Thoughts on the Road Ahead

General
Thanks everybody! Pendant commissions are closed, but paint your own blanks and premade pendants are still available in my web store until the 15th!
I will be taking other commission types eventually, but they will be drawn, painted, or digital. Much easier to pack on my journey!
I'm excited to be on the road again at the end of this month, I've missed travel quite a lot, but I also have a fair amount of anxiety about the uncertainty that lies before me. Worrying about it won't help anything though, so I try to stay mindful of where I am currently and focus on putting one foot in front of the other.
Living on the road has its ups and downs. I can camp out, photograph nature, stare at all the stars. There are endless wild blackberries up here in the summer, and I can't wait to go swimming! If something bothers me I can just leave. I don't need to deal with anybody's expectations of me except my own, and I don't have to have expectations for anyone else either.
It does get lonely sometimes, and I can sometimes feel like I don't belong anywhere, or lose faith in myself. I am very grateful to have good friends. The financial insecurity is definitely a hurdle I still struggle with, but I believe as I spend more time focusing on creating things, that will change.
I don't know what shape my future is going to take, but I would like to road trip to various conventions! We'll see!
