so he basically defines this past decade for me. He is my best friend in the whole world. He is my shadow,twin,best friend and family member. We are always together no matter what. If I close the door he'll bark so we're always together. He literally follows me all around the house and sleeps on my bed and cuddles with me. He is a very important part of my life. He is my emotional support animal and helps me with my depression and social anxiety. When I came back home during school crying after a bad day, he would go right up to me,cuddle with me,and wipe my tears away. He always makes sure I'm okay and he'll make me feel better until I stop crying. He always puts a smile on my face with goofy and toothy grin. He is very loyal,kind,and laid back. I'm glad that we we were able
to give him a better life. He was rescued from the streets when he was just a puppy. But honestly I think I'm the lucky one for having met him. He changed my life for the better and I will always love him. No matter how far apart we are, I know he'll always be watching over me. We'll be together forever.
This picture inspires me because my dog makes me want to improve for the better. He gets me out of the bed in the morning because I need to feed him,walk him,groom him,etc. He gives me a reason to wake up every morning and brightens my day. He also helps me go outside more which is hard with social anxiety. He just seems to make my anxieties melt away. I want to be as kind and laid back as him. I'll never forget the kindness he has shown me and he makes me want to help others just like he did for me when I'm having a hard time.
This picture inspires me because I spent nearly five hours trying to draw this. I believe it's the best drawing I've ever completed and I had to redo it probably seven times. It took me so long that I ended up doing nothing else for the entire day. I stared at Digby so long that I memorized his every curve. The reason this inspires me for the 20's is because I need to be that dedicated to my art again. I know I have a lot of room to improve in my art but I think this drawing shows that if I just keep trying I will make progress.
this picture is of my record player! i've been collecting records for the past like 4 years, and since i got a job this year, i'm finally able to buy a lot that i love. each vinyl i have reminds me of a time when i bought them and listened to them, and they all have great memories attached to them! it also makes em excited for the future and where music takes me
It's not really the tree itself though, it's just a reminder how much my mom does for me. This year, I was complaining to her that I didn't really feel like it was Christmas. I told her that I felt like I was starting to grow resentful of Christmas. I didn't really want to do anything which is why I waited to shop until the last very minute. The day after I told my mom this, she brought an entire box of Christmas stuff over to my place. She decorated with me and tried to fill every room with something Christmas-y. The thing she put into my room was this tree. It honestly looks ridiculous. But....
I never want to forget how much she does for me, even the small things.
Sorry for submitting this so close to the deadline! I've been so busy but I'm happy I made it just on time
Why do you want to remember the contents of this picture in the '20s?
Because I have really thoroughly enjoyed playing New Leaf and would like to remember that when I turn the page and move on to New Horizons! I had so much fun starting up my town, decorating it, unlocking PWP's, chatting with villagers, trying to complete the museum (still not finished!), and much more. I would like to keep playing New Leaf well into the '20s, but knowing myself I might get completely lost in the new game and have to pause New Leaf a little bit.
This is my dog Juno. He is getting old now. I would like to remember him because he is my best friend and I love him very much
This inspires me for the 20's because I would do anything for him and he is an amazing dog.
Something that inspires me for 2020 os my nintendo switch. Recently (a few mo ths ago) I gave up nearly all video games, and reduced my playtime of many others. This picture inspires me because it reminds me that real life, more often than not, happens outside the screen. This picture, for example, is me, in a hotel room (behind the camera) with no pen or real paper to weite my username, having not touched my switch this while trip. Instead, I've filled my time with other people! which i hope to keep doing in 2020
My mother in law got me this statue for Christmas. Its likeness is of my dog, Max. I nearly cried when I got it, I love him so much. I want to remember how my heart swelled when I saw this statue of my boy. Love is what I see when look at this and I want to remember my friend forever.
