A bit of a life update
8 months ago
Been very burnt out when it comes to social media and drawing, that’s why I’ve been MIA. I’m a few days away from moving for 2ish months to Poland for work, and I’ve been both excited and nervous of it, let alone busy from that. Dunno what to expect, but hopefully I’ll return to my home country knowing a bit of the language and a different culture! That’s always nice to have as a life experience…
I deeply appreciate the favs and watches I’ve gotten while I have been away. Today is the first time in months since I’ve logged in, and I’m happy for all of this. Whenever I can settle down on my new life cycle, I’ll try to draw new stuff. It’s difficult mentally, but so rewarding afterwards. Having spent so many years behind a screen drawing, it would be a waste to stop doing so. I’ve mainly drawn stuff for myself, pixel art and the sorts, but since it’s not furry related, I’ve kept it to myself.
I only use Twitter for local news and nothing much. The way it has been handled is so abysmal I’d rather be elsewhere. Bluesky is there, but I still need a bit of a mental break before posting to a social media of that format. It feels too close, as in 1 on 1 interaction, and I don’t feel comfortable with it, at least where I’m at right now psychologically. I feel “safer” here, if that makes sense. Reminds me of the old Internet days, that I perceive to be less anxious. That said, I’ve been considering creating a Telegram channel for NSFW art, to upload whenever I got something, as a substitute. But it’s a thought I’ve pondered upon for months. If I’m ever in the mood, I’ll do it and “promote” it here first.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day!

FA+

And I definitely feel you on the feeling "safer" on FA. It feels for sure cozier and less... forceful, I guess, than bigger social medias
