Where Dust Lies... Sweep

So...
Things have entered a rather uneasy, 'calm before the storm' stalemate between everyone that has most of my folks on edge. Thankfully, it is the time of not having to do much myself but be on standby.... which UNthankfully is extremely stressful. But, no sense in worrying about what MIGHT happen, just dealing with what does.
The plus side is that this has given me plenty of time to clean house and get things set. I am (hopefully) going to get ready for reacquiring an apartment soon, but for now, it is just living on my own at my sisteers place still.
What has changed is I decided to unload my storage unit and ended up finding ooodles of goodies. The biggest being a hard drive with a shit ton of old art (both commissioned and drawn, all thought lost due to drive failures), but this also includes sketch books... and sadly, old tablets for all that digital art I never drew. I even found an old light scanner for traditional art. And lots of drawing books...
Well, I figure if we're changing things in one category, let's clean house. I'm going through the unit to see what I can get rid of, what can be given to charity, what it too priceless to lose, etc. One other thing I will be doing is going through stuff and seeing what to share.
But share is another thing I run into... Been wanting to upload stuff, and have, but at this time, I am unsure of where. Do I go with here, or do I try another site? Do I spread over many, using posty birb? Maybe a social media site (that isn't formerly twitter)? I don't know. I want to share the stuff I have drawn, as I have with friends and contacts, but it is a kinda "got too much backlog" and "too many options." Indecision is a bitch, ain't it?
IF ANYONE would have suggestions on art uploading, whether it is what they do or have seen others do, I would love to take pointers.
For now, I will probably poke a bit more often here as I try to find a place to settle with my fat pink ass. If you want to contact me, all the info below is up-to-date (the dud ones have been removed, but I may go back there, depending on what it is.) As long as you poke me in some way on notes first, I'll usually reach out.
And I do appreciate everyone. Whether you just glanced or you did reach out to give well-wishes during this whole ordeal. It ain't over yet, but, support, no matter how small, is invaluable.
Kinda thinking of what to change around here if I really want to settle in. But, I'm feeling... refreshed? Revitalized? Maybe still exhausted but with a second wind buff? idk.
Love you guys. Talk to ya'll soon. Feel free to reach out if you want. I don't weird too hard on meetup... much.

Avoid twatter at all costs indeed. That's the highway to losing faith in mankind.
All I can say is, I've read it all, IMO you got a clear idea on how to proceed to find out what to do, but just avoid falling into the trap of overcomplicating what to do about it. It seems to be something I keep seeing happening more and more, too much contemplation does not replace action. You got this.
Yeah, the thought does not replace action thing is a huge struggle. But it is why I am trying to push past it.
Sometimes, small changes to the foundation work wonders. I've just put sticky notes on a wall recently, and it has been helping keep track of projects.
