I'm still around!

GAD-FREAKING-ZOOKS!
I haven''t dropped off the earth again. But I swear. The real world is nothing more than a pain in my ass!
I wanted to do a little comic about how I am doing, but there is no desire to do so.My creativity has hit such a slump. This is not a burn out, this is stress. Unbridled, unmitigated unstoppable stress.
Everyday brings a new flaming bag of horse manure to my door step.
And everyday I have to put it out. Why me? Because apparently I'm the only functioning adult in a 100 kilometer radius! And if that is the case, nuke us from orbit, because ain't no one making it out of this bitch alive!
All I want is to sit, and draw uninterrupted. Is that so much to ask for? It's quite literally my job and yet I am inundated with pleas and cries for 'help' like I have a red cape and an 'S' emblazoned on my chest.
It's the worst.
I had 2 simple pinups planned with my new Hyena babes and oh suddenly, HEADLINE: CRISIS! RABIES' FAMILY DRAMA TO RUIN IT ALL FOR EVERYONE!
UUUUUURRRRRRGH.

I shall use your sympathy to power myself to ridiculous degrees!
You can conquer any obstacle. :3
Just glad to hear you're alive. Stressed but, okay. Hang in there. And if you DO manage to get a moment of peace. We'll be here
I'm not talking about deaths or a house burning down. In my own family, I just had to tell them that if they call me up at the last minute, usually they will be out of luck. Most of the time it's something they've known about for a long time, and just assumed I was at their beck and call.
I have a friend who literally has made it so his own mother doesn't know where he lives or his phone number. He has a pay as you go cel phone for when he wants to talk to her. I've known other people who just walked away from family and never looked back.
It's you who decides when and how much time you have for other people. As the youngest child, my family assumed I would devote my life to taking car of my mother. But I have my own life to live. SO do you. ^_* And yes, it sometimes seems you are the only adult, but a lot of other people feel the same way.
Hang in there and be like a duck, let it all roll off your back...
That's hardcore, your friend is wise beyond his and my years!
I agree with everything you said. I find it hard to walk away, but with my brother, I had to do that. Kinda sucks, coz I wanted to spend more time with my niece....siigh. Such is life.
Thanks for having my back! It's appreciated more than you can imagine
