It’s hard to believe but it’s time to already head to the next month. The good news is I survived my seasonal depression, but the bad news is that everything else took a back seat.

Addicted to Palword, a blessing and a curse

So around this time, I’ve been a custom to my Seasonal Depression around July. It’s basically when you get a big depressive spike due to weather or time. A lot of people have it around December but for me it’s been in July which really sucks.

Luckily I got gifted Palworld, and for the early month of July, I’ve been ADDICTED. Like 10-12 hours a day early on. It has been tappering off but I can’t deny having that focus really helped. If you want to know, we’re getting close to the world tree and then kinda just try to have fun with it.

The longer break was shockingly needed

A little surprised by that myself but damn I’m so glad I took that break. While there are still challenges, mostly financial at this point, it’s been a good time just relaxing and recharging. Can’t stay stagnant tho, I gotta pick up the brush again!

Gotta get back to the art

So, I’m hoping to get back on art either Friday or Monday and more or less going to do whatever comes to mind first. It’s similar to what I said back in July’s Monthly Update but it’s needed much more right now. The stagnation needs to end, it’s time to get to the art!

Slight Discord Server Update

So, I decided to start dismantling the “Venting Cafe.” There were multiple reasons for doing so. I got a report of how it was not feeling like venting but felt like at points it was a competition for ‘miserableness’ which is incredibly unhealthy and should never be promoted. The other reason was the fact I’m not great at defusing or strong levels of comfort needed. (I would recommend trying to seek out therapy and give it a try). I’ve also personally avoiding venting in there myself mostly because I saw other people’s issues and vents in a way outweighing my own and deserved more attention. What I originally thought would be a good place to vent and feel some relief has become into a much bigger and much more sensitive for relief that I have the experience for comforting and reinforcing positive outlooks. So, I decided to close my server’s venting channel. Nothing on it will be archived due to the personal nature of what people have posted.

Conclusion

Not much to say other than we gotta get back to the canvas.
