:^) Hello.

Like i’ve commented on the Valentine’s Day Art Collab ‘24,

I strongly believe Valentine’s Day should not be limited to celebrating romantic love only, celebrate your friendships, people you consider your family, your furry friends, and your independence. You have the right to love whoever you allow in your life <3

Even though I’ve been trying to hit the iron while it’s still hot, it’s a slow progress.

I’ve been learning how to properly save money in different kind of ways, sharing shift times with my art times, but I always reserve chill time too.

Biggest tip into finishing anything—my mantra has been.

“Finished not perfect”

Or on days where I feel like bare minimum,

“Eh good enough”

January-February has always given me the worst seasonal depression, and it wasn’t like it was a recent development, it could be because a lot of things such as death anniversaries and the aftermath burnout of holidays.

Fun fact: My ass still hasn’t properly put away all Christmas Decorations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I don’t really got a choice but have a mindset where,

If I want anything in this world I have to get it myself, because I can't change people's initiative levels so if I want things the way I want to, so I have to do it.

From birth, I was given a set of cards and I have to work with it.

Even though I feel like these two months are flying by insanely I guess I’ve done a lot. Maybe it would help if I remember to eat in the morning before I work on anything LMAO

Also guess what I completed comics after 10 years of not doing them so I’m very proud of that—

Please Look through the tag #NewgroundsBachelors2025 for all the artwork!! :)

We had a fun event in a private server to ship our OCs randomly in a roulette and it’s funny, lovely, and heartbreaking.

Some fun things I did/saw in January-February

Tomato plant growing up

Watched the substance a 3rd time in the theatre (it was full, it was amazing)

Got into Mouthwashing

HE LP at the arcade (soul is trapped)

Today’s underrated Recommendation!!

The graphic novel, “It’s lonely at the Centre of the Universe” by Zoe Thorogood.

My review:

This is a multi-media, auto-biography graphic novel about the author’s bout with depression during her art career.

Its depictions of depression by Zoe are unforgiving and raw, I love it, ended up finishing this one in two days and I see myself reading this one again.

This is a NOT a graphic novel made to make you comfortable and happy, there’s no likeable heroine (and even the author likely hopes you don’t idealize her in any way), but these are people. With their own flaws, judgements, and individual depression.

If you happen to read this and it left you with uncomfortability & dread halfway, it’s doing a job. It’s holding a mirror to human nature that we don’t get to see because like it or not, we are used to media serving us happiness all the time with happy for sure endings.
