Why am I here again, and why can't I find the door to get out?

 Not gonna lie, out of all the things I expected to do on the last week of 2022, becoming obsessed about an old tv show about bright-coloured spinning ninjas made of lego was not one of them. AND YET, here I am! Doing just that! And I love it hate every second I am stuck in this hole that I jumped in by myself

SO YEAH. That's what I've been doing this week!
ADHD is a magical experience that takes you for a ride, that's for certain.

 I'm just hoping this Ninjago phase doesn't last for 6 months (like the Hamtaro obsession I had earlier this year) but if it does you bet I'm going to make the most of it and try to get as much comic experience out of this as possible!
I've already successfully made a short sketch comic about Zane and Kai within 3 days. That bodes. But honestly, everything is always unpredictable and I'll play it by ear.
Who knows what's going to happen in 2023 after all!

... literally anything, and that scares me. But it always does, so it changes nothing. I'll keep doing my best and take it one day at a time.

I don't have anything much to say, but I can say 2022 was a year that I'm glad happened, despite all the crazy things that I had to live through.
Sure, I didn't make that portfolio that I said I'd try to do at the start of this year (and in all honesty I completed forgot I was meaning to do that XD) but I looked back at all the things I posted on Instagram and I was like "Cool! Look at all this stuff I did! How'd I do any of this??" so that must mean I did good! :3 And I'm content, so what more do I want right now?

And despite my anxiety, I did a lot of new things that I've never done before, AND I survived a few bad spells without giving into the inner darkness and turmoil. So that's cool too!

Anyway! I've got things to do, and only 4 hours until the new year, so I'm going to go and enjoy myself.
I'll see you all next year! I hope all of you guys survived 2022, and may 2023 be full of good things and good people for all of you <3 Take care!

The magic of Sun and Rain

 It's the Eve before Christmas, and yet I am stuck still thinking it's November and feeling like it's October.
What else is new, though?

 Intellectually I am aware it is Christmas Eve, but emotionally? Well, I'm not quite there yet.
Maybe it's because it's been a lovely and cool summer so far, and because it's not hot enough to melt my skin I've been stuck thinking "Oh, it's not Christmas yet. Gotta wait a little bit longer" and it still hasn't happened yet.

And maybe it's because I've been thinking about other things lately. I haven't had any interest in the holiday spirit or even listening to Christmas music. This is fine; Christmas is a state of mind anyway, and once January or February rolls around I'll probably let all my festivities out in then. I'm not bound by any mortal or law to celebrate holidays at the traditional months or weeks.
For now, I'm content with resting and drawing my brain kiddies a little more.

Been drawing Sadness a lot this week because I needed to look after her, but now I feel like I can trust Joy to look after her for me.
It's been a nice, dark and rainy Christmas Eve today. Even if I don't feel any holiday spark, I at least felt these two getting along and working together to create memories I'll cherish (or forget) for next year.
Who knows what's going to happen next year. But at least this year is almost over and I'm still here, so that's a good start.

Still can't believe I drew a little comic about these two last year to be honest XD I don't know how I did that.
But anyway! I hope you guys have happy holidays and I'll see you all again next week to sound off the old year. Hope you're all doing okay too <3

Little Emotions

Behold! Little tiny Emotions, to brighten your day and mine!

 They're small and full of big feelings, and I am here for it

Sweet Sadness

 How're you doing, folks? Having a good day? Yes? No? Maybe?
Well, having a little Sadness in your day is bound to make it better. I know mine did when I drew her! <3

 So if you're not having a good day, accept the inevitability of needing a few minutes of quiet time and let yourself be absorbed by the loving embrace of someone who knows exactly what you're going through right now.
You don't even have to thank her- she does it because she loves you and wants a few minutes of quietness too.

Go to her.
... or don't. You don't have to right now. She'll be there all the same until you need her.
It's all cool. XD

Sitches and Stars

 My head is empty. There is not a thought in my head except of pokemon and anxious wrecks trying to please everyone and having no idea how to do it without having a breakdown.

But there is this thing I drew a few days ago, and I think it's pretty neat! So why not. Let me share with you good folks.

I've been thinking about drawing stitches like constellations for a while. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
You may go about your day again. I shan't disrupt you again until we meet again briefly next week <3
