2026, halfway through and still kicking (my ass)

02/06/2026

A blogpost!? Could it be??? 2 years or so after the last one??(it could!)

It's funny, I update my site so infrequently that I just Forget that I have it sometimes and when I come back are read these little posts they're like little time capsules. Mostly, they capture moments of me feeling depressed enough to complain about it but not quite depressed enough not to post. Those are the lightning moments where anything can happen, the crab is holding onto the lip of the pot and we're watching with bated breath to see if it'll escape or fall back into the boiling water. Yeah.

I've mostly been good actually. Been doing better than I have been since the previous posts on this blog. I actually feel inspired by seeing art and looking at other peoples creative work again. Which sounds like a normal thing that anybody should feel when experiencing art but for a long time I could really only feel guilt and frustration that I couldn't get myself to do jack shit. Jack shit about nothing. That didn't mean I stopped creating, I don't think I could ever stop creating, but I definitely slowed down and stopped sharing the things I made. This meant most of my artwork just! gathered dust, finished or unfinished. I just couldn't care enough.

I can't say I'm not still struggling to keep that creative spark. But watching other artists, and trying a bunch of new mediums and different kinds of crafts has definitely been helping. Lately I've tried needle-felting, making bead bracelets, Pixel-art. I've been saving up empty tin cans and maybe I'll mess around with tinwork.
