trying my hardest.

Gonna say a few words, you don't have to read it if you don't want to. I just wanted to share things with those who might feel like listening 🤗

Sorry if I may not be as active as usual on social media or in chat these days.
I spent a countless amount of sleepless nights working on commission and university stuff during the last four months, and now I started to face the consequences of it eventually, when I got sick but still had to continue doing what I did because no one will do it for me.
Repeating to myself that no one else will reach my life goals for me, I took a pencil again and again, until I have realized that I'm reaching the limit. Moreover, I may have crossed the line a while ago without even noticing it, and now I see that being such a workaholic might kill me eventually if I continue like this.
So I guess now I will have to slow down a bit. I'm forcing myself to have rest and sleep more by taking sedatives, vitamins and stuff. I think I won't reach my life goals if I work myself to death trying, will I? Doesn't sound quite right to me, haha...
I think the 2023 has been a rather lucky year for me as an artist and like really tough for me as a person. Nonetheless I am god damn grateful to life I have been given the opportunity to have my dream job and do art for you guys. I hope I will manage to successfully graduate and move from the country I live in now, see my partner irl, learn how to play the guitar and many other different things that make this life worth living and trying that hard I do🤗

I don't really have any sage advice to offer you, but you are right that if you work yourself to death, you'll feel dead. I've been there, it's not a place you want to be.
I believe you'll be alright. I believe you will graduate and achieve the dreams you have. It shows in your art, too. Keep the passion you have and find your happy medium. 🤘
I hope this helped.
You're a terrific artist and person. 😉👍
Many thanks for giving me a bit of your time❤️
Your art is special as you are special, you are a bright spirit in a cruel world. Don't burn your candle at both ends, studies come first.
And let's hope 2024 is better for all of us. Meanwhile I will save up for my next pic when you return to commissioned art.
I would say that I had no choice rather than to continue school. It's hard to achieve something in your life without a degree, so I'll have to study the last half of a year, doesn't matter if I want it or not (I do not).
At least the uni had given me an opportunity for the very first in my life trip abroad this year. I loved it, it was kinda cool. After that I've promised myself to do everything to leave the place I live in now...
Happy holidays to you as well and thank you!
Seriously I am so happy to see that people like what I do and that it brings joy to them. This is the best part of being an artist, I'm so happy I've decided to be one ❤️❤️❤️
