Hi, yes, I'm still very much alive!! I'm just experiencing some severe artistic burnout, mainly related to drawing. I literally am unable to draw for more than 10-15 minutes without my brain fizzling out of energy to draw.

So I am taking a break from art. XP

I think this burnout has happened because of the fact that various random health-related issues have been popping up in my family since the day after Christmas. From COVID to some weird neurological-possibly-psychiatric symptoms, my family has been the target of bad things happening since the 26th of December.

More recently, my parents have been doing all the driving my one of my sisters usually does because she literally can't drive due to weird neurological issues that only affect her arms and legs. Are the doctors helping her at all? NO! BECAUSE WE'RE IN AMERICA AND ALMOST EVERY DOCTOR WHO ISN'T AT CLEVELAND CLINIC OR MAYO CLINIC IS TRASHY!!

But yeah, because I depend upon my parents for transportation, I'm stuck here at home all day every weekday. 'Cause I simply can't handle being around my sister's two young kids, one of which was just diagnosed as autistic and is VERY VERY sensory-seeking. Unlike me, I'm sensory-avoidant.

So, I really don't see any end in sight for this current situation in my family. I'm hanging in there, though.
