It's with a heavy heart to all my fellow Dragonball fans that creator Akira Toriyama has passed away on March 1st. https://twitter.com/DB_official_en/status/1765935471971213816

I'm in deep shock over this. He was one of many inspirational creators worldwide. I just....don't have the words..... </3

It's too late to gather the dragon balls now.....

Rest in Peace Toriyama-Sama. Thank you for giving us a mythical adventure.

I wanna thank those for all the birthday wishes and gifts this year. For the first time in a while, this was a very descent birthday for me. I felt loved and happy today. I didn't even feel a little bummed out being older which I usually started doing since I was 22. The only downside to this day was the woman who gave me life isn't here anymore to see me through. I miss you mom and I thank you for giving me life.

Again, thank you to all my friends, family, and supporters in making my birthday a happy one.

Today is my birthday....yay.... Guess I survived another orbit.

I created a new server on Discord for artists hoping to expand or buyers looking for more commissions or adoptables. You have to be either one if interested and must be at least 18 or older to join. If you're interested in joining, DM me.

It's a new year now. Year of the Dragon. WHOOO!!! Here's hoping it'll be a better year than last year. Fuck 2023, I tell ya! I won't pretend I'm not dreading what negative events may await this year but for right now for my mental sake, I'm not gonna bother stressing over it. It's time to focus on the positives and goals.

Resolutions don't really mean anything to me unless they come naturally, but here's what I do plan on to do this year:

- Meet and date the shit outta @ThunderWolfang

- Get married

- Travel to new destinations and hopefully outside the US

- Finish up commissions that are long overdue X_X

- Work on new projects and stories

- Make more art/references of my OCs

- Eat healthy & lose weight

- Connect more with my older siblings and their kids

- Play "Tears of the Kingdom"

- Staying positive and happy

And that's about it for my goals this year. What are some of yours? And to anyone who's also fearing for what this year brings, don't think about it. Just try to get by as best you can. Just remember you're not alone. Have a safe and Happy New Year.

Year of the Dragon, bitches! Let’s Rock! 🐉

Well the year is coming to a close. I'm trying to find the words for this so lemme try it....

2023 wasn't any better than the last. My depression and financial troubles overwhelmed me even while I had a job, my relationship was rocky and I felt like I'll never be good enough, and worst of all: the sudden death of my mother. The last one hit me hard the most and I'm still grieving. While I never had a good relationship with her, I still know she always loved me, even if she had a funny way to show it. But it wasn't her fault. She been in pain her whole life and then that pain overwhelmed to her to point she just gave up and allowed her health to decline. I wished I had seen it before and tried to help but there's no use to wallowing on what could have or what should haves. Mom is no longer in pain and I hope she's at peace now. I need to focus on myself more now. I don't want to end up wallowing in bed feeling sorry for myself and letting my health, both mentally and physically decline. So I hope for the new year, I start improving myself. Exercise more, diet, even travel. Mom loved to travel and she always wanted to see the world. So I hope starting the new year and from then on, I get to go places more.

Another goal I'm hoping for the new year is being a better girlfriend to my bf @ThunderWolfang, whom we'll finally see in the coming week of January. I'm both nervous and excited to finally see him. We've been together for a long time and he's been there for me during the best and worst times. I love him so much and I pray our meeting will go so well.

And as for artwise goals, I want to keep creating for myself. Be it more fanart projects, new OCs and stories, and maybe improve my medium or move on from the crap I've been using in the past decade. Dunno about the latter but I still thrive to improve for myself because I really love to draw and share my ideas with everybody. And it makes me happy to share and connect with similar open-minds like mine, no matter what style or technique we use.

So in short, if I had a New Year's resolution: it be to keep living life.

To anyone reading this and those who have been my biggest support this year or the years before, I wanna thank you all in putting up with me through these difficult times. You've all been my inspiration to keep going even in my worst. I want to keep going for everyone. For my family, my friends, my fans, and for myself. And I hope you all meet your goals for the new year. Have a Happy New Year and let's all get through this decade together.
