Description
So, I haven’t been active in a long time. A long time. Four months, to be exact. It’s why I’m making this journal entry. Usually I just make journal entries because I wanted to mess around with a meme or some cool MYO event came up, but this felt like something to talk about. I know I haven’t been active— I know I’m not active, but it feels weird to come suddenly after 4 months without an explanation uploading things and pretending nothing ever happened. I know y’all aren’t too active around my page either, but if you’re reading this— thanks for doing so and I’m truly sorry for my 4 month hiding from DA.
Enough of my rambling— I haven’t been uploading art because I haven’t been doing much art at all. It feels like my hands can’t finish even the simplest doodle tasks or warm ups, and, even if I can, my motivation burns out and leaves me to sleeping through the day and binge-watching shows. I’m preoccupied with spiraling tendrils of thought and worries and I’m just..? Tired. Things aren’t working or going too well right now. It’s been a tough year in general so far for me, actually— as it’s been for everyone, it seems, with all the stuff that’s been going on!
Life isn’t a clear and straight path, it’s a dense forest with hills and valleys. Ups and downs always come and always pass, even if it’s hard to see with everything in your way. I’m starting to feel a bit better— even though they’re only sketches, I’ve actually made and finished them where I’m satisfied enough to show them!
I was gone for a long while, but I’m not going to let “long” turn into “forever!”
I might even start being active on sites other than DA— you could poke me in a note if you want my Twitter, even though my only post is currently a blurry fish picture. Or, if you prefer to just have a chat, you can poke for my discord! I don’t mind.
To everyone who read this: thank you for sticking around so much and I’m sorry for not being here.
— Yours truly, Jasper
