Artfight. And then projects. And then landing a job. It's been some time since I've written a journal here, you can certainly say some decently big things happened!

The elephant in the room is to acknowledge the state of things being bleak in many ways. Yet I feel like I can do so much more now. It sucks that money is the prerequisite to achieve those feelings, but being able to support things financially is a substantial thing. And even aside from that, there's no gain from giving up

And my job? I'm a game master at an escape room! I love it. I feel lucky for sure. I had been job-searching well over a year and I FINALLY got something.... and one that's GOOD, no less. Something I can enjoy without offering up my true passions (namely art and storytelling) to the career system. And my GOD.... I have FUNDS. FUNDS for PROJECTS.

I'm already working on a few. Some indulgent steampunky fixture for my room (this required a trip to the hardware store) and naturally my halloween costume

Ive actually been able to engage in a few new pieces of media too! So some pretty swell news all around ヽ(￣▽￣)ノ
