hey there!
so for those who don't know, i'm going to sum it up for you real quick.
ever since i started doing art for a living, times have been tough. i moved around 9 times (twice cross country, like, delaware to cali then back again) and was also in inpatient therapy for 6 months.
i've scraped pennies and piled on too much work and as a result, i'm having to slowly work through a pile of commissions bit by bit and try and chisel away so i can get back to finishing art quick. my goal is to be able to finish pieces in under a months time and to have streams where i get multiple pieces done a day like i used to.
i am so, so close to that goal. every time i would try in the past, shit would happen. i am VERY mentally ill. without listing every single diagnosis i have gotten from therapists, lemme sum it up: huge depressive swings. intense mania. nightmares almost every night. extreme exhaustion, trouble just functioning. sometimes i don't even wake up till 6pm or later (i am currently working on fixing my sleep schedule, and it's actually going better, but still) i take several medications, one which i am currently off of as i wait for a refill. the past year my living situation also became unhealthy, a bad roomie who was a hoarder, etc etc, and of course, fucking COVID.
but light is finally at the end of the tunnel. in five days, i am FINALLY at a destination where i can get back on my feet. i haven't been steady on my feet in a long, long time. this is seriously a big change for me, a big step forward.
the past couple of weeks have been...insanely stressful. i am not planning on working till i get settled into my house. so *here's the deal*
CURRENT QUEUE WORK: stream work, work from my alt account, commissions/ychs from here...they will all be worked on more frequently during this month as i start figuring out a schedule for the upcoming months. i will also be doing some streams as i still am going to need income eventually, but this month, my boyfriend will be helping.
i'm going to get through my queue. i'm going to start planning projects! things are going to get so much better.
please just have patience with me in what will hopefully be my last big transition for a long, long time. i ask that you try and hold back on the notes, i have everyone written down on my queue. if you've been waiting a while on something, i WILL get to it. i also try to upgrade the commission or draw a little doodle if i can.
so thank you so much, everyone, for your continued support. streams will be starting in the next week or two after internet has been set up and i've moved in a bit! (maybe even sooner if i have some free time!)
much love,
star <3

Best of luck. Having my own problems, like 99% of us out here; on top of the pandemic, environment and economy, plus my own problems and the general decline of Western Civilization, my mom was diagnosed with cancer and is starting treatment. I was already depressed before 2016 and it's just gotten worse since then. Sorry to ramble... I'm only kind of awake and attempting commiserate. Take care & TTFN.
