it feels like 5 years worth of things happened to me this year...and it was overall really good!

In january i went through a lot and started suffering from panic attacks for the first time in my life, and came out on the other side finally understanding that i was nonbinary. not that i need to explain it to most of you folks, but i'm not exaggerating when i say the moment i admitted it to myself was one of the happiest moments of my life. everything feels different to me now that i'm not hurting every day wondering who or what i am.

i lost a lot of weight! the effects of intermittent fasting have slowed down and i need to be more disciplined but it's gotten me a long way and is the first sustainable lifestyle i've come across.

i feel closer, more trusting and more in love with @velvetorium than ever, and we've been together a long time 👀 💖 i feel really lucky. he's passionate and curious and keeps pushing his art into new places and mediums, and i'm so proud of all his progress!!

i met @moonflowers! among other things she's become one of my best friends and my game dev collaborator/art director. thanks to the projects we've completed, and her motivation/pushing me out of my comfort zone i've made more pixel art in the last few months than i have in my entire life ❤️ i'm so grateful.

speaking of game dev! i've been working my ass off as UI designer, pixel artist, composer and illustrator and have made two games with @FlowerStudio! our second project in particular, The Melting Apartment, was such a step up for me both in pixel art and my understanding of GB Studio. i honestly was hoping for 15-20 views on this game, and before long it was being played by some big youtubers to an audience of hundreds of thousands 🙏 the reviews and comments have been unbelievably kind too. i feel both blessed as hell, and incredibly proud of the hard work @moonflowers and I put into it. we're well into our next project too 🎉
