THERE'S SO MUCH TO UPDATE YOU ALL ON!
First and foremost, I have finally found and moved into an appropriate and permanent home for me and the fur babies. We moved-in early January and it's been tough resettling although we are super happy to be here.
Although I had been keeping an eye-out since the fire, this particular place caught me by surprise and I wasn't really prepared to move-in somewhere without my roommate. I felt bad ditching my roommate although I needed the space and this place was perfect in so many ways, so I offered to continue paying rent at my old apartment for 2 months more than I was required to so she wouldn't think I was an asshole and also so she had time to figure-out what she wanted to do.
Paying rent for 2 places the last 2 months has sucked, big-time. I've been picking up extra shifts in order to afford it and, because I am super impatient, to afford furnishing it bit by bit. Tomorrow, I will finally have a couch! Every day this place becomes more and more my home. Totally worth all the work!
I'm also getting back into the creating groove. I've actually been doing a lot of paid shoots as a photographer! They're mostly for dancers or acquaintances for their own person use so I will not be posting them here, but it still feels really good to have my creative work sought-out and valued in various ways.
To celebrate my new place, two of very closest friends came to visit me in the last 2 weeks. Hydro, the closest thing I have to a mother-figure, came to visit me for Valentines and her 56th birthday. Right after Hydro left, Justine Marie came to see me from New York. I missed being with her 24/7 so badly. Justine just fits me really well; it's easier to be my truest self around her. We did one shoot together while she was here and hopefully I can post that soon.
March is around the corner and it terrifies me because catastrophically bad things tend to always happen to me in the month of March. Confidentially, it also happens to be my mother's birth month and we all know how I feel about her. In March past, I had a roommate/good friend commit suicide, found out my partner had been lying to me and having unprotected sex with everything that moved for an entire year, got laid-off and evicted in the same week, had my own serious suicide attempt that took weeks to recover from, and, more recently, had my home burn down and all my belongings destroyed. Seriously, the ides of March got it for me bad.
Despite the ides of March, I'm trying to be optimistic because it'll be the first month I won't be paying double rent and, thus, I'll have a lot more time and money at my disposal. I'll definitely be spending more time making art and skating. I will also be meeting up with both my brothers and nephew in California for a few days which will be really nice. I'm going to try to fit in a shoot or two in the Bay Area while I'm there.
I did treat myself to one little gift during all this; I bought a plane ticket to go to Thailand with my friends Niki and Catherine in April. This will be the first time I've been to Asia and I am beyond excited for it. We'll be staying 7 days in a yoga and muay thai temple and celebrating Songkran, the Thai New Year which is basically a giant water fight that washes away your sins and bad luck. I'm going to come back an absolved bad-ass with some fucking fantastic photos.
As some of you may have already noticed, I started an OnlyFans. Patreon will continue to be my main focus and will include ALL my work. OnlyFans is more centered around providing content for people merely interested in my appearance. OnlyFans is basically all the same content of me solely that is available to $10 Patrons here with the option to buy explicit content individually at a higher price. None of my photography is there nor are full photosets. I figure it doesn't hurt to have extra sources of income and I know some patrons don't want all the extra stuff, they just want jerk-off material and that's totally cool, too. Nonetheless, creativity is the thing I care most about and always will be and Patreon fits a lot better for that.
As for this Patreon, I'm going to re-evaluate and condense the reward tiers a bit better to fit my work-flow and to be in-line with the price points set on OnlyFans.
Anyway, that's all I can think of right now to update you all on. I hope you are well and I thank you for being here with me!
