I really did not anticipate how much better I would feel after the fresh start. I didn't realise just how preoccupied I had become with what I believed other people wanted to see from me, vs what I actually wanted to draw. There hasn't been a huge change in my content, sure, but the shift in mindset has been wonderful, and I'm finding myself genuinely enjoying the act of creating again after so many years of believing I'd lost the spark.

Tbh for a long time I'd been considering giving up on art altogether, so I'm really happy this last-ditch attempt to revive some passion for this frustrating hobby pulled through xD That and no one IRL knowing about me here, I can be myself again and it's nice.
