It's that time again. Another year passed, another year older. I'm 24 now at least, so that's something!

I figure now is as good a time as any to give some general life updates so people know where I'm at and what's going on in my life.

First of all, I'm so sorry I have been slacking so badly on art. I've been struggling horribly with motivation lately. Personally, I'd give anything to have the drive to start drawing passionately again, but as it stands, I'm going to have to force myself into a routine if I want to get back to consistently drawing. I've considered posting more sketches, but eh, I dunno. I feel like people aren't going to be looking my way if all I ever post are half finished sketches. Then again that's arguably better than posting nothing at all!

Rest assured I've still been plenty busy behind the scenes! This oc making train never stops running. I've always got character ideas on the back burner and plenty of kink scenarios cooking up at any given time, and I'm always eager to talk about them all!

Though realtalk for a minute, I'll be honest, this past month especially has been really hard on me. Between the loss of one of my pets, a large portion of my friendgroup fracturing, and several little things that have just been going wrong constantly, I've been struggling. Though above all, I've just been feeling lonely lately. I totally want to put myself out there, meet people, talk more with my old friends, make some new friends, join some new groups, all that. It's so hard not to sink back into asocial tendencies or to even reach out in the first place. Would love to live in some ideal world where I have this fun, extroverted friend who grabs me by the arm, drags me along everywhere and introduces me to all his friends, but it's just that. An ideal. It's not unwelcome, but I need to learn how to make those connections for myself too if I'm gonna exist in the real world. Regardless, all this is just a way of saying that I'm honestly pretty lonely. I'd love to meet new friends I can talk ocs with, worldbuild with, maybe draw with, but also friends who I can just hang out in calls and play games with. But even after all these years, I'm still too shy for my own good and haven't the slightest idea where to start looking, or I am afraid of either bothering them by talking to them too much, or making them think I'm disinterested by not talking to them enough. Truly don't know how other people balance this stuff so well, hahah.

Anyway, all that aside, hoping this next year of my life starts looking up more than the last, at least! Hope everyones doing well, despite the state of things in the world overall. Hope to have stuff to upload here soon, in case any of you guys have been especially starved for content from me.
