Just Wanted To Say That I Adored Your Comic About Grief. It Just Really Got Me In The Feels With How

Day 4: Spell

Growth

Hanging on

Today is my birthday! (11/23) So I would like to gift you all with this announcement:

I have (finally) created my own food blog! @comfydarkeats ✨🍽✨

Food and art are both things that I greatly enjoy. When I was asked what my dream career would be, I answered that I'd want to be a food illustrator.

I say "finally" because, to be honest, even though they are my passions, it took me a while to just get started. Maybe it's the fear of making mistakes, or that the results won't turn out the way I want it to. Does anyone else feel this? 😭

A very wise friend told me, "Why not start with a 'bad drawing'? Why not paint a 'bad thing.' And just keep going until you finally get something good." In other words, I won't know if the piece is bad if I don't get started at ALL.

I'm also trying to apply this mindset in other aspects of my life. I admit to not accomplishing a lot of goals (let alone daily tasks) because of this fear of failure, fear of not getting it right the first try, which causes me to stop on my tracks and just be stagnant overall.

I know this is something I need to work on, but as I'm getting older, I'm learning that it's okay to make mistakes, as long as there's the eagerness and acceptance of bettering myself. I'm also trying to take in this saying, "There's no better time than the present." It's been said so many times, but I never really had that sink in until now.

Creating this blog is a small step, but it's important to me that I initiate at all instead of going, "someday." So here's to starting new things that may turn into accomplishments!

Is there something that you've been wanting or needing to do?

Today's one of those days, so I'm trying to keep myself grounded. Stay warm and rested folks 😌

Success! I updated my portfolio site

Time is an illusion that helps things make sense, So we're always living in the present tense, It seems unforgiving when a good thing ends, But you and I will always be back then. 🎶

So I finished the series and boy did I not expect to feel so many feels for the season finale 😭 But yes, Adventure Time, it got better and better and I definitely recommend it 👍

Day 22: Expensive. I wanna try a 5-star restaurant someday ✨

Hey everyone! I'm happy to announce that I'm opening commissions!

I don't have specific samples, but you are more than welcome to browse through all the pieces I've done so far. Please message/email me if you have any questions or inquiries, we can discuss on what you have in mind. 😀 Thanks, and have a good weekend!
