howdy!
just a quick update today i think.
- i am no longer going to uni. my mental health really started to nosedive and i decided to pull the plug on it before things got too grim.
- i did not make it to the big race i was training for π² courtesy of mental health and logistics.
- i am just working part time right now while i figure out what to do/where to go from here. my site manager is so lovely and it's really healing to be back at work rn.
- i will probably look at taking commissions again soon once things stabilize a bit for me. it is good to have tasks to focus on π
it's been a few weeks since i left uni and i'm starting to feel better :) but still a long way to go.
my art backlog is only around 30 pieces long now, so hopefully just a couple more art dumps and i will be up-to-date on uploads for the first time in years! here's hoping.
really appreciate this space and really appreciate all of you.

Oh damn. I hope it will get better for you, but I feel you. I dropped from uni once too, mental health reasons too.

Just don't give up on us


Good to hear from you! Nothing wrong at all holding off uni. You can dive back into it in the future when you feel ready! Hope you do keep feeling better, but take your time it can be a long process and patience is key. One day and one step at a time. Also look forward to seeing your art posts! Take care Jagzπ

Thank you Dexter! I think the way forward for me is probably getting more work in bike shops and just letting myself enjoy that. Returning to work has reminded me how much I love working on bikes and talking shop with people, even if it's a low-paid role at least it is enough to live on and i enjoy it a lot :)

Glad its something you enjoy! Who knows maybe while youre there some other opportunities can present themselves too! Life has a funny way of doing that, even when we least expect it. But in the near-term as long as its something you enjoy and can help navigate these waters I hope it stays smooth for ya!
