So, it's been half a year since i left a blogpost announcing my frustrations with me and the world, as well as you reading it (and possibly talking to me about it either in the comments or in DMs elsewhere.)

A lot of things have happened since then, mostly negative like losing a couple promising friends one way or another (one of which ended up being because they were grooming a different friend of mine, and another just because i misreaded or misjudged an innocuous conversation about games to the point that they erased themselves off of the internet unwarranted) and removing myself off of some peers i used to respect (either because they were bringing too much negativity in my already depressing life, or because they were revealed to draw creepy, awful shit;)

You can say that i've been losing a lot of people mostly out of my control, making my life feel a lot more lonely and my trust in people diminishing even more than it already was, to the point where i feel like i can no longer make any new friends and just deal with the only ones i have left for as long as i can, that's also not mentioning how horrible most of December was with a very nasty cold and stomach problems that has lasted for almost the entire month and is still somewhat persisting even now.

With that said, i did have some positive stuff happen in these last three months as well that kept me thinking of pushing through and consider myself coming back as an artist, such as my dearest friend AtomicJosuke hosting private, weekly Drawpile sessions for the both of us where we draw random things, and Vap & Jerky hosting a couple events in their Discord server (Halloween collab and Secret Santa) that i've partecipated in that made me feel like people cared about my presence.

For as awful as 2025 has been overall, i'm glad that it's all over and hope 2026 can have a brighter future, i genuinely hope things can get hopeful and better as i get my art grooves back, meet new, long lasting friends, and the internet environment becoming less hostile.

For anyone that's still my friend or is still following me on socials, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking with me even despite all these struggles. Cheers.
