Hey, I owe you all an update (Patreon)

Hey everyone…I know it’s been ages. I didn’t mean to vanish like that; I just got swallowed by life for a while.

Work became a mess, a relationship fell apart, renting turned into pure stress, and I was trying to finish my degree at the same time. Then I lost both of my grandparents not long apart. It honestly broke me in ways I didn’t expect. I kept trying to stay strong and move forward, but every time I tried to do something different, life seemed to revolt and pull me back with all sorts of crap, like it just wouldn’t let me breathe or change.

At some point I just ran out of energy. I stopped posting, stopped drawing, stopped opening my files because seeing them made me feel guilty and tired. I thought maybe everyone had already moved on. But every now and then, I’d still get a comment, or a favourite, or someone re-reading my old work, and it reminded me that there were still people out there who cared, even quietly. That meant so much more than I can explain.

I’m doing a bit better now. Still tired, still figuring things out, but better. I’ve been writing and sketching again, slowly falling back in love with what I make. The Amazon War Saga is coming back. It feels like I’m finally breathing again, and maybe that’s enough for now.

Thank you for being patient with me. For not forgetting me.Even the silent support mattered more than you think.
