Hello my sinners~

It’s been two months since I last spoke to you and a lot has happened in my life since then. This year has been very impactful for me so far, for better or for worse. I’ve been meaning to type this sooner, but I’m just so tired… In this entry, I will be discussing my current situation and the impact it will have on my artistic endeavors.

Currently, I am in the middle of a break-up. I do not want to delve into the details, but I will say the whole thing has left me feeling drained. You might have noticed that ever since the beginning of the new year, my output of content has been very very minimal, more than usual. Throughout January, I have been thinking about me and my significant other's relationship, and about a week ago, I made the decision to leave.

This decision has put me in an uncomfortable situation, since me and my ex still live together. We’ve been together for seven years, and in those seven years I never thought I’d have to scramble around for a way out anytime soon. There’s been so much I’ve been having to do, such as looking for a full-time job, preparing to move, looking for an apartment, etc… Everything has been super tiresome, and naturally, it’s impacted my art.

I never pride myself on being an artist who can upload artwork every day, but I have always done my best to keep some level of consistency. I know myself, I like to take things slow and go at my own pace. I’m telling you this to let you know that things are going to change around here. My upload consistency has already been slow as is, but it is going to get much slower. Not to mention how much this situation has impacted my motivation to draw in general.

As I mentioned earlier, one of the things I’ve been doing is looking for full-time work. I need a better job in order to sustain myself on my own, and currently I only work part-time. To anyone who has ever looked for a job here in the states, you know first hand just how much of a pain in the ass the whole process can be. That on top of worrying about where I am going to live and what my future might be has me stressed, worried, and tired. I’ve been doing my best to keep myself busy, but it still pains me.

I can’t predict the future, so who knows when I’ll be able to leave or when things will get better. As I focus on my personal life, I just want you to know that content will be slow. Once I finally have a full-time job, I’ll have less time to draw, but that does not mean I’m quitting art. I love drawing and it’s part of who I am. Despite working full-time, I’ll find a way to continue to make art, so don't worry. I’m not going anywhere!

As always, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read what I have to say. This whole situation sucks, but please do not worry about me. I am not alone in this chapter of my life. I have friends and family who love me, and I also have you, so thank you for being by my side all this time. From the bottom of my heart, I love you!

P.S. I will be making another announcement later this week in regards to my new Instagram account, commissions, and what the status is on my acrylic charms.
