As another month turns into the next, spring saying goodbye with sun blocker on it's cheeks, i think it's time for me to barf my thoughts onto the keyboard again.

The only time i really did this was two years ago, when i celebrated 100 watchers. Now, i'm inching towards 900 already? (Like holy fuck okay)
Maybe i'll make this into a more frequent thing, my fingertips have been itching for some journaling multiple times in the past! (i guess this is what a journal is meant for huh)

So, where am i at right now?
Also around two years ago, i started studying fine arts at university. And honestly? I love every day there. Been learning so much and i'm really curious where the road will lead me to next, i still have so much more to learn!
But for tonight, maybe it's okay to just celebrate how far we've come. Time really did fly, and it's gonna be weird to close my eyes for one moment and look back onto this journal years later.
I met people who really pushed me artistically and also as an individual - for someone who draws furry art every single night, it sure took a long while for me to accept the "Furry" label. (It still feels a tad weird to say it aloud. But it's getting better!)
One of the reasons i am able to say this at all though is because i have fallen deeply in love with the entire community, and i owe you basically... everything i have today.
I can't think of a single online space that is this big, diverse, accepting; and values art this much.
Genuinely, all the feedback i have gotten has been the thing that got me to power through all ups and downs. Even when my drawings were objectively shit - y'all welcomed me with open arms and even threw commissions at me.
Now, i was able to quit a horrible waiter's job that made me miserable - because so so so many keep supporting me.
It's such a privilege to support ones studies with work they love.

I don't really have a point or planned this journal out (gonna keep it that way, keeping it authentic, don't judge me for any of this lol)

What i wanted to say for a long long time now though: Thank you.
From the bottom of my heart; i value every single positive interaction and feedback on my stupid beefy men drawings. Maybe it's stupid getting so sentimental about this, but a lot of my actual person stands behind all of this.

Even if it's not easy for me to say it aloud, but i am god damn proud to be a part of this community. Thank you for every interaction with my stuff, it means a bunch.

Thank you for riding with pico airlines: next stop, my bed, counting the glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling!
