Currently resting due to feminine health issues...
a year ago
❀Azure's journal❀ I'll be seeing a Doctor/Gynecologist soon. It's gotten to a point it's been affecting my health... I haven't been around as much because of it. Bleeding to death isn't normal... It's one thing to miss one day of work/school because of it, but not days. I haven't had the best experiences growing up as a woman...
Someday, maybe I'll talk about it more, I'm just not comfortable to talk about it too much... There's a lot of misunderstandings when it comes to feminine health. I've been doing some research and stuff like dark chocolate and Chamomile tea is really helpful for menstrual cramps. I don't speak for everyone, but it has been helping me feel better so that's good. I find that a lot of herbal remedies can help.
It's something I've always taken medication for, but feels like it has gotten worse... I'm never very open about my feminine health, or any vulnerabilities... I don't like being vulnerable... Especially online... I feel that the wrong people can use it against me, just from experience...
Still, I feel that it humanizes me as an artist so I'm okay with talking about somethings here and there, but within reason. I think oversharing isn't a good thing... Unless, you're close with someone I think it's best to keep things as professional as possible. I mean, online is a public space... It's like walking down the street or going to the festival or something...
Anyway, that's why I haven't been around that much. The last I was at the doctor a little while ago. So not that long ago. Also, I haven't been drawing/painting at all. Just haven't been able to do it and I didn't want to push myself too hard since it does take a lot out of me. For a sketch it takes like one to two hours, but can take longer for bigger pieces. Paintings are even more complex. It's usually two between ten hours depending on what it is and how clean the painting/drawing is.
Also, I've been feeling like I have to unlearn a lot since it's a huge learning curve, but I feel like it'll be worth it in the long run. I want to learn how to be a professional artist someday and I feel that I'm slowly getting there, skill wise, but I know it's much more to it than just being good at drawing/painting.
So yeah, just a little update. I've just been taking care of my health so won't be around much on and off. With that said, please take care of your health y'all. Health is wealth.
