I wake up at like 11-12 every single morning, so I'm thinking I might just bite the bullet and become a night owl again, but we'll see

few years ago I combatted productivity anxiety by charting how I used all my time. it allowed me to see that week for week, regardless of how much I felt I'd done, I was always consistently hitting about 40 hours a week between work and hobbies. doing it again to gain a sense of perspective

doodles b4 work. forgot working full time is tiring. need to be more diligent about finding time to draw.

Wolve @wolvexo.bsky.social · 3d

I can now draw a character that looks comfortable or hopeful, because I'm starting to feel that way again.

Shame that my greatest lifeline is art, as it fails me as a mode of expression when things get difficult. I am not good enough at it!

Wolve @wolvexo.bsky.social · 3d

But life is settling down, and my feelings are small enough to fall back within my artistic range.

Wolve @wolvexo.bsky.social · 3d

For the past months, those feelings have been overwhelming and intangible, and my skills as an artist are not up to the task of expressing those feelings. So no art.

Drawing has been hard before recently. Drawing is a kind of meditation that puts me in tune with my feelings by figuring out how they look.

Pile on top of that a love for cartoons, and I'm dressing up a character in fashion choices that continue to describe what I'm getting at, and it becomes a second life scenario. Cartoon characters as name badges is what the internet is all about.

It's a very fun reference point people use to describe themselves to each other.

People, I never felt I could understand. But if you tell me "I'm like a cat", I can work with that, because animals as allegory is something I do understand.

Wolve @wolvexo.bsky.social · 3d

The appeal of being a furry to me was a general comfort with animals and what I knew them to represent in fiction, as allegories for the human condition.

Wolve @wolvexo.bsky.social · 3d

Like, in an Aesop's Fables kind of way, we know what I mean when I say I'm like a cat or a dog or a lion or whatever. You know what I'm getting at. "I'm like that", I say, hoping people get the gist of my personality from that context clue. It's Dog, approximately.

Wolve @wolvexo.bsky.social · 3d

My presenting personality is a negotiation between who I am and who I want to be. This seems true for a lot of people. It's exhausting. I am too autistic to wrap my head around this problem, and so it's easier to just point at a picture of a dog and hope for the best.

Months ago when things were bad I unfollowed literally everyone I followed before, and I'm still finding you all again. Bit by bit.

I want to get to a self-assured place with my comic again where I wholeheartedly believe what I'm doing is cool regardless of feedback. I've brainstormed some themes to tie together the nonsense I've written so far and I'm excited about the comic again.

Finally have a job and something that passes for a work setup. Sketching up some pages of Space Story.
