After a week of settling into this place I'm feeling rather good about this, given it's more chill than most places. I might have been apprehensive at first due to a variety of reasons, but it's kinda calmed down by now. I feel like you can sit here and appreciate things a lot more, just stop and smell the roses. Keep it chill, and that's something a lot of sites don't have because there's the never ending feeling that you need to produce something.

I don't feel as much pressure as I do when I look at my own profile on Bluesky and realize "oh, shit, I haven't made art in a week, gotta produce SOMETHING!!" and that feels very, very liberating to know because it means I can go at my own pace, and I don't have to feel as dissatisfied with me turning out art, you know? It's just freeing and gives some of my ideas for drawings a longer time to cook. I feel like this is truly a baller site where I can express myself now that I've given it a week.

Other than figuring out what I'm doing with Sheezy, this week was kinda tumultuous personally with me feeling weird about making a project with some friends and having to step back from it a bit. That, and processing the anxieties about this place with my partner was kind of also a deal that gave me a headache for most of the week, honestly.
And I've been trying to set up commissions soon (so I can at least get a source of income from doing silly art) and already got one privately from a friend, so that felt great. I'm ballin', I think, everything kinda turned around suddenly which is really great.

Also, I opened this to just check the timer of when I can upload more of my art so I can get up to speed with my more recent pieces, and... my art is in the CORNER?! I got SPOTLIGHT?? That's absolutely insane to me that I just got here and suddenly, the first piece of art I did to get back in the swing of doing art after a long, long period of burnout is on the top of the page. Kinda tearing up about that. Thank you guys. 🥹
