Hello deviants friends,
I have decided to write a post about my struggles and desires to continue making art.
Some of you might know that I have been through a slow and difficult recovery since January 2020 when I received a planned, and at the same time long-awaited and dreaded heart surgery.
With COVID knocking on the door just as I got out of the hospital on a heavy dose of immunosuppressants, life and recovery became even more challenging.
Combined with shoulder and wrist issues I must confess I was feeling rather down.
It has been a rather dark year of my life.
(Losing a parent to cancer few months after the surgery did not help at all. All felt like a really stupid movie that I am watching and cant change.)
Now I am trying to get back on my feet and do more art, work on my IP and continue living the "dream"...if there is any...
For now my main goals are to do 1 speedpaint a day, update my portfolio and apply for wizards, manage my heart problems and exercise more, do more long walks or hiking, read more books, eat healthier, get vaccinated(done) and maybe get a dog.
