Not that I am with super close contact with anyone exclusively on furaffinity, I thought it might be nice to put an update here just in case someone is wondering why I haven't been favouriting art as frequently as I used to.
To summarise, last year was utter shit. Like, legit one of the worst years of my life. Towards the end I lost all motivation to do anything I enjoy. Narrative heavy video games, writing, RPing. Even just replying to friends online was too much. I wont go in too much detail, as it was a lot of things building up over the year (and some of 2020/2021). But basically, I wasn't happy. I had no energy. Nothing was worth getting excited over or even worth doing.

I am, at the very least, doing a bit better so far into 2023. My boyfriend and I recently got a cat, which has definitely helped us both. Things are definitely not quite where I want them to be, but it's at least looking a little bit hopeful that 2023 won't be quite as shit.

I genuinely want to get somewhere with my writing, both here and elsewhere. And I really want to try my best to keep my online connections going, as I've met far too many good friends that I keep blowing off because I was struggling to exist, basically.

I guess this journal is also just a reminder to myself to keep on going, and to try and actually make more damn content for my FA. I'll attempt to do a mix of scriptwriting and more, traditional format stories.

Looking forward to attempting to do more transformation shenanigans soon, and hoping with bated breath that 2023 doesn't do the same thing that the last 2 years have done and slapped me hard in the face for even vaguely thinking that things will go smoothly. I am going to make sure that whatever is thrown at me, I keep on going so I can get myself to the place in life I want to be.
