Instead, I gain fulfillment in expressing my skills in my own projects, hoping to turn these into money later. I'm just doing service work to pay for it.

I just hopped back into college this week but I'm ultimately pessimistic about being able to apply my skills outside of self employment

Toony stuff rules, run with that feeling!

100 percent. I find it helps to like set aside an hour and do a handful of things. Set aside at least an hour to mentally think about a hot situation, look it up on some booru sits and collect references, and pass that stuff around to friends with similar kinks.

This might take 2 hrs, but it works

Care to chat? Discord? Telegram? Dm's?

Absolutely, I'm usually a massive scatterbrain, until now.

its also part of why I hadn't pinged you ages ago when I meant to, but am now, I admit to being more than a little starstruck and didn't. Think I had things in order enough to chat. But with some techniques, I'm feeling sanguine.

If you're doing project planning id love to chat. I'm also doing a sort of "yearly plan" and I have some self organization ideas that might apply!

I like the design, what's the story?

Oh God I'm not the only one. It's like it's firm, fucking wet-aged or something
