Soooo My birthday is at the end of this chilly month, January 30th, and normally I don't hold high hopes for it. it's after christmas so most ppl dont have time to take off and do anything with me or they get sick due to flue season, and lets not forget the infamous ice and snow storms that like to blizzard by and lock us all inside for a few days, so yeah, unfortunately I get a bit of seasonal depression (Dont we all lol)
However, this go around was particularly hard. it Started near Chistmas, I lost my job as a dog groomer due to mental health conflicts and lack of tranportation. then my hubby and I lost our home due to flooding. they found black mold in teh walls as well so we cannot go back. Don't worry! we do have support from family and have a place to stay for now until the government can accept our case and help us with housing some how. Im looking into at-home online jobs to lessen transportaion costs and things are starting to look up now that we have the right help, but i gotta say, it is fairly disheartening. I wish that was all taht was going on, but thats just the current event *sigh*
So what does this mean for my art? my art is passion based and it is hard for me to force it. I am getting better at cultivating it and working around my depression. I fight it every day, but it is not a life-threat to me at all. I am still going to offer commissions as I can and do turn over speed as fast as I can. I will aslo be cranking out art for myself, since doodling and such and story telling is very theraputic for me :)
overall, I am proud of myself and my hubby for our resilence in all this. yes it is hard, but we have each other and family and friends to help us through, and all of you are so supportive, I tend to cry happy tears whenever I get any kind of support from any of you! Thank you all for being so very understanding!!
That being said, I am very involved with mental health awareness and wonder; would yall like it if I did small commic bits of helpful uplifting things Ive learnt in my mental health journey? its a little more serious and Im a bit on the fence about it, but I think I may try it out some time soon.
Thank you all once more!

I'm sorry you are going through all that, I also have a winter birthday and this year was especially hard for me as well, depression and all. I also suffer from mental health issues. I spent my Birthday and Christmas alone basically, I also lost my job the other day so I feel that one. I'm glad you have a supportive husband to help you through it. I like your art, was thinking on adding you to my next round of commissions, yet I think I need to make sure I find another job first. Personally I would like the uplifting comics, I would enjoy reading them. I'll stop this before it becomes a novel lol
Thank you so very much!! And I am honored you reached out :) it's nice to find people that feel similarly, even if it's seasonal depression with winter birthdays lol 😂 whenever ur ready, I've got ya on that comm :)
I'm so sorry this all happening so close to your birthday boss. I'm happy both you and hubby and all the four legged are safe. If you ever just wanna chat I'm totally down. I'd love to see more comics from ya.
