Never lose the Magic

I have to admit, since my best friend left last week, my fiance's departure being delayed for another month and over all life boiling over, I have been in a rather sorry state.
I have worked harder than I ever have this year, pumping out suits, taking side jobs and doing anything I can to be sure that my wedding plans are secured. Sadly we will not be having the wedding this year, by the time he comes home it will be snowing so we might as well wait till spring and save our money. I can't help but feel a little defeated. All of my hard work seems to have secured very little. The summer is almost gone and soon the crippling Montana winter will be back.
Due to all of this I have caught myself in a bit of a depression, a few months ago I would have told anyone who said this all to me that you are a professional and it's time for you to get back to work. Being a business person means that you put your business before yourself. But after this year I understand, I understand what it is like to just feel burned out.
There will be no resignation here, it's time i stop wallowing around in my own self pity. It's time I get back to work and start producing those beautiful costumes that always made me so proud. I can not let my work be tainted by cruel people or a harsh world.
Do you know why I called my business Mushi Magic? Aside from the fact like I like alliteration, it's because I felt that life sucks, I mean it really sucks, the every day droll to the beat of the same drum weakens the heart. I want to fill the world with a little magic, something that doesn't have to conform to anyone's rules or ideas, something all it's own, free and truly magical.
Thank you to my wonderful customers who send me such good vibes, you all make it magical for me. I make the characters but i think you guys make the magic and I have to remember all of you and that will get me through. You all mean more to me than I think you know. You are all part of a little Mushi Magic family, when you tell me about your life struggles I want to encourage you, when you are honest about yourself I do not judge you.
My fiance, was one of my first customers, he and I were friends for several years after he commissioned his suit from me. After so long of pretending to just be friends and that we couldn't want more from each other, going to the fur cons and holding hands in the back of the shuttle or while we run around in fursuit. Too afraid to admit how we felt. Now we are going to start a life together. I would say that is pretty magical and it all started with a fun little costume and a friendship. My business brought me the man of my dreams, without a little Mushi Magic, we never would have met that year at AC and started what would become the greatest adventure in our lives.
So Mushi Magic Fursuits will not die here, no matter how hard life gets. Lets make some magic guys!

I can definitely understand why having to wait until next year for your wedding is upsetting, but in the long run it won't matter! You'll be with each other for the rest of your lives, so a few more months of waiting isn't so bad ;)!
I will have to wait to be wed, but at least he will be here. You are right, it's not so bad.
This is the first thing that popped into my head when I read your journal.
Keep your head high and don't lose faith! Things eventually turn out just the way you plan!
I have always been a HUGE fan of you as a person and your work as an artist. You are an amazing and beautiful person, and seeing this just makes it more apparent to everyone.
You certainly do make magic and I look forward with the hopes of someday having a piece of that magic too!
Keep on truckin' girlie. Karma has great things in store for you I'm sure of it!
When that day comes, you will have a spot in our little family, I look forward to working with you.
As my daddy always said, "Life don't stop for no man, you best keep up because if you don't, you might show up lite for your own party."
Keep up the good fight, hun! I know you can do it!
But you took it one step further by being easy and pleasurable to work with throughout my commission, so again I must thank you. I did not think my esteem of your character could rise any further before AnthroCon, even though meeting you was probably one of the most important things to me that weekend, and you proved me wrong.
I just had to say how much respect I have for you as a person and how lucky I am to have chosen you to bring Noir to life. I hope for the best to come to you and your fiance, you guys truly deserve every second of happiness!
