Well shit. 4 years its been since I wrote up a journal for you poor, unfortunate souls. A lot has happened since 2018; two major relationships come and gone, three groundbreaking career moves, car paid off, making the choice to transition and officially go on hormones, living on my own in the heart of Wilmington, DE now with a new motorcycle and a bunch of awesome new friends. COVID looming overhead nearly the entire time. Sheesh, its been such a ride and I'm so thankful to my incredible family and furry friends for supporting me so much in these confusing times.

Alas, we've made it to 2022. So far it's shaping up to be more of the same, but its another year for us to make resolutions for that we know we won't keep. Speaking of, I had the pleasure of attending this year's New Year's Furry Ball here in Newark, DE which is practically in my back yard, hosted by the awesome Furst State Foundation. Furst State Foundation is a group of Delaware local furs organizing social and charity events throughout the year culminating in the pawsome party that is New Year's Furry Ball. This year they did some incredible numbers for attendance, charity money raised, and did so all while ensuring the safest possible environment despite the pandemic. Truly, massive props to the staff and volunteers who made it all happen. Check them out over at https://www.thefurststate.com/ I really wish I'd taken more pictures of everything, but with the festivities at such a fast pace and the convention only officially lasting the one night, I was moving too quickly to really take a breath.

Looking forward into 2022, I am hugely grateful for the position this new career has put me in and I'm working harder than ever to make sure it sticks. I'm in the best place I've been in a very long time, and while the finances can be a little tricky now and again, I have a primo studio apartment in a desirable part of the city, I've signed the paperwork on a new motorcycle (pics incoming) and have been having an absolute blast on it. The noise it makes paired with the soul displacing acceleration is just unreal; Such an experience. Also, I have started dating again, which is something I thought I'd sworn off after breaking off the engagement back in September. These two incredible came into my life rather suddenly and tickle my brain in all the best ways I haven't felt in years. So far things are going really well and I'm so glad to have these people in my life right now. The gods know all too well I need the help. I've also been taking my spirituality much more seriously in these last few months. I'm now starting to build a small library of reference material and components, collaborating and mentoring a few young souls and helping them find their way. All in all, between the transition, my spiritual growth, and the love I've come to cultivate in my friends and family, 2022 is looking to be one of the most affirming years I've ever had, and I couldn't be happier.

Also, for those of you interested in picking up a commission, I've posted some new adverts over on my official commission page:  Combatspace
