It's so easy to sink into the stress of your everyday situations when life is busy and time feels short. There are always obstacles ahead, after all. The mental catalogue of all the frustrations can get overwhelming. But taking stock of achievements and successes and progress is invaluable, too!
Busy months! Let's take stock of what's goin' on: - Massive mental-health refresh after a breakthrough. - Art commission projects are comin' along swimmingly! - New friends, new contacts. - Rebuilt the kitchen! - Office rebuild underway! - Planned a vacation! - New VR toys! Wow! 💙
Takin' the opportunity while on the topic of praising ya' to say it's *so cool* that you explore grounded parts of fantasy in your comics -- repercussions, real character moments, consequences, mentalities. It's not only your art that kicks ass, it's your writing, too. Stirring.
Happy birthday, Sapla-chan!
Joined FA 15 years ago. Place was smaller back then; community of souls. One guy took care of us all. Dragoneer was the best community manager I've ever been stupid enough to piss off. Set a good example; earned my respect. Did good things, for me and others. Legacy of love right there. 💜, D.
Aiya, man. Sweet like sugar! Thanks, I appreciate it. Drives me up the wall that I've developed this anxiety, man; I enjoyed my own feckless confidence so much more. Maybe time tempers both flavors.
I've had trouble believing that I make progress in the relationships I try to develop. I can get anxious. Then, if I seek reassurance, I worry that being emotionally needy compounds the issue. To buy time to straighten my thoughts, I go silent, distancing me further. What a silly raptor.
Oh, he's gorgeous. Love for an underrated creature visible right here!
