Its been a rough month or so, I feel like I've lost a lot of track of time due to my depression.

I just want to say once more, Thank you to everyone for helping me, I'm finally starting to feel like my old self again. I'm able to get out of bed, exercise and draw once more.

Even during shark week I tried pushing myself to post a drawing everyday and couldn't and loathed myself for not doing better, but I know its okay not to succeed at everything you lay out before you. That I am a worth while person and artist and that I deserve to forgive and love myself and the amount of support I recieved helped push me to fight through this and not give up. I want to thank you all.

Starting Monday I'll be posting commissions from my que along with replying to messages.

I feel like Im growing stronger and healthier and I feel like I can value myself once more. Its been one of the hardest points in what feels like years. And I was so wary of posting this online- I wanted to keep up a facade that I was okay and just ignore this but I'm aware now thats its okay to show that I'm not always happy or okay. But I know that there is that light at the end of this dark tunnel and you guys showed me that.

Thank you for your understanding and for being there for me.
