So I bought a switch · 8:04pm May 31st, 2018
I've mentioned a few times in my previous commissions over working towards some sort of goal, and yesterday I finally was able to purchase said goal and buy myself a Nintendo Switch.
It feels weird to buy something so expensive. I know to a lot of people something like 400 dollars (Console plus game plus tax) isn't a whole lot of money, but to me who has been climbing out and falling back into depression for most of my life unable to find a job it feels like a lot. Part of me was afraid to tell people what I was working toward because in a way it's a 400 dollar toy. I never mentioned it in blogs because I worried in some weird way about judgement, even if I didn't realize it at the time. But y'know what? I feel happy. I set out a goal and I actually did something about it instead of deciding I wouldn't be able to achieve it and dropping said dream.
That being said... I've pretty much worked myself to exhaustion just being able to afford this in about two weeks. I don't know how normal people have stamina for 9-5 jobs. I'm pretty much going to take a minor break from commissions unless they're super short ones or ones I feel I can easily do. Right now I'm a bit addicted to Hyrule and that is one hell of a drug.
Hyrule is one hell of a drug. And that drug makes that 9-5 (4am-1pm in my case) easier.
With you on that. The last time I tried to work a full-time (okay, close to full-time) job, I got so depressed that my palpable misery made me unfit for customer service and I got fired. To be fair, I was working at a hotel; they have notoriously high turnover rates and they don't give a shit about keeping people.
Nice to see you've achieved your goals.
Darn I was going to throw in one more commission too.

You can still commission me! I’m happy to write after I get a week or so to calm
