Issuing refunds; Calling it quits.
7 years ago
First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their support throughout the years I've been here. Met many amazing people and had some wonderful times working with all of you.
However, recently, I've had no time or motivation to get anything done. Constant 10 - 14 hour days of grueling labor leave me without any energy and there's no end in sight. It's been keeping up with the bills, thankfully, but I can't afford to job-hop here to make time for things that I want to do.
On top of that, I'm in a super committed relationship now, and, regrettably, she's not into the same things I am and is greatly put off by it. She was tolerant at first, but it's become more and more apparent that that tolerance is running thin. I want to keep her happy.
[Edit] Just talked to my girl, and while she thinks the subject is hella weird, she lets me do me. So while I'll still be on hyper hiatus, I can still doodle if ever I get the time.
This is the toughest thing thing that I've had to do ever, but I've gotta hang up my tablet to make room for other things. I may be back, but it's hugely unlikely.
It's been fun!

And thank you for Sera, while I don't get art for her as I much as I use to it doesn't mean I've not used her for RPs
Like this for example: If my husband told me to give up my Pharmacy practice to instead do something else cause he thought it was a worthless practice, seems selfish.
That's what this scenario feels like with your GF being "tolerant" of something you like.
I know it may seem disrespectful to butt in with my 2 cents but, it just doenst feel right.
It's not because I know I wont see your art again, but it's more the personal respect your GF should give you and she isn't.
A relationship should be on the grounds of trust, respect, and the acceptance of who the people are when we are with them.
Just my few cents on the matter.
*Drops a few pennies*
Instead of using your art as a way to get money Full/Part Time, use it as a hobby to get extra money here and there.
Or, just do art when you feel like, as a true hobby with no profit. That way there is no stress on yourself
She may think the subject is weird, but that's her opinion. It's a part of you and she needs to accept it.
I hope this means she will understand who you are, and what it means to you personally.
Thanks for the years of amazing art though! Take care of yourself :)
Hope you and your girl have a smooth life and I wish for the best future for ya. Thanks again Derilect.
But what we do in real life is far more important than the internet. Foremost of all, do what makes YOU happy. Dont let the things of happiness be one-sided. Make sure that the relationship brings you happiness and not burdens. Just.. a little tip and two cents.
Take care Derilect and thanks again for the good times. May we meet again. ^^ Cheers!
If he's into this, that's fine lol he's never pushed it onto me, it's not illegal, and he's not hurting anyone. That's all I care about. We had the serious conversation a long time ago when we first started dating about why he's into it, when it started, etc. I have zero issues with it and we weren't going to pursue the relationship until we had the kink conversation. So chill.
The biggest factors are the other things he's mentioned. He struggles right now as we make a life for ourselves here and build for the things we want. I also currently no longer draw, but it's sometime I want to get back into. I'm sure he'll be back more frequently eventually.
Buuut it looks like everything's under control? Mostly?
Well whatever the reason, be safe, have fun, and I wish y'all a long and happy relationship
Besides, I'm one of those people who has only a couple main interests, none of which are all that expensive. I don't need luxury or anything.
Just know, if I do (and it is possible), you'll have a place on that list of people I want to help.
