I've been oh so quiet, shhh! Shhh!
3 years ago
How have I not submitted anything here in over four years? What happened? Seriously, it's like I've blinked and suddenly BAM! - it's April 2022.
It's been a crappy few years. I've been drowning in work, dealing with the decline and loss of close family, I've let friends drift away and sort of slipped into the autopilot of "just getting by". I've neglected a good number of things I enjoy, and people I care about, and it feels like parts of my very being have just been pecked at and chiseled away over time. This might be a weird thing to say, but I kind of feel like I... miss myself, or at least, who I was?
So, it's about time I start being a little more proactive about resolving that issue.
For starters, I'm gonna start drawing more. I miss it, and even though I do still draw occasionally, I'm very rusty, and much of what I doodle is really quite... not great. That being said, scraps exist for a reason, and I'm trying to overcome the hesitation of sharing stuff even if I'm not happy with it, so I'll be exploiting that. Hopefully friends will continue to hold me accountable for being lazy.
Secondly, I've grown rather fond of VR and particlularly VRChat, and that's opened up some new doors for me in terms of socialising and creativity. I've been getting into Blender recently so I can work on my own avatars etc., and I finished my first one earlier this year! It's not perfect, but it's sparked my interest in 3D again, so I might start sharing stuff on that front, too.
Thirdly, Twitter. I have one! I'm super late to the game I know, but I'm finally sort of getting into it. Here it is: HERE. I'll try and post more junk there too.
So yeah, I'm sort of coming back to life, as it were. Or at least that's the intent! Errr, thanks for reading.
