I'm purging this account of vent/negative posts; this is not how I want to present myself to the world. I'm still going to talk about my mental health struggles, but only in ways that benefit me and others. Endless self hate will get me nowhere.
I'm starting over again 💖 Love y'all 💚

DM Dokuro fanart WIP
Their music has been helping me a lot lately (especially STILL HERE) so I figurer I'd draw their OC, although I'm not sure they use this design anymore. Probably the most interesting hairstyle I've ever drawn 😊
Will finish it this week probs

Only 19 more days left in the eye of the storm. Hopefully we can all survive what's to come

What if something good happened? That would be very cool. If anything good happens within the next 3 weeks, im going to do another 24 hour stream in July.

Demo album coming soon. It's basically an album of all the half-baked songs that I can't finish yet for one reason or another — be it knowledge or lack of singing voice.
Hopefully I'll have enough finished songs for a proper album by the end of the year, but I at least wanted to do something

Been listening to "STILL HERE" by DM Dokuro a lot lately. It resonates a lot with me, and it's one of the reasons I'm still here in my current capacity (it's complicated). Thank you Dokuro —💜
It's important enough that we would like to cover it some day. Already learned the melody on piano.

Staying positive is hard when things keep getting worse every day, and I've definitely slipped up a few times. I'm mostly trying to keep my negativity to myself these days, and I do think it's made me happier.

The future is so uncertain. It could be really good, it could be really bad. The next month will determine if we're in heaven or hell. And the worst part is there's nothing that I can do about it but hope. And somehow, I still haven't lost hope. I don't think I ever will.

Food insecurity is not fun :c Don't worry too much, we have food for now; we just can't afford easy meals anymore, and I've had trouble cooking due to fatigue & pain.
I lost around 15 lbs over the last month (very bad for me), and that was kind of a wake up call that I need to try harder.

Working on drawing the iconic Azula scene as practice 💖
I kinda know what I'm doing with the top half, but the bottom half is kind of a mess 😞

Trump's stupid tarrifs may have just ruined any chance of us getting a house...
We've got 1.5 months to find a new income source and a new place to live, the odds aren't looking great
Thankfully, I have a lot of family that would likely take us in, so we do have safety nets at least.

Me: I'm gonna try to be more positive
The World: You sure about that? *throws a million gut punches all at once, and a stab wound for good measure*
Despite everything, I'm not going back on that promise. Things are hard, but we'll get through it. Even the worst case scenario has good in it

Here's a Pepsiman arrangement I just sorta made for fun in the lead up to my birthday stream 💖 I learned a lot making it, and it was a ton of fun, although it's just a demo. I'll polish it up and put it on my stream OST album as a bonus track in the near future. #music #pepsiman

The thought of streaming today is filling me with dread... It's been so long since I've been live and I think I've developed a small fear of streaming
Still gonna try to do it anyway since it almost always helps in the end

I have a serious problem with overworking myself, and my projects ballooning to overwhelming monstrosities. I don't know how to set realistic expectations for myself...
I guess this is what happens when you get called lazy your whole life 😔

I hate almost every post I've made on this account 😣 I've been so stupid and pessimistic (not without good reason, but still) — 💚

Ah, fuck it. Things are looking up, and I can't fight my surging optimism anymore. If it hurts me more in the end, then so be it.
The dream of last summer is looking far less distant... And even if it doesn't look quite the same, I'll be happy with any version of that dream.

There's no worse feeling than being so paralyzed by fear that you fail to help someone... I'll remember that moment forever. I forgot what true fear felt like. Even if I was doing my best, my best wasn't anywhere near enough...

One unfortunate thing about being poly is I still might actually have to confess first one day 😨 More likely though, I'll just hide and suppress my feelings to the point that the other person will think we have no romantic interest and move on. It's happened many times.

I just realized that I've gotten used to being in pain all the time and I've forgotten what it's like to not be in pain... If I didn't have that constant debuff, I might actually be able to make stuff
