You're bringing up a lot of good points, and I'll try to remember them as I'm navigating through my thoughts and feelings. We're once again in this together, and "together" is the keyword there. Thank you for all this. <3 Keep your head up--I appreciate you. <333

I think it's just breaking through the guilt of trying to live a "normal" life when everything is trying to make you feel otherwise. And whether or not some of it is justified, we shouldn't be stamping the joy we do get to experience.

Honestly.... Kinda this. It's like COVID all over again, but this time the virus was the government. It was a uniquely isolating experience, even though we're all going through the same suffering. I've never really thought of it that way.

:DDDDDDDDD

if you kys then how am i supposed to see ur art??????

T_T ty. I think I'm going to still give this a shot. I started using Instagram for the first time for travel posting, but it's not exactly the medium I'm looking for. I might try Substack for it. Ty for being a cheerleader. :<

I've heard that Tumblr as really turned around, and I'm trying to at least go once or twice a week, but it's hard to find the groove again. A part of it is I think I need to figure out what I "want" out of it. I think at a minimum, I should be posting art--and then see what happens from there.

Ty, my dear. <3 I know Facebook gets shit on, but it's genuinely the only one I still at least visit every day. I like seeing what people are up to--and I'm glad we're connected there. Always so happy to see your art pop up on my feed.

Definitely appreciate you posting. It's funny, I saw your name in my Discord list the other day and was like "I wonder how Heich is doing..." and I suppose part of that I could have just... Sent you a message. But I'm pleased at the universe for tying the thread. <3 Ty for being a friend. :)

I guess I don't know how many more migrations I have left in me. I don't know where it's worth investing energy to have a presence anymore. And I'm not sure if it is/has ever been worth having one. Maybe that's depression speaking, but it's definitely part of it.

Humans are adaptable. I'm rather proud of feeling like I can be as well... But the 2-3 year migration of these 3rd spaces on the internet is exhausting. With everybody threatening to leave Discord now too, I'm genuinely in a sense of panic. I don't know what to do from there.

That's not to say I don't have places I go to IRL (and it's even easier now being in Europe), but I'm not the kind of person to walk up to a stranger and talk to somebody. Legit most of my IRL friends, about 90% of them I met online first.

I think this nails it for me. The internet has always been my 3rd space, and I think that's the same for a lot of us that find ourselves in creative/fandom outlets.

Anyway... Probably time to leave for 4 months again. Or maybe not. Who knows.

That's not to say I don't love it here--I do. The quality of life is so much better here. But I think I'm finally hitting the wall of truly, deeply missing my people.

And not knowing how to use the internet or share my thoughts with the people I love is really showing itself now.

I think a part of me is starting to feel a bit of the isolation and loneliness of being in a foreign country. We have a few friends here now, but it's not the same. I'm too exhausted to go out and meet new people.

I want to start blogging some travel stuff, but I'm telling myself it's just another influencer type of mindset--who cares? What am I contributing?

But also I just like... Want to do it? I dunno.

But I miss being more connected to seeing art and what my friends are doing, etc. Discord has been my social hub for the past couple of years, but it's different. I dunno. A part of me feels like I've "grown out of" the social aspect of the internet.

I really wish I remembered how to use social media. I think there's a part of me that is too afraid to overshare, feel like anything I have to say is worth value, and in the end result in making new connections.

hi, i'm the friend! i'm in! THANK YOU SO MUCH! giving you a follow <3

Love love lovvveee these! Have fun!

I'm so sorry 😞 really hoping something changes for you!

i want my life back, but i've sank so much time into this, i'm pretty sure they have a fallacy named after this.

this has been the only fight where people have been fucking nasty too. i try to own up to my mistakes, but i've had people be just straight up shitty to me. happened last night too. i'm so fucking tired of this. my brain won't turn this off.
