A Little Life Update
I'm quite a private person, however as of late, I feel as though I have been faking my positivity a little bit (imposter syndrome is a tough old habit to break free of).
Last week, I attended a funeral. One that was incredibly difficult as the individual whom passed away meant a great deal to me, and for almost a month since their passing to the funeral, I have been trying to keep my head above water and move through things with a forced positivity. And for the most part this has worked, but I have noticed a dip in my motivation and positivity since last week.
In a way, this post is purely for me to just get this off my chest, but I also feel as if I have created a wonderful little space with friends, mutuals and like minded people. And so, I just wanted to let you all be in the loop (whilst still retaining some semblance of privacy). I feel like I would be lying (I'm not sure if that's the right word?) if I were to pretend as if I'm happy 24/7 right this moment.
In short, I'm just a little weary, but all will be well. I'm splitting time between returning to work irl, being there for my family, and funnelling my feelings into artwork and writing (which has honestly been such a balm for me the last few weeks/months).
This page is an escapism for me, and a means of entertainment and expression. I love this page, and what its become over the last few months. I have stories and artwork to post which I shall continue to do so, I just wanted to give perhaps a little more insight as to why things have been taking me so much longer to post compared to previous months.
As I said, I will be fine, and life will continue to go on as it tends to do. But if I am a little quiet, or perhaps I don't reply asap to a comment, please know that I see it all, appreciate it all and will be as active as I can whilst I work through grief.
Love you all my little weirdos,
-Whiskey
