Been a looooong time since i've done a proper one of these!! Hello world! Friends!! Supporters!!! Random freaky freaks!!!!

It's nice to poke here again

Lots has changed with me! Spent the last half year working 60 hour weeks. Not the most fun i'll admit, but i'm glad to say i've survived and thrived because of it~

This year, I finished paying off my college loan in full, I bought and completely paid off my new car which i LOVE , and, by the time I’m posting this; i am currently in transit, travelling to Europe~ Leaving America for the first time in my life for a 2 week paid vacation…. It's SUPER exciting!!!!!! I'm, a nervous wreck about it, hahaha; but i feel i truly deserve this vacation, and i hope i can have lots of fun meeting my first real discord friend, in person~ also, hoping to re-piece together what it is i want to do with myself and where i would like to go with my life! I'm content with the 2 jobs i work now as they are close to home, and that i've now balanced it to be a bit more comfortable!! (About 45 hours a week instead of 60, yaaay) but i'm definitely, wanting a job where i feel more.. alive . Where i feel passion and joy in what i'm doing. That said i do value what i have now and will probably stick with it for another year or two, i just feel like i have more purpose elsewhere, and i need to make a push and find out what that is. I feel this Europe trip will be very enlightening!~

Ngl, It's been exhausting trying to manage socials,, in fact i haven't really managed them too well outside the very small handful of people I feel really do care about me. I am so happy and grateful to talk to them, and hang out with them every time i get a chance too. Thank you to all that have made it that far in my bubble, and a huge sorry to those that haven't found their way in! I am more selective than I used to be! I need to be. 1, because i'm bound to huge time restraints, 2, because i feel a lack of personal care or interest from them, 3 i feel i'm somewhat the problem myself, not being entirely honest with people. I’ve ghosted a few to fair amount of people in my years here and on discord. I’m, not proud of it, but I feel it was and is a necessary evil.. but, I don’t *want* to stay that way. I wanna start to be, more blunt, even if it prevents potential friendships. As much fantasy fun as I like to share and enjoy, I am very much a real boy, and this boy wants to live out a good reality. Lots of traveling cat times these next few years~

I want to upload here more! And be better about doing so too, I let it get so backlogged or wait a great many months before finally getting the motivation to post again,, it sucks! Because I truly do love sharing my commissioned arts with the world, especially to all of you reading this!!! Maybe someday I can spread Milo arts allll over the places, and have a lot more of you amazing peoples in my life~

Until then, thank you all so very much for reading this, and know this mint cat is wishing you alllllll the best in life~
