Hi everyone. This is my first project back after being gone for about a month, and I wanted to take a second to explain where I’ve been — especially because I kind of disappeared out of nowhere. So… I was in the hospital. It wasn’t something I ever planned on sharing, but I’ve always tried to be real with you all, and this experience really impacted me. Around a month ago, I had a sudden health scare. I collapsed at home, and after a bunch of tests, doctors found out I had a condition that had gone unnoticed for a while. I don’t really want to get into all the scary details, but I ended up needing treatment and monitoring. I was stuck in a hospital room for days that felt like forever, hooked up to machines and pretty out of it. And after that came the recovery part — not just physical, but emotional too. It’s weird how life can just pause on you like that. During that time, I couldn’t draw. I couldn’t post. I couldn’t even check Scratch most of the time. I felt disconnected and forgotten. But slowly, as I started feeling better, I picked up my sketchbook again. And something kind of unexpected happened. My art style started to change. Maybe it was because I had so much time to reflect, or maybe it was just all the emotions I needed to get out — but when I started drawing again, it felt different. My lines felt more me, my colors started telling stories without needing words. I think I grew a lot as an artist, and this project is kind of proof of that. (not the gross looking cat thats waving thou, I drew that in like 5 seconds) So yeah. I’m still healing. But I'm getting better. And I missed this place. I missed making stuff. And I missed yall. (even though I was gone for like one month) More projects are coming soon. I just really wanted this one to mean something. Thanks for being here, stay safe <3
