A heartfelt Thank You and a little rant... (Patreon)

I want to start off by thanking all of you who have supported my work so far. It really means a lot to me. This whole project and everyone I have met in this community have changed my life for the better and I owe you guys a lot. A few of you I even owe my life to. I'm going to be open for a minute, and I apologize if it makes anyone uncomfortable. Over the last year and half or so I was in a very dark place. My mental state was the worst it had ever been. For the first time in my life... I thought about ending it. But then I found the art of a creator, Olga AI Art. I loved it so much and I wanted to see more of that artist's work. I found Patreon and joined her community on Discord. Long story short, the people I met there helped a lot to pull me from the darkness I was wallowing in. I know it might sound pathetic to some. But it became something that really helped me with my depression that had been growing. Then I found a creator, Minokai. They created a program to help people learn to generate ai art. It became a creative outlet for me and is the reason I was able to create this page and express myself. I was beginning to notice my depression dissappear. I can feel myself slipping back lately though. But you guys interacting and enjoying my work has helped a lot! I know this is probably some pretty heavy stuff, seemingly coming out of nowhere. But I learned that trying to keep these feelings bottled up is what caused me to fall into a deep depression the first time. Having said all that, I want you guys to know that I am fine. I am much more aware of my mental state and what I need to do to keep my depression from taking over. I also want to take the chance to thank my sister. Without her I dont know where I would be. She has always been my best friend and supportive base. The Roll set was dedicated to her. Also my dog, Luca. She is the light of my life and an endless source of happiness!

If you made it through the wall of text, thank you again. It means a lot that you took the time to read it. I just know I'll be better off getting it off my chest. I woke up not feeling my best mentally so felt the need to talk about it. Sorry if this is a rambling mess, I didn't really plan this out, just typing as I think about it. All of this to say, you guys and this community saved me, at the moment im not feeling my best mentally. That may mean the newest sets may be delayed a bit as I work through this. It honestly does help a lot working on these sets for you guys, but I noticed lately I've been feeling physical symptoms from my depression this time. I haven't been sleeping well and as such am very tired. It might be longer before the next set is released because of that mostly. Im sorry... I am probably not making any sense. I'll stop rambling now. Just know you guys are helping me a lot and I appreciate it. Thank you and take care!
