A New Chapter and a Bit of an Apology
5 years ago
Heya
Basically ever since I started college, which happened before I even joined the fandom (I was still lurking and viewing art and all), I've been through various levels of stress, starting out pretty badly, then getting better as I made some life changes during college and getting pretty good when I graduated. Then it got pretty bad again as it took way too long to find a job that I could actually start a career with relating to my major, and then I pushed away some people while I was apartment hunting, moving to a new state, going through all the paperwork and getting settled at my new job, and that was a result of both stress and not having any free hour to sit down and really chat with people. So I apologize to anyone who I've lost track of or brushed off over really the whole year.
That being said, I am all settled in now, I'm working my new job on a potential career path, and I'm pretty content overall. There are still a few things regarding adulting like worrying about insurance and healthcare and such that stress me out, but they're pretty minor in the long run, things I'll get used to. I'm busier than I've been for the rest of the year and it'll stay that way, but it'll be more consistent, and I'll probably be in a better mood for the most part. I don't dislike being asked "How have you been?" or "What have you been up to" anymore, and that's a surprisingly good litmus test.
I've got some art/renders that I haven't gotten around to posting yet so I'll toss those up and space them out a bit. New job also means more money so expect to see more to come, too. I'm starting some good habits of keeping everything clean and organized, I'm doing more working out and my workplace really encourages it. I've gotten a drive for some personal hobbies, and while writing is unfortunately not on that list at the moment (could change though!), working with my 3D model is one of those, so I might try to update the look, update the rig, do some animations; depends on what my focus ends up being.
Thanks everyone, for getting me into the fandom, getting me acquainted, sticking with me, and for reading this post as well. Everyone have a great night!
