my amazing commission by @archrui came in and I’m so excited to share it with you all. That’s my narrative soulmates ❤️
Thank you, @putaotao!
how it all feels lately
I haven’t done an end of year retrospective in a while. This isn’t really about 2025. My 2025 was great! I got married (again!!), I got to attend a ton of fun conventions and meet a lot of you guys in my new home in Australia! I went out and made friends! I traveled! I did a really wonderful Artist Residence in Itoshima!! I reignited my love for personal projects! I’m living with the love of my life doing a job that I love, and you know what? None of that would’ve happened if I decided my life was over at 20 years old.
I know “it gets better” is a platitude, so I won’t say it, but what I will say is “it gets different”. It’ll pass. And aren’t you curious to know what happens next? Don’t you want to live long enough to find out?
