Things are changing
2 years ago
Hi guys!
Some of you may have noticed that since last September, things kinda went downhill for me. I fell into a very long and exhausting depression and simply stopped caring about anything.
Everything felt pointless, especially putting any effort in my art. I felt tired and worthless.
I started taking my medication again and since late Januray, at least my anxiety got better. Still, I didn't care about anything.
In February I attended NFC, my first con since 2020 and I went there without any expectations and without preparation. It turned out to be a great time! (Ignoring the fact that I got Covid afterwards :P)
I met some cool artists, people I haven't met in years and had a wonderful time with my friends.
Thanks to everybody who stopped at my table in the dealer's den to buy something or just to be nice! You really cheered me up a lot!
After all these months of thinking about how to motivate myself and to start doing things again, I came to the point where I decided that things had to change.
I'm turning 40 in a few weeks and most of my life I tried to please others, setting back my own needs because of what others may think.
I don't want this anymore, at least when it comes to my creativity.
So I'm in the process of changing things.
My goal is to start over in May.
- I'm planning to update my Patreon and to upload more art there
- I'll change my commission process in general
- My fursona will change a bit
I'm aware that some of these changes might cost me followers and stuff but I realised that I simply don't want to care about weird numbers on the internet. I'd like to have some fun and do things that make me happy.
Thanks for reading!

You got our support!
Sadly as a random person on the internet we cannot do much other than send you nice words. So while this might not be much, I am sure that there are a lot of people that you have met in your life so far that will gladly do everything they can, just like we do.
No matter what you will go through or what you went through so far, we will be here, lurking and wait for the moment to maybe cheer you up. Or well, at least try. So please Mirri, no matter what changes or what you need to go through, remember one thing, we got your back and will give our all to do what ever is in our power to help you no matter what~
I really hope to be stable enough to keep things going but if it takes a while longer, that's how it is. ;)
I think I found things that bring me joy and I'm finally able to focus on a few things I like instead of trying to do everything just to please many people.
I found new hobbies whit new friends and now I'm trying to find my artistic niche. I'm too tired and lazy to try and please everyone XD
I wish you the best in what you do. I will still be here watching and following and enjoying all of your amazing art!
I won't dump my lioness completely. She'll still be there because she still is a part of me but my personal representation will change a bit =3
I am excited to see what the future holds!
I wish you nothing but the best with all your upcoming changes <3
Never regret doing things to make yourself feel better because ultimately it'll be better for your art as well, even if it means change or taking more time for yourself.
I hope that for any followers you might lose you gain new ones and some positive vibes, I know I certainly don't plan on going anywhere and I'm excited to see what you have in store ^^
And your personal health is the most important thing... since you only got one.
Self care is good.
Doing what makes you happy is good.
And people should respect that.
Fräulein Mirri, whatever changes, whatever you do to help yourself out, I'm going to be there cheering you all the way. In the end, I don't talk to artists just to get art. I try and support them as people, and you're a wonderful person to support.
I very much look forward to seeing what you do in the future, and to offer what I can. *hug*
Dafür sind doch die Treffen da, um sich persönlich mit gleichgesinnten zu treffen. Schön das du da in Schweden eine schöne Zeit hattest, das du dir dann dort auch Covid eingefangen hast, ist nicht so schön, ich hoffe es war ein milder Verlauf und von Spätfolgen bleibst du verschont.
Der Beginn eines neuen Jahrzehnts ist ein guter Grund sich über sein Leben Gedanken zu machen. Ich lasse mich dann überraschen.
Drückt die lila Löwin ganz lieb.
Zum Thema 40. Geburtstag, ich bin gerade etwas perplex, wie viele Leute in meinem Bekanntenkreis dieses Jahr ihren 40. feiern, ohne dass ich das wusste. Eine davon hat vorhin nur ganz am Rande fallen gelassen, dass sie heute (bzw. inzwischen gestern) ihren 40. hatte. Und ich selber bin damit Ende November dran.
