Day 2. Your last cosplay. Pinup Rogue. This was also at my last con of 2020 @c2e2 . While many cosplayers found the motivation and drive to create through the pandemic, I fell into that grouping of humans that struggled, like many. My anxiety and depression definitely showed through in my posts and stories, as it became increasingly difficult to bottle it in as our state of being and quarantine loneliness became increasingly crippling. My drive was to just make it through to 2021 in one piece. And thats ok. So my creativity died, for a time. And now its back and brighter than ever. Funny how that works. I tend to be very private when it comes to my life, but sometimes I open up about certain things because I feel that if it can helps someone out there and if it can be relatable to just one person, and reach them, and help them, then that's all that matters. We are all human and we all struggle. All I can say is this: don't feel bad if all you did last year was survive. Don't feel bad if all you did last year was sleep. Don't feel bad if all you did last year was work out. Don't feel bad if all you did last year was create or work or meet your goals. Our journey is ours and ours alone and it looks different for each and every one of us. Stop looking at the person next to you and comparing your progress to theirs. Instead, focus on your path and endeavor to be better than the person you were yesterday. You have your setbacks and thats ok. Allow yourself to rest. Just remember to get back up again. Fight.
