I got out of a super fricken toxic relationship around august/september of 2019 (which was a 7 year long relationship which is why I bring it up!!) and met my froggie @matthewlopz (if I say more I'm gonna pda and then this post gonna be full of cooties!!!!)

I also improved a lot on myself as a person and on my art!! I guess I got more loosey goosey or somethin LOL

went out of the country for the first time in january 2020 and that changed my perspective on life sooossooso fricken much

Aye, just lettin you all know that I'm taking a break from doing art. I would like it say that it's because I got a job as an excuse, but in all honesty, I just haven't been able to think of anything to draw. I know some people say to work your way through it, but when I do that it just gets even more difficult for me to do anything. So because of that, I'm gonna go on a break until I either a). stop drawing for so long that I won't be bored anymore with art and I'll actually want to draw again or b). naturally find something so inspiring that it sparks my creative need again.

I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I'm gonna also disallow myself to play any creative games so that way I can kind of force myself to get back into art instead of simply getting into another creative outlet (I've done this before accidentally). In other words, it's probably not going to be super long, at most a month if it really gets crazy but likely just a week or so.

Bear with me.
