so there's a few people i've told about this, but i'm just gonna say it here. this past month i've been dealing with the death of a loved one, someone super close to me and my family, who i'd been helping to take care of for several years. almost a month ago i woke up to a call asking me to make the final decision to give up resuscitation, and it was such an uncomfortable position, and what followed was a hellish series of concerns and complications, but just today we got to have the funeral service. i'm not quite through my grief, but thanks to today, i feel a small sense of relief. with this month i've been doing very little art, but i'm slowly working on things at a pace i'm comfortable with, and i'll get back on track eventually. but i just wanna say that i'm doing okay, and i hope to return when i'm ready. until then, i'm probably gonna be stalking around, and maybe uploading a small thing here and there. thanks to all who've shown me support through this time, and i hope everyone takes care of themselves.
