Lately, I've been looking for some freelancing jobs in my Upwork page and saving the ones I like so that I could apply for them, after my senior year is finished. School is becoming very grueling rn.. 😓 and I'm trying to catch up with my work and shit. Looking at/for these jobs however makes me feel really good and keeps me eager about what's coming next.
I am trying hard to find work that fits exactly what I like to do and what I am good at. This way, I know I will be able to do a good job and really help the ppl who hire me with their projects.
As of nowww!! my focus is on two main types of creative works:
One of them is illustrating children's books. I really enjoy making pictures that tell a story! When I was little, I loved writing and illustrating my own books using my own ideas. I also enjoy working on making videos for children on YouTube (compared to the abhorrent brainrot crap that has been flooding for the past 2 years now 😭). Because of this, I think making art for children's projects will be a really great fit for me!! 🤩🌟
Another creative work for me would be voice acting. My grandma chose this great idea for me, after I sent her my Furry Logic book reading video (I show my family members my yt videos from time to time), and she said I would be a fantastic voice actor! I also thought it would be a great job, so I am saving those types of jobs too!! My preference for voice acting would be for children's shows or audiobooks for kids.
I still have to focus on finishing my last year of high school, but I am super excited to start this new part of my life ssoon; I am saving the freelancing for next year (probably gonna start on that after I graduate in June). Sia soon!! >w<
Today's the day, that I finally got my brand new Samsung Galaxy S25 FE phone 🤩🤩 and spent the afternoon setting it up!!
I’m so relieved to be finished with my old shitty ass iPhone 12, that I had been carrying for over two years, and its inability to let me back up my data, and to charge properly (my old iPhone charger was broken) was when I managed to put down my FOOT! 🦵Huge thanks to my Dad for ordering this; it feels like a huge upgrade already!
This afternoon, I went over to my Grandma's house to tackle the setup process. We ran into a few snags, especially when we were trying to transfer my data from the iPhone to the new Samsung. It got pretty tedious and confusing to get through.. and we later needed help from a really patient and helpful T-Mobile service worker in a call. Transferring data between different operating systems was not easy, but after all the troubleshooting and work, it was worth the process.
Now, my Samsung is fully set up and ready to go!! Most of my important accounts were kept intact across most of my apps that I use, tho I did have to manually export my contacts from the iPhone to the new phone using the Mail app.
I'm already loving the new possibilities and its amazing features: more easy customizable options for the screen and sounds (im a huge sucker for customization loll), the ability to take better high-quality pictures and videos, downloading old apps I played as a kid (aka apks), and finally, being a part of the Samsung family!
Everyone in my house uses a Samsung phone, so I feel like I've officially joined the club. It's great to finally have a phone that feels fresh and powerful. I also forgot to mention that I also ordered a custom case for my new phone on Amazon. I added my own art on it, featuring my OCs Raine and Sprout. It should arrive sometime between the 21st and 28th, so it'll take a little while; I’ll need to be careful when carrying my phone in the meantime.
Anyways, once again, good fucking riddance Apple, and welcome back Samsung!
What phone do u guys use btw?? Lmk heree byee <33
My bad for being so MIA this past week.. Just wanted to drop a quick update on why things have been so wild on my end. It's been a legit dumpster fire, and it's seriously messed with everything.
My mom had to quit her job (I initially thought she was just off for a couple weeks) in order to take care of my grandpa (her father). He's still not doing great after a terrible fall a while back and is struggling to walk and use the bathroom. He also might be dealing with progressive kidney failure. All of this has been happening for a couple of months now, and it’s been a heavy weight on everyone’s shoulders. Me and the family doing everything we can to support him and help him with his health.
Also, as some of you may already know, my boyfriend and I have been dealing with some extreme, targeted harassment from one person (I wont mention their name for reasonss). It's been going on for like 3-4 years now, and it's gotten way out of hand. They've been stalking us, trying to dig up dirt from our past, spreading rumors and false accusations of us being pedos and other shit, doxxing us, and even sending death threats (one was sent in my email threatening me with a gun after I asked them to apologize). Apparently, they just can't seem to take "no" or "leave us alone" for an answer.
However, following some of my peeps' advice from when I made that video giving out more context bout it, I've officially reported this person to the FBI for me and my boyfriend's safeties. It wasn't something that we could just ignore any further. The stuff they're doing is actual criminal behavior and inhumane, and I had to do this for the sake of our safety. Fingers crossed they don't shit with either of us ever again.
So yeah, between a family emergency and a dangerous stalker, my brain just kinda went "nope fuck you." I couldn't focus, couldn't get schoolwork done. Ended up with some temporary zeros on assignments cuz my brain just… kinda shut down.
However, I was able to get into the grind this week, fixing all those assignments and even getting ahead. I'm almost done with all my classes and should wrap up this semester by mid-to-late November. My grades are surprisingly still decent (a few Bs and a couple As!), so all the hustle was worth it.
All this shit and stress basically led me into having a massive art and video block. You've def noticed the radio silence by now.. I'm okay with not posting anything for a bit (quality over quantity, right? 😇), but this block lasted way longer than expected; over a week! I just had zero creative energy or motivation to do shit.
So yeah, that's the whole messy saga. It's been a shitton, lol 😅😂
Really hoping that with the FBI situation handled and schoolwork almost sorted, I'll be able to revive my "creative streak" and create more stuff for you and my family; creating art and animations is my LIFEE i tell u!!!
Thanks for sticking with me! :3
