Hello good friends and colleagues.

I want to apologize yet again for not posting anything or getting done with commissions. I know a lot of people have been waiting an unacceptable amount of time to get them, but things have kind of exploded with my family. There's a lot to explain, but put simply, they do not agree with my decisions to do certain things. They have continually put down my dreams (except the ones that they personally see as potentially successful, such as working to join the Navy and quitting my shit retail job to work on art.) and discouraged me, even tried to force me, to not follow things I believe would be extremely beneficial to my mental health. I've been battling a very prolonged bout of depression for a few years now. I finally figured out something that I believe would make me feel much better, gave me hope for the day and year I have dwelled on the possibility of, and they view it as disgusting, unacceptable, and even manipulative. They believe that if I should go through with what I want, I will be destroying the person they thought of me as. They are very religious. I no longer believe what they do, and it's been causing a lot of emotional strain on everyone.

I'll be moving out soon, as the entire reason I live in my brother's house rent-free was my efforts to join the service. Unfortunately, I realized that's not something I can do without getting my mental health sorted first. That will also, by its nature and recent push backs by the government, immediately disqualify me from military service. I understand waivers exist - but if I go through with what I need to do, my chances are extremely slim if not impossible, and at the current point in time, would certainly bar me from being a pilot in the service. I'll be moving in with friends who support my decision, and instead work towards a commercial pilot's license. If things change in the political climate, I may still be able to join, though in a few years. I hope it's not too late, but I am content in my decision even if it ends up being a pipe dream. It's just the way things are right now.

On a lighter note, thanks to everyone who has supported me and watched me on here. It's very appreciated, and I hope to get more art posted soon for you guys. There's just a bit I need to get done here. I may be without my computer for a while due to the moving process, and I'm not sure how long this is all going to take to settle. I'm a bit strapped for cash right now, and haven't been in a place where I can pump out art like I was before. Things are tight, but will be ok.

Good wishes to everyone dealing with their own struggles. There's always hope at the end of the tunnel, no matter for how long it goes.

Have a great day everyone, and godspeed.
