Watercolours & digital art. (Don't use or reupload my work, thank you!)Hey there my good beans! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying the last days of April. It's raining here today, but I quite like listening to the sound of raindrops on my roof. How is the weather treating you?
I would like to address my sudden absence! I'm feeling overwhelmed by a lot of stuff at the moment and it's making it much harder for me to interact.
It really hit me yesterday while I was silently browsing my socials. As a chronically ill person who's always been terrible at socialising, I'm at a heavy disadvantage when making art and existing in a social space.
Because of this, it's not uncommon for me to feel woefully inadequate, and get stuck on a piece because of both physical and emotional reasons. I also tend to retreat to the shadows when I have nothing new to share. It might sound silly, but without my art, I don't really have an excuse to engage with other people. 
I'm still working, of course! At a snail's pace. Just trying to stay afloat, most days. It's a cycle, so I know I'll come back around eventually. Don't give up on me just yet! I'll be posting an older piece soon to make up for my silence.
Have the very best day you can possibly have, and stay safe!Apr 30, 2021

I can really relate to this, it's so difficult to interact sometimes when everything goes so fast around 
Hope you feel better soon! Take all the time needed
