Last Photos of the Year

TL:DR - Thanks for the support, a lot has happened but things are getting better, hopefully for all of us. :3

Happy Holidays everyone. I forgot to upload these when they where made due to things getting busy but wanted to make sure they where uploaded before the end of the year. Per doctors orders and roommates insisting, i have been trying to take a bit of a break from large projects, both online and off. However, I should be back at full sometime in January and in the meantime I'll be focusing on sketch works and improving my fundamental art skills, provided I make time to take care of my self properly, again per the suggestion of doctors. 

Fortunately, things are looking really good so far, as we're thinking that the neurological damage i suffered a while back (which caused me to temporally go blind in my left eye along with some other issues) seems to have subsided for the most party and may have been due to a momentary illness rather than MS. But we won't know for sure until the end of the January tests to make sure nothing else has degraded. 

Until then I'm going to keep up with self care improvements as while neurological issues are out of my hands, the other health issues, both physical and mental, i can do something about now that I'm no longer being leeched off of by toxic family members nor other people and have relocated to a better area with a far higher standard of living and expectation of people in the community, all of which has put me in a better place to recover from years of struggling and abuse and expectations of success merely being survival and idealized ignorance and segregation, rather than actually living, valuing education and uniting people regardless of superficial cultish ideals heralded as "culture" by my predecessors that are determined to destroy everything around them as well as their selves. 

I am finally free from their hatred and as lame as it is, having my art as a lewd toon outlet kept me going, especially when things got hard. It was far preferable and ironically more mentally enriching than some of the things I was creating to cope with my situations offline.  I say all this because I am hopeful to get to a point of producing work constantly again and I'm grateful that despite everything that's happened since things fell apart in 2019, that I'm finally getting my life back and in part, it wouldn't of happened without the support from you all, especially when it comes to meds and doctors bills. every bit helps and it means a lot to me. 

It's also nice to be drawing things that brings smiles to others instead of being locked away expressing my self in less... constructive artistic means. I genuinely enjoy what I do and while things may change and grow, I will always be here to create for all of you folks, provided nothing outside of my control prevents me from doing so, and I hope y'all stick around, be it on patreon, twitter, fa, new grounds, or whatever other website I happen to pop up on. You all motivated me to get my life back together, right when I had a chance and the means to throw it away.

I know i'm just the Furry lewds person and folks probably hate it when i get on my little 2000s era emo kid soap box, but I don't want folks to make the mistakes i have and remind everyone that no matter how hard it gets, there is no shame in getting weary and needing to escape. So long as you know when to come back and handle the tasks that you must to maintain a healthy, happy and hopeful life, even when you feel like it's hopeless and/or when you think no one cares. It's ok to take time to work on your self and you'll be surprised how much the simplest of comments and words of support can mean to someone, as you never really know what they could be going through on the other side of the screen. At the vary least, I know how words of kindness helped me, even when in the sea of drama and conflict that the internet can be. The  glimmers of light, no matter how small, out weighs the oceans shadows. And i just wanted to express how grateful i am to the comments and support I've gotten and the amazing amount of patience folks have shown me and continue to show. It makes me want to do better, for you all as well as my self.

So here's to a better year in 2023, a year that will be healthier, happier and filled with hope for not just my self but for all of you, as well as all of our loved ones. Despite the challenges we all face in our personal lives, I want us to remember that while we may take a break with lewd fantasy and online entertainment, that eventually we should return from the escape, having taken time to recover so we can tackle our challenges and overcome them. Balancing our digital and physical lives as well as our escapes and our duties is important and this year, I want to keep bringing smiles with lewd escapes while also providing words of support for those that may need to hear it. After all, once the rush of after dark activates fade, it's nice to have genuine words of support to fall back on when one must return to tackle the challenges ahead in life.
