I'm still struggling to motivate myself to draw. This picture took an unreasonable amount of time to finish, and I'm not happy with it, but still wanted to post something. If nothing else to tell you all I'm still alive.

As someone that has connected what little self worth they have to their drawing output, being unable to draw has left me feeling rather depressed and unneeded.

Even as I type this, I wonder if it's at all useful, but I hope it is.

I can't recall if I've told this story before. If it sound familiar, feel free to stop reading.

Back in 2023 my wife and I went to Iceland. It's a beautiful place that's cold and wet, the sort of weather we both enjoy. We'd gone on a tour, were we saw the sprawling beauty of the land, and got repeatedly spat on with hail.

Towards the end of the tour we reach Thingvellir. It's a cliff side, and the tour bus stops at the base of the cliff. After a long day of walking, I was aching all over. Each step hurt, my pace continued to slow, and I wasn't sure if I could keep going.

However, I wanted to see the view from the top of the cliff. So despite everything, I took each painful step, one after another until I was standing at the top.

The view was well worth the pain.

I know we all have our struggles, I'm still fighting mine, but I want everyone to know that the view is worth it.

Continue to look after yourself, and others.
