This year has kinda been all over the place for me with lots of ups and downs.
Started with a period where if not for my sister's support, looked to be seriously leading to not having a place to live, very quickly.
She also paid for me to go visit her on her studies abroad, twice. Got to really enjoy an actual holiday with both my sisters for the first time in my life.
Seriously cannot thank her enough for helping me through that patch both economically and mentally.
I've gotten ill more times than I can count. I've always been sickly but this year has just been ridiculous. For example I have had covid, a regular cold, and now the flu all in just over a month π We think it's probably cause of the lowered immune system from masking for multiple years and the recent stress and then the cold we've been having here. I've almost definitely been asleep or resting more than being awake this year. In general all aspects of my health have declined and even found new permanent issues which is great.
That's not even mentioning my partner's. He's been unable to use one of his legs properly for a good portion of the year. His back pain is worse and spasms have increased and there's nothing we can do but keep doing tests until they find the issue. It's been a nicely packed year of doctors appointments and various tests π
I've hardly spoken to any friends at all this year, even less than usual which is already basically nothing. I already find it impossible to send consistent messages, and now I've been more tired, stressed, and anxious than I've ever been before and too much of a mess to even begin to organise myself. Though honestly the best and only way will always be actually hanging out in person with me, I doubt I'll ever get the hang of messaging lots π
This whole economic crisis thing sucks reeeaal bad, and it's sucked even more due to being ill so often and missing work, and then pausing Patreon most months cause I haven't been alive long enough to get the art done. I'm honestly scared of losing my job since I've been ill about five times the "standard" time this year and I'm not sure how to prove I'm not just lying. Pay is the same but prices have doubled or tripled. The energy company actually recalculated our bills and we suddenly owed an extra Β£450ish which is a bit ridiculous.
I at least see some very minor improvements in the tiny amount of art I have made this year. But damn do I miss drawing and cannot wait to feel better again π₯²
I'm literally ending the year with a fever, fainting, and blood in my phlegm.... πππ
Well anyway that's enough venting from me. Thank you all for being such amazing people, I really appreciate the little check-ins and kindness all throughout the year. I hope this year is at least slightly better than the last and look forward to being conscious again in the next few days~
