Sorry I haven’t been posting. A lot of things have been getting in the way of that. I promised myself to make a huge update after my exams, but unfortunately for me, I’m right in the middle of taking an intensive Winter subject. (Right when I should be enjoying a month-long break!)

I had classes from 10am-5pm every day last week, and my exam is next week. I’ve had one exam per week for more than a month now, and I’m starting to feel the effects of burning out.  I feel completely mentally drained and I’m just exhausted.  Admittedly, I’m feeling particularly miserable about uni/my future/blah.

Aside from that, life has been a bit of a bitch lately. (Annoying when that happens, huh?) I haven’t really been in the right frame of mind to create art, and I’ve been pretty withdrawn the past couple of weeks. Those who know me, know that I rarely stress about anything or let life get in the way of the things I love.  

But I dunno.  Sometimes you just fall into an all-engulfing rut and no matter how hard you try to shake it off, it sucks you right back in.  Don’t worry, though, I’m holding on. :)  And I’m sure it’ll wear off soon enough.  

Tumblr’s also a bit weird right now.  The dashboard is different.  And I think I’ve lost like 2,000 followers, haha.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a small (art-less, I know) update on why I’m being such a lasher.  Things are just kind of crazy and tiring right now in all areas of my life.

But I’ll keep on truckin’!  And if you’re dealing with the nasty grabby hands of a bad patch, I hope you will, too.  It will get better. :)

x vm.

  5. a-softer-shade-of-grey said: Best of luck! Anything I say would just be an echo of the sentiments others have already expressed, so I’ll just say that you are a real inspiration in terms of personality and not just art. Hang in there!
