Sorry! I know I'm a little late with this, I was sick in the lead-up to New Years so I'm a little behind on a lot ^^;
Well what can I say? Other than the obvious of goodbye to 2022, I will definitely NOT be missing you.
Much like many I had an insanely rough year of 2022, my cat of 16yrs had to be put down, my dream job of doing art for a living came to an end, nearly became homeless, lost friendships, and after all my life thinking something was wrong with me I was finally diagnosed on the Autism spectrum, and I discovered in 2022 I've lived with gender dysphoria and gender envy without understanding what those feelings were.
Needless to say, somethings hurt more than others, and some I'm still trying to figure out what to do about it now that I know what it is.
But regardless, I just want 2023 to be better, not just for myself, but for everyone, for all of you as well! You have supported me, shown me kindness, appreciated the struggle to give & share my art and for that I'm really really grateful, it means a lot <3 This place has become this little archive, little world where I can share my art and I really enjoy it <3
Your comments make me smile, your feedback is always helpful, thank you, thank you so much for everything, for you being you and for stepping forward into 2023 with me!
I don't have many goals for the New Year, as for me just surviving feels like enough, but I hope to continue drawing, to love my own art, draw more Endhawks/Hawks and maybe even branch off and start drawing other things again (OCs, original art etc!)
Thank you for the journey of 2022, while I won't miss the year that tested me to the limits, I look forward to the fresh start that is 2023 with you all!
