haha i suck at making art regularly and i suck even more at posting what i make.
my art skills have suffered a lot over the last few years in which i haven't been drawing actively. but i can't get myself to draw (or do anything else) because crippling dysphoria, depression, anxiety and other stuff has been keeping me lethargic and demotivated 24/7, despite that i'm taking medication to help treat it. writing this journal is the result of a rare fleck of energy.
the only things i have the strength for nowadays are sleeping, sometimes getting out of bed, listening to music and reading about things that interest me on the internet. goddamn, i just recently turned 20 and yet physically i feel like i'm at least 80. i'm a young guy, supposedly "at the best and strongest age", but what the hell.
not sure i'll be making any more art soon, or ever. maybe the occasional doodle but that's it. if i miraculously get better (which isn't so hopeful), i might start drawing again, but seeing how much i suck at it now compared to what i could do 3-4 years ago is discouraging.
just wanted to update y'all on my situation and clarify why i'm not posting as much anymore.
thanks for the happy birthday wishes, thanks for caring about why i've been gone, etc etc it's really nice of you. <3
