Spontaneous Stream, Right Now!! (Ended) (Patreon)

Felt a sudden urge to draw tonight, and I'm jumping on it before the feeling goes away. Like jumping into a freezing lake before your shivering brain talks you out of it. Going live in a few minutes, come join me!

Wall of Text about life so far:

I'm sorry to have been silent for so long, been spending this year learning how to better manage my depression and anxiety. I've always tried to be transparent about what's been going on in my personal life when it would affect FE updates, and it is important for art communities to talk more openly about our struggles with mental health. But I wasn't ready to talk about this on the internet. Or even BE on the internet, for some months. I'm still not ready for in-depth conversations about mental health online, but I am ready to start being online more regularly. I'll be posting plans for the future of this Patreon account and FE, but tonight I want to listen to music, chat with you guys and work on FE. 

Thanks for all of your kind messages and support. I'm sorry I couldn't respond to everyone, but I have read them all. It's meant a lot to know you were thinking of me and missed FE updates. I've still got work to do to have a clean bill of Brain Health, but for now I'm finally starting to see how much progress I've made. I am so grateful I'm still here. Grateful you're still here. Grateful we can enjoy creating art together.  

EDIT: Wow.  That was good medicine, guys - thank you again.
