hey! this is probably gonna be my last update like this since there isn’t that much more to say about it —
its not super important, if you’ve been following me a while I’m sure you already can tell that I’m inactive. 

As a lot of you guys probably know, I’m a sophomore right now. which is crazy, because i started posting on th when i was about 11, and i’ll be 16 soon.
ive grown a lot as a person over the last year or two, and to be honest, things like social media no longe really bring me joy. around last year i stoped posting things and it felt pretty nice to not /need/ to check my socials 24/7. Around 2020, the idea of not being active was so odd to me. Out of the question. but it’s honestly what’s best for me.
i’m not the same person i was when i started my online presence. I’m not The same person i was a year ago, or 4 years ago. i had a lot of fun on socials, and I made a lot of friends. But ive realized recently that I was basing my life on a screen. All my friends were online, all my conversations were through text. And I found myself being so jealous of people with better art, or more money than me. i dont like the person that these sites made me become.
If you know me irl, you know that im a very laid back, very outgoing person. But Being online all the time enabled me, it made it so that i could just ignore the world around me and live my life on my computer. It made me Anxious and socially awkward, it dragged down my grade because all i would do is spend time on discord or insta instead of doing my homework.
when i took a break from being online, i discovered how much i love to draw people— i almost always draw traditionally, too. That’s the art that i enjoy the most. for the past 3 years ive been stuck in a rut of constnatly drawing the same thing. furries. That no longe brings me joy. And neither does being online. 

a couple years ago, i had a very boring bleak life. covid made it even worse. I used being online as an escape— because i had so little going on around me. I was insecure and hated myself, and being online gave me an alter ego of some sorts.
but now I enjoy my life. I get good grades, i play sports, i have friends. I havent been this genuinely happy in so long. 

What I mean by this is — being online is no longe something i need. And i dont want to need it. i had an unhealthy relationship with it for so long and it feels good to be out of it now. 

I’m not leaving, to be clear. but i dont expect to post vey often. I check socials every now and then— and i dont think I’ll permanently stop anytime soon. but this is probably the end of my furry art (except on certain occasions). 

And to be fair, i dont know what’s gonna happen in the next few years. I might fully come back and be active again— i dont know. But it will definitely be different than it has in the past. 

Thanks for reading :)
