Well, I was supposed to write this about two weeks ago, but here we are — last minute as always.
These days have been tough for everyone. I see what others are going through and the struggles they face, and in a way, I’m glad I’ve managed to get by on my own. But lately, that’s been getting harder because of some problems where I live. It’s just become impossible for me to stay here, so I’ll be moving in with my grandparents outside the city. It has its downsides, but it’s not a bad thing.
What really worries me is being away from the city, since I used to live off small jobs here and there, helped a lot by art commissions. It’s a setup that’s allowed me to live — maybe a bit tight sometimes and without luxuries — but I liked it because no one was bothering or pressuring me.
Now suddenly, my whole family’s been pushing hard for me to get a “normal job.” They were even about to send out résumés behind my back, if not for the fact that the file got lost on the office computer.
And I mean… I get it. A stable income would be nice, but what really bothers me is how everyone turned on that idea all at once, without warning. It feels like they’d been waiting years for the smallest excuse to dismiss my way of living and my work.
Classic — a couple of years of steady progress and daily effort, and of course, it all gets tossed aside over one bad month. Because, you know, clearly it’s not working.
I mean, I repair computers, help people with paperwork, know some electronics, transcribe and write documents, help with construction, carpentry, metalwork, or even electrical work, and more. The fact that there hasn’t been much work in any of that for a month isn’t because I don’t have a “stable job.” It’s because things are hard for everyone right now…
Anyway, I’m getting off track.
If you’ve read this far — sorry about the rant. I just wanted to explain a bit of the reason behind things.
The main point of this journal is simply to say:
It’s possible that I might post less often for a while.
I’ll be posting as many YCHs and commission announcements as I can.
I have several projects I’m not totally happy with, but I’d rather put them out there anyway — better to try than regret not doing it later.
So if it looks like I’m just spamming or vanish for a while, it’s probably because I haven’t found a good place to draw yet where I’m moving, and I’ll be looking for one.
And even if I do, I’ll still need to turn it into a place that feels like home.
