i promise i'm not gonna just do this every other day, but it's hard to overstate how appreciative i am of the general reception to the account and the art i've shared since i opened this all back up.

those who have known me personally know how hard it's always been for me to just simply accept myself and the things that i enjoy. i've always had this anxiety in my mind fueling shame about something that was an irremovable part of me. while many others in my life sharing similar interests long accepted theirs, and proceeded to enjoy their lives, i always felt like i was stuck in place, unable to get over the self-conscious feelings that always judged me for this stuff.

this isn't to say i'll ever be 100% over it, but, having the support from others in the community, as well as that of those close to me, is something that is certainly helping me out. and maybe it's also because i'm older and am starting to care less about what others think of me, and maybe that process just started later for me than other people, lol. everybody's different, after all.

anyway. i wasn't trying to ramble, but, it happens. i may take a tiny break from the mad dash of making stuff so that i don't get too burnt out, but, i'm working on a couple of fun things that'll be done soon enough, i'm excited to share them.

thanks everybody, for all the watches, the favorites, the comments, all of that stuff. it's helped this cookie feel good about things.

peace ☕ 💚
