What is to come...

...no one knows the direction our lives will end up taking. I feel this is especially true for my life lately, but I know one thing for sure, I'm not happy in the circle of drudgery that is the working world.


I recently left my place of employment of five years due to some very permeated creative differences, which may or may not have been the "smart" thing to do. I have also very recently left the job that I was hired at shortly after. Both of these decisions weren't entirely well thought out, and I am very stressed about what I am going to do when it comes time to pay bills, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I was not happy at either place, and I doubt now that I ever could be. You may be asking yourself if I am crazy, or saying to yourself that I am lazy; that I should just buck up and start working again, and you may be right. But I need to do what makes me happy, and working in a kitchen wasn't it.
I'm not entirely sure what happiness means for me, or how I'm going to make money doing the thing that makes me happy, but damn it, if I don't try then I will have already failed. This blog will have to serve as a stepping stone to that place in the future, that place I can call my own. I have a lot of interests, but they are very spread out. I enjoy writing, but I have seldom reasons to write. Every time I have a moment to sit and write, I am too exhausted from working 40 hours a week to be creative. The same holds true for drawing, or painting, or any other form of creativity you can think of. So it is time to stop prioritizing money over my happiness.


To quote Neil Gaiman:
“Go and make interesting mistakes. Make amazing mistakes. Make glorious and fantasic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for you being here. Make. Good. Art.”


I will Neil Gaiman, I will do that.


That is what this is, this is me making a mistake. A happy mistake.


In this blog you will most likely find a plethora of reasons to be here. Maybe not all of them are for you. But my intention is to make this a place for me first and foremost, and if you find pleasure in hanging around and checking some of it out, then awesome! Maybe eventually it will feed me, and keep a roof over my head, maybe it will never pan out, whatever, doesn't matter. This is my creative outlet.
Things that might show up here include, but are not limited to:
Drawings,
Paintings,
Writings,
Incoherent ramblings,
Videos?
Webcomic maybe?
Other stuff!


I also really want to get back to streaming on Twitch. I miss my friends that I made over there and want to come back, I just haven't had the time to put in the effort. Watch for me and Greg.


In any case, I hope you stick around to follow me on this journey, I might need the company!
