Greetings all!

It has been some time since I've really posted anything about my life and where I'm at. Well, the biggest start and change is finally moving out of MA and into PA where the environment is way better mentally and emotionally. For those who've known me and where I was originally I was still under my parents roof for a long time. Much as I love my parents and appreciate all they do for me, it was just not healthy being in the same house as them for as long as I was. Now, I'm somewhere much better in a place with wonderful roommates who I can't thank enough for all they've done for me. With the help of many friends myself and Jin packed up our things with my pigeon Hedwig to start something new. This was a good start for both of us.

Fast forward a bit, there has been some big changes that's happened as well. I unfortunately did lose my best friend of 20yrs. My beloved pigeon Hedwig had passed on but he will never ever be forgotten. A truly loved soul whose coos will always be remembered for years to come. I also know this may surprise those who aren't aware but Jin and I have also taken a step back from each other. We still remain very close friends though who will help each other whenever needed.

There's been some adult changes made to get myself going as well. Finally setting myself up with medicaid and EBT has been a nice boost to where I can focus on smaller things where needed. This also means I was able to get a doctor check up and even dental taken care of. By the way, take care of your teeth because 9 fillings is a lot to go through! I'm sure I could have handled all that adullting side of life much better than I had but at least things are moving along. At the moment I still do not have a drivers license (shocking, right?) so I'm hoping to fix that sometime in the near future. The small steps moving forward are the ones I feel most proud of even if they're small.

Overall I'm working my hardest to keep on trucking where I can. My art life has improved by a lot which I'm kinda proud of! I've been taking on commissions again after being on hiatus from those for years due to where I was living before. Currently I'm working to open up slots at least once a month for various types. I'm still working to figure out what other things I can offer with what styles, so expect that list to change for a bit until I'm more settled into a rhythm of what I want to practice with. There's also the part where I want to branch out my posting locations so I'm not stuck to just BlueSky and FA. You can expect links to those places posted soon once I have things uploaded to them.

With all that said, I'm doing the best I can where I can. I may not be making progress at a cheetah pace but every little bit makes a difference no matter how small. I'm grateful for all the friends who've been rooting for me from the start. And I also want to give a big thank you to everyone whose been following me, supporting me and just generally being there for this wugon. I know I'm not the most social butterfly out there so my quiet ways may not seem like I have anything to say, but I genuinely mean it deeply. Thank you to all of you for always being there! I'm proud to be part of this community for as long as I have. I don't plan to ever leave it anytime soon. There's going to be more art to come from this wugon!
