I'm doing better :3
6 months ago
I realized I didn't post much of life updates since 2022 ^^"
So I moved to Canada, Manitoba on a special visa in 2022. Worked in a paint store in 2022-2024(this is why I barely posted). It was alright, but manager was a pain in the ass & I damaged my back and the manager never gave me time to recover so I went back to fulltime furry art in January 2024. I've been full time furry for a year now(again!) and couldn't be more happy.
I really liked the environment , but creating artwork is where I belong and it pays the same(nearly minimal wage). I find art more fulfilling, tho I miss the machinery and paint store customers ;w; It was fun to find solutions for them and colourmatch the paint and stuff.
2022-2023 was a very depressing year, but now I feel much better. Mainly because I accepted that there is no home for me anymore. This and somewhere in the middle of 2024 my back recovered too. I wasn't able to sit or walk or do anything without pain for 8-9 months, but today Spring finally came and I'll go and try to learn how to skateboard. I get occasional pain day, but it's much better. Same goes for my migraines, I'm on meds that mess up my short term memory, but I have migraine once or twice a month instead of weekly.
Canada is a very stable country so this year I realized I can plan for year(s) in advance, it is refreshing. Even with the elections coming and current political weather it's not as unstable as the countries i used to live in.
So I'm doing great compared to past! Tell me if you're doing better too. Or some good news or changes. Maybe also about new hobbies you picked up. I started postcrossing and my first post card arrived to the addressee yesterday.
As I said, it's Spring, with that spring markets come up. There is Geeky Gardens on April 5th, anyone in Winnipeg/MB want to go together?:3 
As new hobby I started linoluem carving, to make stamps it is funny, I also continue to doodle here and here (I even started to stream it a bit too). I need to get back at writing my stories.
You like sendind postcards ? I love to write and send letters and postcards.
How does the postcrossing work ?
I am glad you are doing better. I wish you all the good for you Elvy. =)
I doo like sending postcards :3 In fact I'll send some snail mail to my friends in Germany and Ukraine next week. I want to grab some stickers for them in the upcoming art market.
Postcrossing gives you a random postcrosser address and postcard number. You put number on a postcard, write a letter and when receiver registers your number you are getting a postcard. You can upload card images as well so there is a small gallery. There is also forum with evens and postcard meetups but I didn't look into that much yet :D
After writing all that I noticed you're french! Je suis en 2 année d'apprentissage un français :3 Ne beaucoup pas de progrès D:
Lot of courage for the french lessons, I can help if you want or need an explenation on something. =)
And hiii Seth!!! I'm glad you're still around :3
Personally? Much better, even with all the amounts of stress of living, debt, bills, life’s a roller coaster. Yet it’s what makes it fun, challenges, toughens you up, I enjoy that.
New hobbies, art, trying to become an artist, no where near the god levels you guys posses. But hey, how can I get better if I never even try, for now, SHAPES! Just… lots of shapes and practice.
Also framing, that’s pretty fun too, built my first 12x16 shed by myself, now I kinda like framing even with small things like my new wooden tool Chest.
But hey that’s life! I like to think of life kicks the crude out of you over and over, even when your down. It’s when you get back up and keep going is what makes you human and makes life more rewarding!
Now go eat a Beaver Tail!
