This year I’ve been to Osaka, Miami, and British Columbia!!! And I’ve neglected to write entries in a timely manner so ummmm here is a photo from each trip:

I miss Komeda's Coffee and Lawson the most...

The most stylish picture I took while in Wynwood, overdressed and fading away in the heat

Harrison Lake! Ate at Chuihong once back in town

For this month, I’d like to get back into playing the latest Fantasy Life title (very cute and would recommend) and then hopefully, HOPEFULLY, get working on the mountain of JRPGs that I own. I also have Clove pieces I need to draw but I hope to introduce some of my other characters that are connected with his and Ross’s world. It's hard to pull myself away from grinding sparks in Umamusume but I must heed goals other than Strong Honse...

🐄 Eating: UHA milk candies (the salt one is my favorite i've determined)
🎮 Playing: Umamusume: Pretty Derby

Yesterday I caught a shiny Espeon in Pokémon Sleep, which was super exciting!! I named him Uriel and he's got decent subskills so I'm happy to use him (though I'd probably use him even if he wasn't great). I was also lucky this month pulling multiple Spring Outfit Glaceons in Café ReMix but I still very much want Leafeon too... I can only cross my fingers!

My green pea

The elephant in the room is that I have been absent for the past few months, pretty much just struggling with being social, making art, and managing my time. It feels like there's always a distraction around the corner but I'm learning to cope little by little. Some stuff I've done recently is buy some noise cancelling headphones and challenge the order in my head that's been making me miss out (the 'I shouldn't start playing this video game until I finish some art' sort of mentality). But I am also drawing and taking it gently! I drew some lineart in my sketchbook for the first time in a while today and while it does look kinda bad, I'll try not to give up on the piece.
