Where I’ve Been
One day a community/fanbase update from me doesn't start with "So I know it's been awhile" or "Here's all the reasons I'm not around" after x-amount of time that has been nothing but radio silence...
Unfortunately this isn't any different and this time I'm not here with excuses.
We can at least confirm now that I'm not dead or get taken by any global illness or events.
The short version of the story of life on my end---a lot has happened. I'm in the tail end of things now but still have to work hard for awhile longer. You don't have to continue reading from this point on if you're not that interested. *laughs
...The longer story?
I was broke after college and dealing with a life-long toxic situation that I was only recently able to get myself away from this year. Nothing has been easy. Getting this far hasn't been easy in the slightest. Especially when you've been whittled and broken down on a spiritual level for years while still trying to succeed. It was something I kept to myself and tried to just deal and cope with while working myself into the ground trying to get somewhere...and in the end find that it earned you nothing. At the cost of content creation and general presence/availability, what little friendships I had in life...and my health. I was still in the same situation and just treated like a smear on the pavement despite my accomplishments. I was unhappy, frustrated, and just couldn't take my circumstances anymore. I needed something to change.
After over a year, I succeeded.
So what have I been doing lately? Geez, where do I start... I started a brand new career path. I took a plunge into something new with nothing to lose and it snowballed with luck from there. I'm... I became a pharmacy technician amidst the pandemic (so much for those two design degrees), have my own place with my partner, and able to make a living finally. However, on the flip-side, a lot of my time has been dedicated to work. Even more recently? Now that everything is peaceful for me at last my life is once again consumed by study *laughs. Here I thought I was done with education stuff but I guess not. I'm hoping that will change in later months when I finish up with what I need to do. Everything is on hold until then.
However, for once and probably the first time I can say this...... I'm okay. And I'm going to be okay.
I miss you all.
And you'll hear from me again in the future.
Thank you all for your time and support through the years
