The beverage is flat.

Happy new year!!

Instead of doing an art vs artist 2025 of what I finished, I made one of what I didnt lol.

*wheezes* I finally did it. It's been over 10 years and my oldest OC finally has a look I'm happy with??!!!

Took a walk through my archive over the weekend and just felt. Weird. Looking at the art from what I repeatedly call 'the lowest point of my life'

It was. A not great time in my life to put it as vaguely and quickly as I can. The last 10 years have been a series of similar disasters and coincidences that any young adult goes through honestly.

Growing up, friends drifting away, family passing, and (for me personally) running away from it all because that will surely solve the problem.

And I've managed to make some pretty decent art through it all. I preserved for whatever reason. And I didn't stop creating. I never stopped imagining. I still have stories I want to tell.

Been stagnant for a long time. Picked up stupid habits, and too stubborn to admit when it's time to let shit go.

But it's time to let shit go. I can't undo the years I forgot. But I can hold on to the ones that come.

I have so many stupid crazy stories to tell and I will tell them all. I will.
