Happy new year 2023 (Patreon)

Good evening and good morning to everyone,
First off I want to apologize for the low output I did here during 2022, the year has been tough, not so much physically (even if I seem to suffer from a weird tiredness for quite a while now) but even more so mentally, be it the situation in the world (a war is just 700km from here), a homophopic, racistic and ideologic mass of people I once called friends, especially around the former work place, etc, its just tiring me to a point I dont even feel like having the energy for gaming or watching TV, I just want to hide away sometimes to try to forget about all the things out there.
It's weird I know, and I really got to do something against that, and maybe the new year will help.
After quitting the job for the above reasons (boss being racistic, homophobic, micro-agressions in masses and the constant fear of sudden choleric outbursts, often based on stuff like that or unforeseen circumstances that go unplanned, a former best friend (also my former boss' son) just kicked me off when he found out I got vaccinated against covid and a few other stupid reasons caused me to ask myself what sense 26 years of friendship made if I can be replaced that easily, so I made a big cut on that and try to live off of art only.
It felt weird to be free again, weird to imagine me being my own boss (whiich I suck at for now XD) but I feel like something heavy fell off my chest, no more fear of being judged for who or what I am and what I do for whatever reasons, no more need to try to be liked by people who think are great while they are just riding on their inflated ego, no more fear of dissapointing people who did nothing but dissapoint me at the end.
So lets give this all a fresh start, a fresh year with new goals and new hope.
The damages of 2022 will last for a while, the world wont turn more peaceful within some weeks or months, but we never gotta lose hope and remain strong, stay together and keep going, especially for me trying to be more productive again as I miss the joy I bring to my fans and supporters with new art, to create art, the scent of my markers and the paper.
Thank you all for your support, be it financial or emotional, its all helping me to stay mentally and physically alive.
And even if stuff gets more expensive, I do not plan to rise my pledge prices yet, I will keep it at the current level it is for as long as I can handle it. <3
Happy new year 2023 to everyone. <3
