~LIFE UPDATE~
7 years ago
Hello~ I know i don't post that much to here other than maybe a few times a month or less. But this is just a general update as to why I don't post as much as you want me to or as much as I want to.
I have a full-time job. Yes, I get a day off here and there during the week, but I use that day off to spend with my S/O or with my friends and to just generally de-stress. Sometimes I will do things on my day off that pertain to art and art activities. That also doesn't mean I will post them. (honestly if your looking for my activity, go to my instagram @/black_hound_studio) it's a little more busy there. And thats not me trying to plug my social media. I genuinely am more active there.
"What kind of job do you have that you cant do art after work??" you might be asking. Well, first of all. It's Full-Time. meaning i get up early, go to work in the morning and don't leave/get home until after 5pm. Do some artists draw and post after their long jobs? yes. they do. But I am too mentally and physically exhausted to even think about what I would want to draw that would deem a post.
"Okay, but WHAT do you do?" you ask. I work as a florist at a local flower shop in the city.
"But isn't that a really easy, stress-free job?" some of you may ask. The answer is NO. It certainly is not. It's not your fan-fic AU type of job like all the other niche jobs you read your favorite ship doing. It's hard work especially if that flower shop does events. (which the one i work at does). So i work over 40 hours each week arranging, setting up, gathering, and carrying a hell of a lot with other people for this job.
I don't mean to seem condescending, I'm just irritated and these are common questions/comments i get often when I tell people where I work. Because if it's not my (personal) other job of blacksmithing, it's not really "hard work". I post my art here when I have the time. Which might be today. Might not. This is just to let anyone who has been questioning know, I am busy with my life and furaffinity is not my main marketplace.
