Hello my dear friends and followers! I’m currently en route back home. This vacation was the best in my life so far and I have gathered a lot think about when it comes to going on with my life. These future plans will affect a lot of life’s aspects, including my communications and art.
Upcoming changes:
• Telegram channel goes abandoned: Unfortunately, during almost 4 years of it’s existence, I couldn’t manage to give it a momentum: I never came up even to 30 subscribers, and number just steadily declined, so I stopped posting there in January. • BlueSky goes frozen: Despite having an account there, my core audience still remains on Twitter. Fairly few follow me on BS, and since I keep forgetting about PostyBirb, I don’t post there. I won’t scrap BS just yet, as anything could happen with Mr. Clown Muskypants doing everything in his power to slowly and painfully kill Twitter. ◦ My other venues (Twitter, Inkbunny, Itaku and Discord gallery) will continue as usual. • I’m going monk mode: Starting July, I’ll slowly go from being constantly available in messengers to having “chat windows” in my daily schedule, where I catch up with communications. I’ll also quit procrastination-scrolling. This is done in order to increase productivity and allow more me-time. Unfortunately I’m just not a kid anymore (even if I consider myself a kidult). Responsibilities just catch up to me and I need to grow in order to face new challenges. ◦ As a part of this, I also want to mention that since few years back, I no longer scroll live feeds on e.g. Twitter, as my hyper-empathy really ruins my day if I see someone being troubled, sad or having bad day in general. I’m sorry about that and I’ll try to work on suppressing my overly-emotional states and not let them ruin my days. But until then, I have to avoid unnecessary sadness. ◦ My availability in June and August will also be affected by FFXIV Dawntrail. • Commissions will remain in semi-closed state (Ask me if I’m available, might make a room for ya if I like the idea!) • Art trades will always be OPEN! If you’re an artist, feel free to approach me with your request! • Requests, ego box and all the other stuff will be closed until further notice. • As I try to improve myself, I’ll keep focusing on getting my skills higher and drawing what I like as well as catching up with my massive backlog of sketches.
Now, about my vacation (for those, who’s interested)
My first time in States was amazing. I got to see a bit of Texas, pet turtles, lemurs and stingrays, visit gayest city on the planet and enjoy it’s atmosphere with Japantown, Alcatraz and great public transport that allowed me to go all the way to visit evil itself, aka Google. Or it’s visitor center at least. I also got to see some Hollywood and Santa-Monica, enjoy my best birthday ever in LA and Universal Studios with Nintendo World specifically! I ate tons of my beloved fast food and drank all kinds of Mountain Dew I never tried before. And all of that I enjoyed[code][/code] with my best friend!
BEST. VACATION. EVER!!!
The [[b][/b]b][/b]insights I gathered: * Slower pace is what my life needs. More chill, more me time. In order to make it work, I need to get rid of invasive thoughts and time-related stress. * I need to consider more ways to earn money - passive income would help me save up for eventual magnum opus project, if I’ll ever have any. * Flying isn’t so bad. Honestly, I hated flying before, but now I hate it less. * Night trains are awesome, I really love this way of travelling. * I should limit my vacations to 14-15 day streaks, as I get tired and homesick after * I should keep my tablet handy everytime I… well, do things to decrease level of horny. At least it could help me make more doodles. * I need to invest more into my home and make it a true paradise for myself. * I’m still young, I still have time to accomplish something great. Or just enjoy this life until we all die.
What now?
Well, I’m back to normal again, so time to draw! But also time to get lost in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail, hehe. I also gonna start working at my primary job as soon as I’m back home. I have one more thing until next year - a visit from a friend at the summer’s end. Aside from that - nothing. Room for improvisation and self-improvement, hehe.
I have no idea how I had the kinds of online conversations I had in college and in my twenties! I think I was just really comfortable spending long periods of time bored and doing nothing. I use my time a lot more constructively now, drawing, programming or spending time with friends or playing video games. But I can't really multitask in a chat app while I'm doing any of that stuff because it's too difficult
It's interesting you're deliberately making this kind of change for yourself, but I'll be curious how it works out for you. Glad you had such a nice vacation, and it's good to have you back!
