★ Not doing so well, folks ★
9 years ago
Hey guys
Just wanted to make a short journal about how I'm actually doing outside of FA. Truthfully, I'm not so well. I'm currently enduring a bout of depression right now about some affairs in my life concerning my biological family and my new life in WI. A lot of great things have been happening for me concerning my art and I do love living in WI with my s/o, but I also find myself missing my home back in FL. It was a chaotic mess of a place in terms of my relationship with my family, but it's still familiar. It's where I've been my entire life up until a few months ago and it just feels.. Odd.
I miss the good things, though; I miss my pets, the beach, all of the historic places in FL I loved visiting.. It's just familiar and it's gone for me, now.
But I digress. I hate being a downer in public and I don't like talking about my woes, but my art has been churned out a bit slower than usual recently because I just feel plain lousy and I'm hurting about a lot of different things that I don't want to talk about.
On a different note, my commissions ARE still open right now and I could use as many as possible. Every little bit helps and if anyone is interested in commissioning me, please feel free to note me!
Thank you to all who've taken the time to read this mess. I appreciate every bit of support I receive and all of the kind compliments you guys leave for me on my Userpage and/or artwork is very much appreciated! It truly means a lot to me.
I know Wisconsin is nothing like Florida, but if you ever need to talk or vent I'm here for you hun.
I do have to say, however, that Wisconsinites are so much more personable than Floridians! People here are great and I'm thankful for that. It's just been difficult trying to adjust and learn my way around.
Sounds like you could use a break from art, or maybe do some personal art inbetween coms! (that always makes me feel better), and maybe do some exploring in your new area, find some things/memories to make it feel more like home!
Anyways... hope you feel better soon!
I actually just finished a personal piece that I'm pretty proud of! Getting into personal art helps me regain motivation and honestly, I've been kind of lacking it for about a week or so. I wish I could stay happy and motivated all of the time but sometimes I just feel plain awful. I did go to a game con with my b/f last weekend, so that was cool!
Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback! It's nice hearing from you. <3
