Weekly Update - 204 - 2/5/24 (Patreon)

Wait, what? Kiera?! What are you doing here?!!!

Well, I guess now it's time for the big question...

Will there be a comic this week?

Yes! It's not as far along as I'd like it to be. Honestly, I struggled with whether or not I should include it and I thought about scrapping it several times, but yes, there'll be a comic this week.

And now for a slightly less big question:

Do I know what I'm doing?

Nope! Never have!

Playing: IDK, games I guess, something to kill time, nothing specific in particular.

Drawing: Page 185

Volume #1 status? No idea. And maybe that's part of what's causing me to feel icky of late.

Ramble:

*Spent hours typing up a huge ramble. Deleted the whole thing because it was icky*

Those of you who have followed me long enough might recognize that I ramble a lot more when I'm not feeling the greatest. It's often my way of self brain-cleansing, I guess. Putting the abstract thoughts that are bringing me down into words that are easier to parse and ultimately dismiss. That said, whenever I actually POST a ramble I like to stay on the hopeful and positive side of things as much as I can, because I don't want to drag everyone else down. At the end of the day, there are some simple truths: I'm fine, things are fine, and I often just need to detach myself from all the emotional bullshit that so happens to be filling my head at this specific moment and realize that none of what's bothering me ACTUALLY matters, which is usually true. Emotions can sometimes be the worst part of being alive, causing us to overemphasize things that are ultimately less important than they may feel in any block of time. Emotions can also sometimes be the best part of being alive, because they can cause us to put more emphasis on things that are ultimately less important than they may feel for any given stretch of time. But sometimes emotions are the worst part. But also sometimes, they're the best part.

Anyway, don't mind me. Thank you for reading, thank you for being here, and thank you for validating the things I try to do. At the end of the day, you guys outnumber my icky brain 37 to 1. So whenever I'm feeling down, your support helps me know that I am wrong. So thank you, with all of my heart.
