so! monthly news post! we're doing this, i didn't forget, just got extremely busy!!!! quite a bit happened this month and most of it is not art related at all so i'll try to make it short (key word "try"), but first, i got an idea to start every one of these with a song or something, just to have some fun with it and set the mood or whatever y'know, maybe you'll like a few, or completely hate my tastes :) enjoy!

i'll start by saying i pretty much got no new illustrations finished since april 1st. remember how in last month's news post i was all like oh yeah i've been making an effort to post recently idk if you've noticed and i'll be doing this and that this year and whatever, WELL immediately after that i went back into school and in that same week i got my first job! so not a bad reason to slow down with everything a bit :P so far it's been pretty demanding and time consuming but really really gratifying if i'm honest. it's been a tiny bit hard adjusting to this change of lifestyle though, like, going from not doing anything for all of last year to now studying and working all of a sudden, it's kind of a big jump! but god, if i'm not fucking excited for life right now, i'm genuinely so pumped to be like, DOING THINGS outside of art, i feel like an actual adult haha, and i love moving around and being active and like troubleshooting at work and whatever, plus my peers at school are all people older than me so it's a super relaxed and focused learning environment. it is kind of a shame i'm having such trouble finding time for art right now, but i'm sure i'll have an easier time managing everything as the year goes on, i'll have to, i'm not giving up on anything just cus of this unexpected yet welcomed change of plans, that's life! and i'm ready to take on anything!!

that said..! i um do need to dial it back a bit i think, i've been made aware i can get a bit intense when it comes to "taking on anything" aaahaha so y'know, i'll be doing stuff, but the smart and healthy way so i don't burn out and die or something :) i'm sure my heart will appreciate it so i'll keep that in mind! also i haven't gotten my eyes checked yet but it seems i gotta wear glasses to some capacity too as much as i don't want to admit it haha, i'll see how that goes. get it?

in other news, this account turned what, like 5 years old yesterday? that's kinda neat! i would say it feels like it wasn't that long ago but honestly 2018 feels like it was three lifetimes ago for me. as an omnipotent being this may be hard to comprehend for some of you, so i understand if you are confused as to what i mean by this. anyway i don't have much to say about this except i still have those old art pieces up and i'm happy with how much better my current art is and how much cooler i am as a person nowadays, it's been a butterly smooth succesful journey with absolutely zero mistakes made along the way and i'm pretty close to being the pinnacle of human evolution rn basically so yeah once i reach the very top there'll be nothing left and i'll be completely unstoppable. that's all though, see ya! :D
