MY NEWGROUNDS PEEPS WHAZZUP

First of all, I wanna thank all you kind new ppl for following this page, I hope I can make it worth your while! I can't believe 211 people on here are interested in my work, it's really sweet so thank you!

On a personal note, I'm finally free of a job position which has, for the past few years, been making me feel trapped and hopeless, which led to a decrease in my overall will to live, which hasn't been fun. I left college two years ago and have felt directionless ever since, and my job killed my desire to create a better life for myself. So enough complaining, what am I even talking about?

My point is that I've learned I need to be better about standing up for myself and what I believe in. I grew up not exactly being challenged in that way, or challenging myself to be assertive. I thought that because this person was my supervisor that I just had to put up with how they treated me, but this truly was never the case. If anyone out there is experiencing anything similar, I want you to know there's always a way out, and you are strong enough to make your life more into what you truly wish it to be!

So keep making your art, I'm gonna get back to making mine, and I hope to post another cartoon soon. Another big reason for not creating is that it just hasn't made sense for me financially, at least in the short term, which is kinda what my life has been demanding rn, as I imagine you all have that same issue. It's hard to be an independent creator when it seems like the whole internet revolves around reposts and clout chasing viral content.

BUT you don't have to go any route other than the one you really want. That's the beauty of life. The second you decide to really take a look at what you're doing and ask yourself the hard questions about why you do what you do, that's when you start to grow.

2022 has been a break year for sure, and one I feel I've needed. The world keeps getting crazier, and for a long time it felt like I was just trying to keep my head above water. But now I'm relieved to say I feel like I can swim again, and that's a great feeling. New cartoons are on the way, I'm going to start collaborating with people more, and take the spirit of Newgrounds everywhere I go.

Thank you for reading this if you did, and I hope it was of some worth! Until next time.
