At this point in my life, I am:

1. Building a more stable foundation for my future
   • Improving my health and building confidence
   • Planning and saving to go to University next year
     • Why is the labour market so brutal??? Oof. I am having such a hard time even planning for a job
   • Exploring my purpose and what I want to do with my life
   • Working through the challenges of being 17 and preparing to turn 18
     • Done 🎉
2. Finishing my final year of high school, feeling like a machine, still
3. Actively developing open source projects
   • Working on Vessel - a simple and easy multithreaded web applications framework in C (currently in pre-alpha)
   • Maintaining DeployD - a deployer daemon in C
   • Building and maintaining Ari-web - my personal website and services platform
   • Contributing fixes to random pieces of open source software and websites
4. Living in Lithuania (and having complicated feelings about it)
5. Struggling to update my blog more consistently
6. Maintaining public infrastructure and services
7. Learning!
   • Working with HTML, CSS, JavaScript alongside my stronger backend skills to have a better foundation in webdev
   • Continuing to expand my programming knowledge in Python, C, and shell scripting
   • Experimenting and "reinventing the wheel" as usual
8. Building (im)practical solutions to (im)practical problems
9. Caring for my cat Tina 🖤
10. Computing a 8192 4096 bit, 4096 2048 bit distribution Safe and Sophie Germain prime number on a Redmi GO
    • Gave up on the 8192 bit one after like 2 weeks of runtime. Halved it.
11. Participating in PetraPixel's IndieWeb contest
12. Working on school stuff, including various programming-related competitions (again), ResearchSchool (2nd time!, soon to be enrolled again), and a brandos darbas (lit. "Maturity Project", tr. Lithuanian, essentially a 2000-3000 word research paper)
13. In the process of, finally, after 18 years of hell, having my identity as transgender recognised :D
