omg I get to talk about some of my newest guys

First, here's some quick chibis of them, and then some of the rambling goes under the cut

So these three are 3/4 of the main characters of a newer story I'm working on - tentatively called "Night Sky Meeting" for now. Anri's partner in everything, a nonbinary lesbian named Heyah, is the last member of the main main cast. I have added them in bc I love them

i'm a twitter refugee atm so lemme give y'all another life update n__n

my hair is pink&black stripes now and i feel like an irl monster high doll! i'll probably keep it like this for a while it's so fun. also i'm temporarily in a management position at work as we start retail holiday season, it's tough but i still really enjoy it! i recently got an award for most passionate employee so i'm glad it's been noticed hahaha

and i also surprised my parents with a trip to europe! it was amazing, we went to amsterdam and italy and i got to see some of my most favorite art pieces of all time. i started having epiphany-like visions at the sistine chapel, and in the uffizi gallery i stood in front of venus and just wept and wept. it was so fulfilling. it was also amazing to take my father to the country of his ancestors- he's never been because he doesn't like to do kind things for himself so i knew i had to do it for him. he had such wonder on his face at every moment and i really treasured those once in a lifetime moments.

also i came to the realization i think i have adhd??? i really thought i was just like this, no explanation HAHAHA i'm trying to work through this revelation with meds & new therapeutic tactics and it's really tough but giving a name to the beast has helped so much.

and while not everything's perfect in my life, i do feel to a good extent fulfilled. i have an amazing group of friends in my coworkers and i'm getting to a place where i feel inspired to pick up art again. i feel valued and respected which i haven't fully had in a very long time, if ever. i recently looked back at my old instagram posts from college and i was honestly stunned at how bleak my life was, how unwell i was. i knew it was bad but not THAT bad!!!! so i'm extremely proud of where i am now.
