argentinian NYE! 

OKAY LONG POST IM GONNA GET EMOTIONAL

I know i've said it many times, but it's never stopped being true. I'm so grateful for everything you've done for me. You've formed this community, you've given me the opportunity to live my dream, something I thought I'd never do. I had such a different life before i returned to art, and doing this with you all saved me in so many ways i couldn't explain without oversharing hgtufhjsf. I've had rough months this year, and amazing months. I've created art I love, and created art that I've felt is horrible, but holy shit I've learned so much and you've been there all the way, hyping me up. You're not only creative, funny, feral, trustworthy... You're also genuinely kind people, who have worried about me, waited for me, given me encouraging words and acceptance through all the changes i keep making, for projects I've dropped, for projects I wanna get back to, for projects I still haven't started. I'm so happy I've gathered such an amazing family of people across the world that bring me so much joy and that I can give back to. I'm so lucky, and so thankful. 

When I dropped college to dedicate to art, I never thought I'd get this far. I only knew I wanted to try and fuck I'm so glad I did. I have so much in me yet to create, and I know you also have so much in you you wanna see come to life. I'm honored I get to work with you, that you make my life meaningful and that you care about me. I'm grateful for the friendships I've made, for the people I've talked to, for the couples I know met here, for the ones who left and came back, for the ones who comment and the ones who don't. Fuck, I wish you the very best in this new year.

There's so much I wanna do, and so much I wanna learn so I can make that happen. Hopefully this new year I'll be able to create more stories and STICK TO THEM WITHOUT HURTING MY WRIST efjdasfk I'll do my best to deliver, to stay passionate and ask for help when I need it.

Hopefully 2024 will bring joy, adventures, love, creativity and prosperity for all of us. 

Thank you for everything you are and I hope we stick together another year. I love you all, and happy new year, my lovely patreon family!
