Ramble: One of the things about grief I'm learning is that it really forces you to reevaluate yourself and your life.

My dog was my everything. Losing him, as well as having to say goodbye to someone who meant just as much to me back to back, it hurts. I didn't let myself feel the grief of either.

Grief is harder to deal with when it's bottled up and you have to do it alone.

The hardest thing was losing my dog this year. Really the only family I ever had. Yet, it showed me who my true friends are. That gives me the power to move forward with a little less fear.

One of my favorite things about Kingdom Hearts is that it's the epitome of being about the journey and not the destination.

I need to replay soon, and draw my favorite pretty man.

The New Division being my top artist this year was truly no surprise. They've gotten me through some pretty hard days.

In 2019 it was Keep Shelly In Athens. It's so nice to feel this way about an artist for the first time again.

I've noticed some people online operate under the belief that one must continuously suffer in order to be considered valid.

Improvement, healing and positivity is seen as a negative trait; You get labeled as over-privileged or vapid, your past struggles and traumas dismissed entirely.

I honestly missed bluesky a lot. I wish I never deactivated my original account, but this year has just been having to rebuild and redefine me.

Here's a painting I made earlier in the year when I started to feel myself slipping away. Its been a dark year for me.

Color has always been my favorite aspect of art. I never liked acrylic paint, but I decided to give it a shot. This will be a Christmas gift to my brother.

These are some of the candles I've made recently, and honestly, they're beautiful.

I'm so happy I picked this hobby up and kept up with it. I remember making hand dipped candles as a wee tween. This takes me back to then.

I must say, I'm a natural. I'm excited to make more. 🥹🩷
