Main reasons being many huge changes in my life that have turned everything upside down and now I feel like everything has settled in again and I'm slowly feeling like I've got my life back.
Lets's start from the beginning:
It all began with what I fondly refer to "the term of hell", where I somehow survived thorugh a 70hrs week for half a year but oh it was so not worth it.
But it led to some grand things, that is for sure.
It all began with a social media break/thing because reallife had become so intense, that it had a very negtive effect on my creativity and overall inspiration. At first, I took the time "off" to get myself back together and make room for time off.
Eventhough I'm now officially back to posting regularly (on Instagram), I'm still not as active as I used to (and the algorythm keeps reminding me with a pathetic reach - thank you, Instagram algorythm!), but I am sure it will all even out once I have fully settled in with the many new changes.
All in all, the last year has been a grand journey of self-discovery and aligning myself back with what is actually important to me.
It is also what has led to my change of usernames, as I had felt that my content doesn't need an artistname anymore (nowadays I do almost anything but art *laughs*). Especially my time of absence has made me even more sensitive to how important it is, to be real on a platform , where most people try to be perfect.
I am of course fully aware that this is not exactly something that is going to improve your reach or follower count, but I couldn't care less and I also encourage you, to start caring less about the amount of people following you and more about what kind of content you provide them with.
Winter is a good time for reflecting.
I've also started to finally boost YouTube again - had been planning to do this about a year ago already but then the term of hell happened and well...
Right now, I'm in a really good place - both mentally and physically.
I've finally taken the courage to change University (which was the best decision ever), gotten back to being vegan after three years or so of not wanting to fully commit and/or label myself and started to work for an amazing company that really tickles all of my creative fancies!
And now, that life has calmed down, together with the arrival of winter, I'm finding myself rediscovering the joy for writing - I'm not going to promise anything but we'll just see where it leads.
~How have you been?~
