Hi everyone, it's been a long time. 2023 was a horrible year for me.

In my last journal I vaguely alluded to my displacement as far as a place to live went. The TL;DR of my situation went as such: I was living on my parent's property in their guest house and they ended up getting foreclosed on. After several months of fighting to keep their home, I ultimately got tired of the anxiety and ended up moving. There was plenty of familial drama happening in the background as well, it was exhausting. Shortly after moving, my fiance's car ended up breaking down and got broken into, it was destroyed to the point of no return and we have been left without a car for the past 3 months or so. It's been rough, but despite it all the artistic spark finally struck me again. I'm not sure how long this will last, but I'll be sure to finish my commission queue before it goes away.

Thank you everyone for your patience, here's to surviving another year! 🥂
