I literally have not given a shit about costuming...
Aside from commissions, Iâve given a shrug and a âmehâ in the general direction of our own costumes. Iâm sure Iâll get some done by Dragon*con...but just stickinâ with the âmehâ for right now.
Itâs good to just get away from that part of the nerd culture a bit and delve into other realms. Too many people Iâve met because of costuming have been questionable at best for me, and Iâm trying to learn and grow as I get older; I have no place in my life any more for childish assholes. And Iâm tired of encountering them. I like the feeling of removing toxic individuals and keeping them gone. Itâs nice.
Plus Iâm getting REAL tired of people treating costuming/âcosplayâ and conventions like theyâre the only thing in the world. I canât even there. I think I really am getting too old for that.
Thereâs been a lot of death around us for the past few months, as well as a life change on the horizon for both of us, career wise. Weâre gonna try to get a house sooner or later. Just time to move on, as it were.
For the time being Iâve also given up on keeping up with my FB page. Especially since FB has decreased my follower count drastically in the past month. I could give a shit to keep contributing to a social media site that isnât going to give me back anything in return, anyway. And I refuse to pay for such shitty service.Â
Anyway....itâs good to step back from something youâve been doing non-stop for the past 13 years. Yeah I still have commissions to finish....but Iâm doing that out of necessity at this point as I look at getting another secondary income to take itâs place.Â
I canât say creating brings me that much joy at the moment. It might a few months down the road. But Iâm enjoying looking at other prospects and hobbies. Astro-photography and astronomy has been the most rewarding thing to Chris and I for the past few months. Plus...itâs relaxing and itâs just us.
Now thatâs the way to go.
