New Beginnings

One final piece for 2023, featuring Muriel and her lil pet phoenix (before it’s fully grown and starting it’s death/life cycle ;D

This year definitely went by faster than anticipated, and had plenty of ups and downs for me along the way~

Ups:
I made the decision to finally pull life support on Genesis Dissentire and Galactic Patrol, and use certain things from the respective stories to fit into the stories that’ll be taking place in the Sci Fi WIP, which I haven’t forgotten! It’s just that I’d like to get back into my first love of comicking for a bit, so I’m setting the Wip aside for a while to work on Knightsbridge Hollow and–hopefully–finish it within 2024!
I took a massive step back from fan characters this year to focus on original stuff, and I think my social media presences suffered a lot from that LOL
I got into candle making! It’s actually very relaxing and very fun, and I’m hoping to add some onto my Etsy this upcoming year!

Downs:
I’ve been feeling increasingly more useless when it comes to the 50+ job applications I’ve thrown out this year (and only a handful of interviews I got out of them), and friendships, as I’ve gone through being the friend who gets left in the dust yet again. I can’t help but feel like something is Wrong with me, and that I’ll have to be satisfied being satisfied with my job, and being the obnoxious person who can’t read the room and gets ghosted until I learn my lesson.
Depression’s been Real this year. I’ve just been floundering around, clawing my way to the surface from depression cycles, only to fall back under again and force myself to get through the day when the only thing I wanna do is curl up into a ball and die lol

Prayers for being happy with my circumstances, a new job on the horizon with better pay/hours, and not letting social media and stuff get me down would be appreciated!

If you made it this far, BLESS.
