Hey everyone!
We've got a bit of a change of plans for this month...

I am...absolutely drained creatively :'D I left an INCREDIBLY emotionally exhausting week behind me and I'm in a state I've never known before: I don't feel ANY spark of motivation or inspiration for any of my current projects. The dubbing project is currently weighing me down and my books just depress me as yet another big book fair has been cancelled and I have once again to wait things out for a chance to get into contact with bigger publishers.

It's also not very helpful how sOMe certain rELatIVes keep pressuring and blaming me for not having achieved big things yet, acting as if we're not still in a pandemic and as if I haven't been very limited in the actions I could take during the past couple of months...(*angry El-noises...*)

I had some really good talks with close friends though, it's clear to me that I just need a break, that is all. A REAL break. Pushing everything aside, reflecting on myself, finding new solutions and approaches by allowing myself to just BE for a while. So maybe I'll go on a short vacation by the end of March/beginnng of April, we found some very well-priced last-minute offers we could take. I'll let you all know if I should be off for a week.

All this being said, this doesn't particular mean there won't be any content on here for a longer time, since drawing still brings me joy! I'll just...doodle more. Draw simple things plainly for fun, whatever I feel like, and nothing more than that. And everything BIG will be on pause for now. I really enjoy doodling fakemons right now for example...

Don't worry about my mental state by the way, I am actually quite happy about taking a step back and giving myself time to recover :'D I just wanted to let you all know what I'm dealing with and that I need to slow down for a bit with everything big I've been trying to finish. 

I've always had troubles with putting my mind at ease, convincing myself that it's okay for me to take a break. I think this is the first time that I'm *so* tired that I don't have any sort of resistance left in me. I know I'm going to be okay and I'm ready to purely focus on my well-being right now, whatever it is I might need.

Thank you for reading and for your generous support! 😌
And if I get HIT with the urge to doodle on stream between my breaks, I'll let you all know in time on the server! 💖🥰
