I wanted to write this to share a bit of insight onto events playing out before me, and to essentially explain why I might be going MIA for a while, at least online. Some background. I live with my step-brother, and my father. I work a part time minimum wage job, my stepbrother is unemployed, and my father is the “breadwinner” or at least has the highest paying job. This job has given him a car, which, has been our only mode of transportation for a few years actually, as, my dads main vehicle broke down a couple years back and we just haven’t pooled enough money together to get it fixed. Well today, all of this changes. My dad’s job has laid him off due to funding cuts. Something to do with our president not allocating funds to the type of job my dad works at (I won’t go into detail because I’m not gonna dox myself on here). Either way, he lost his computer, his car, and of course, his income.
For me, this means I can no longer get to my job and have to make a big decision on whether or not I continue working where I do. Public transportation is not an option in my area.
We will likely be forced to sell/vacate our home to move in with family (who are in a completely different state). This separates me from my Stepbrother, who has been one of the only people I care about for years. I am watching my life be destroyed in front of me, and there’s nothing I can do except watch it crash and burn.
This is all extremely mentally taxing on me. Some of the people that read this will not believe me, and that’s okay. I know what I’m experiencing right now. I understand that there are some people I’ve meant to do art commissions for, and, at this time, I don’t think I have the mental ability to fulfill this. Anyone who has paid me will be refunded, and for me? I think I’m going to just go dark for a while.
And to you. My Patreon supporters: thank you. You have unironically helped me pay bills and put food on the table for me and my step brother. Thank you all. I’m not going to deactivate my accounts or anything, and I am going to finish up any art I’ve been working on, but for now, I think I’m done.
