Life update · 7:36pm Mar 7th, 2023
A LOT has happened since my last update here.
My father passed away late September after two months of a very sudden decline. He had a congenital heart defect which should have taken him 40 years ago -- around the time I was born. It finally caught up with him. He was active up to the decline, which is just amazing. He was the best and most important human being I've ever known, and I'm blessed to have known him.
I've been very busy taking care of my invalid mother, the house, and continuing to work full-time. Despite my age, I've only been driving for 6 months, four of those months entirely by myself. I am disabled on multiple faucets and had put a great deal of effort prior to this emergency for many years into making sure I could take care of myself. Had this happened a year or two ago things would be very different right now. My family came together to fill in the blanks for my experiences with RL stuff and make sure everything would be okay. If it wasn't for the work they put in and I've been putting in over the past ten years I really don't know how the house and I would be doing right now, or if I'd be able to upkeep it and my mother. Everything probably would have imploded, frankly. I'm just starting to relax and get back into the groove of various activities.
I still work for the charity, full-time, and I'm now also mentoring people, and helping them discover what they want to do. That, in and of itself, is very fulfilling work, and I really doubled down on this when the outside world seemed to be becoming more polarizing and violent as time was going on. I think it's helped keep me sane, as I more like the like the idea of people working together, despite their differences... which is what the place is designed to have people do XD
As for what I've been up to, I've largely been drawing when I have the time. I want to be an ABDL artist, one day taking commissions. I've mentioned this before, I think, and it's something I'm pursuing. It's something I didn't think was possible due to my disabilities and it's something I'm also going to double-down on, given the changes going on in my life right now it may be slow but I'm working towards it. Very laid-back sense of humor in my stuff -- just there to have fun and be off-beat.
Other than that.... I've just been surviving.
Hope everyone's well!
Peace 
I wish you well and
Sounds like your a real life CMC (post cutie-mark)
Sorry to hear about your father man, at least you are in a better place to take care of your mother then you were previously.

I realize this is a pretty sad post, but all in all it's going to be okay. I try to look at things on the bright side in that it can easily be a lot worse. I appreciate the support and hope you're well Cold Spike

Thanks.
Yeah, the CMC is a good analogy. I just want to be of help to the place, so where I can fill I'm generally placed. I've got experience feeling aimless and as though my disabilities were holding me back, so talking to people with similar types of issues and helping them through their own problems is very rewarding work, as it helps them get on their feet and best the best version of themselves.
Thanks again for the support Hawkx1. Hope you are well

Very much so, and thank you. I think what's most important is things are beginning to become stable. Before my dad went into the sweet hereafter he saw that it was going to be this way, that we'd all come together should something bad happen or things aren't quite ready. I think that's really special.
Thanks again for your support Mix-up. I hope things've been going well in your world
Do you plan to make more stories?

A reasonable question, thank you for asking :)
To be direct, simply put, I do not know. It's not something I'm throwing away, but I am trying new things. I do have some stories on my Fur Affinity and Ink Bunny pages.
