Man, 2025 is already starting to come to a close in just one more month.
This year started out horrible, with me getting my Etsy account shut down with all my appeals ignored. That was a major blow to my business that I never recovered from. Despite moving to Ebay, my sales that were becoming a steady stream have since halted to practically nothing. I still been hard at work on my art, which is the only thing that seems to keep me sane. Still been off work, and still dealing with mental issues from it, along with an uncertain future. At times I feel like a little kid in a big world, who doesn't know how to navigate himself. I often envy those who are able to travel to cons and are able to make a profit off of their work, since I can't afford to make that kind of investment since the costs rack up so quickly that I'd lose out on any money I'd hope to make.
Had a falling out with a close friend earlier in the year that really tore me up. It was over a heated argument where emotions were running high, and I was essentially cut out of his life. It's nothing I can salvage, except to honour the space he wants. Therapy hasn't really been doing much for me. Been looking to find a better job to transition to, but can't find much in my skill range without an overhaul in my math and science knowledge. Every day I feel a burden on still living with my parents, and feeling like a colossal fuck up. I know I can be hard on myself and that I do have some victories under my belt when it comes to my art, and some good will among people online.
I hope that when 2026 comes along I gain better opportunities to grow.
