Happy Holidays! Happy New Year!Whoa, suddenly we're at the end of 2022! The moment I started this journey felt like yesterday, but apparently we have been doing this for a year now HAHA-This all still feels like a dream to me... Several years ago I would not think of doing something like this! But recently I've been thinking, maybe this is what I have wanted to do all along? Either way, I just do it anyway and here we are today!-I always loved art and creative works. Several years ago I worked as an illustrator for the industry. At that time, I think it's a very cool thing! Well, I still do think that way today, but after working for some time ... I feel like I'm stuck and stopped growing, be it as an artist or as a person. I often feel like I'm just like a pencil that is only used until the tip is dull and never sharpened again. There are some other factors as well but I don't really wanna point fingers hahaha~-With newfound freedom after quitting the job, I tried many new things! Oh man, it's such a joy to be able to experience, learn stuffs and meet people after years of being numbed down. I can feel my mind is being nourished and my body refreshed. Absolutely amazing feeling!-And of course, just like everything else in this world, all of that requires money. I have some savings from previous work but after a while, I think it's time to whip myself up to earn some again! After the final push by a good friend of mine, Phoebus, I started becoming a creator here~-I think becoming a creator offers a pretty balance terms between creativity, work and income. And so far I'm enjoying it a lot! I know it's only the first year and who knows how this will play out in the future, but I'll do my best and enjoy the adventure~ :D-All in all, I can't thank you enough for giving me a chance. A chance to learn. A chance to grow. A chance to be a better person. And ultimately, a chance to live my life to the fullest. I'm really grateful that there are people like you who appreciated what I do :)-That's all for this month (and year!), I hope you enjoy the contents this month and until next time, as always, stay hydrated Dear Patrons~-JDPR
