Update and maybe a small announcement
🕑 Added 2020-06-30 21:37:13 +0000 UTCHi! Are you breathing fine??
This is a little update- I've been pretty much living the same day for the past two weeks again and it hasn't been fun at all. Everyday I hope to do better tomorrow and then tomorrow and then tomorrow. But today I decided to treat the present as the tomorrow I keep counting on and finally drew something. I hadn't been drawing anything, let alone comics.
Social media has been getting too taxing to me and I can't help but feel guilty and bad about having a platform but not making use of it because I can't find the energy to. It's the constant feeling of not doing enough for myself or for the world. Sigh. I'm exhausted. I want to take a few weeks maybe even months off of instagram. I don't know how I'll be able stay afloat financially if I'm absent from the source of my source of income. But let's find out I guess. I'm really trying to put my mental health first. Maybe I'll do some posts here and there to remind people that I exist on Instagram. I want to make and share things without having to worry about how it'll be received and eventually stop caring too much about the reception of my work and focus more on the process and how much I care about making it.
There's so many other stories i want to tell but i feel forced to make enough of my current comics to set aside while i work on the stories i've been wanting to tell for so long. I do enjoy making Adi comics. She's the face of goodbadcomics and i like it that way. (if you didnt already know, my short hairy bald blue tshirt wearing character is called Adi hehe) But I have a few stories living in my head that i want to share with the world. I recently realized that i've wasted a lot of time thinking about WHEN i should get to work and just waiting and waiting when i could have been working on the stories i want to tell. By thinking so much, i've achieved neither. I dont want to make myself feel even worse about lost time so im trying to focus on the fact that i've realized that ive wasted time so i will try no to do that again even though it might happen again.
I've been doing the dishes, laundry, cooking and sweeping and it takes up most of my energy and at the end of the day I'm left feeling like I haven't accomplished anything.
Anyway, i had been thinking about this for a while and I want to slowly start going off instagram for my break starting July. I don't wanna go cold turkey.
I'm working on an exciting project right now, I don't know if I've mentioned it already haha but I can't share anything just yet! So wait for it!
I'll be doing a sketchbook tour one page a day starting tomorrow!
Also, Patreon has introduced a new tax cut off thing. You may have got an email from Patreon or will get one soon. But I've done my best to cut down taxes on the pledges by following a video the CEO of Patreon shared.
Thank you for your support. It means so much. :)
