Putting this here as a reminder to myself for 2025:

- Get better in art and writing
- Start reading books again
- Be kinder to myself, or at least ease up
- Try to interact with the community more, not just during live streams (Social Anxiety has me on a chokehold)

Already late with my anniversary fanart. I hope I'll finish in time before their streams.

I guess my anxiety got me real bad a few months ago that I'm mostly a lurker now. I know it's irrational of me but it's still there.

I still want to continue making things. I just have to deal with my frustrations with myself again and again.

I should really use a timer on myself when playing games or I'm not gonna have a lot of time to draw.

Case in point, me getting back to Stardew Valley and playing the Expanded mod got me too invested. Meanwhile, my rough sketches are just stockpiling and not being finished.

It will all kick in again once I'm all alone in the middle of the night.

I can't even process my emotions right now, let alone words.

RAL | Raru @waywardraru.bsky.social · Aug 16

To be honest with myself, I haven't really recovered much yet from 🐏. With 👻, I kept my emotions bottled up until it was the goodbyes. My eyes tearing up while painstakingly knowing there's another farewell soon.

The beloved ghost of our hearts.

May happiness always find you.

It's just tiring and heartbreaking...

I was never good at handling goodbyes and I don't think I'll ever be.

Don't be mistaken. She's still my kamioshi.

I forgot how to play Digimon TCG. It's been way too long, like early elementary school days long ago.

The TCG gameplay I relearned is from replaying Digimon World 3 and I don't think that's it.

I'm lost for words.

My songbird oshi sang for an upcoming mobile game from my most favorite franchise. I already planned to play when it comes up, this just further solidifies that plan.

I have to do some cleaning up in my phone for a bit more storage though.

I'm not gonna lie.

This made me smile hard when I saw 👼used this as a membie thumbnail. It kept my mood up during my shift.

Never in my life have I ever truly believed on any of my oshis using any fanart I draw. It's such a great honor.

(Drew this on my b-day and was gonna post it on the same day but things happened, including what I need to prioritize irl. After some time, I wondered if I should still post this or not.

Eventually just decided on doing it cuz to heck with it. I just had the random idea at the time and enjoyed drawing it.)

"Promise...?"

I'm also getting a bit creative energy again. I'll draw more once my body rested enough. Feet are still aching and arms feel slightly numb at times.

Gonna be on a new work sched too. Here's to hopeful thinking that I can use it to my advantage outside of work.

RAL | Raru @waywardraru.bsky.social · May 30

The new place may not have the many available cheap food within its area but, at least, I can see more of the sky with no tall buildings to block my view. Costs of living is a bit cheaper too, just have to cook more often than usual now.

So I moved.

It's the big change that happened to me recently. I lived in the prev place for almost a decade, was just 18 back then and it was good enough until it wasn't anymore.

Still taking it all in and recovering from carrying stuff up and down flights of stairs, both the old and new place.

RAL | Raru @waywardraru.bsky.social · May 25

Almost there. My body hurts all over, especially my legs. But it's all worth it.

RAL | Raru @waywardraru.bsky.social · May 22

I wanted to post something for my birthday today. I just drew something silly, the usual...

But I don't think today's the right time for it anymore.

I'll share it in the future instead. Still not good with handling my emotions so I'll just focus on the things I can.

RAL | Raru @waywardraru.bsky.social · May 22

It just stings...

RAL | Raru @waywardraru.bsky.social · May 19

Ngl, as much as I'm excited on what's about to happen in my life, there's still my anxiety.

It's still a big change for me. But overall, the pros greatly outweighed the cons. I'm prioritizing it for now.

Hopefully, once all settled, I can continue with my creative hobbies.

I usually listen to music when drawing. When I was about to do the lineart for this, my YouTube played "Parting Glass" (Specifically the version used in AC4's ending). The song helped me process my emotions I guess. Now, my sad brain and heart connect the song to him.
