10 months since my last journal, whew

Hi everyone! Time certainly flies when you live in the freakish nightmare reality that is the 2020s.
I'm still in my weird period of trying to get back into art and writing on the regular. For the past few years I've been battling an alcohol addiction that I'm currently on the upswing from, so I'll have plenty of non-YCH art to post relatively soon (including a comic commission)!
Not to make this journal a whole big mental health thing, but I found it incredibly hard to be enthused or have the energy for art and writing while depressed, and then add drinking all the time into the mix. My "cure" for depression has been astronomy and astrophotography (I've gotten some pretty awesome pics that I'll definitely incorporate into pieces soon). Now that I can distance myself from drinking regularly, I can fill in the gaps during the day with digital art and drawing again. I have told a few folks that I'll have a sketch for them as soon as possible in regards to potential future commissions, and trust me when I say I'm doing my best to get to them. YCH's are a comfy form of art for me right now that I can complete at my usual standard in quick succession, but I'll touch commission work again when I'm ready.
For now, I hope you all have a cozy beginning of autumn~!

And of course, I'm just happy to hear you are managing. Hopefully I can manage to make some writings myself that you might be able to enjoy as well sometime.

also, i have high hopes that you can get back to a nicer regular life, and that it'll help you feel even better now
