Description ..is hard, but sometimes the toughest choices we make are to make things better for ourselves.

I had to wake up early to make an important phone call, so I had a little time to draw myself a little chibi-like thing -- and this is exactly how I feel right now ♥
I don't want to go into major details, but long story short I've been recieving support for my mental health and it's basically acted as a safety net for me while I worked within the "permitted work" criteria in order to help me to get myself off the ground... and today I made the slightly scary decision to sever that safety net completely.

It's all me now baby!

It's daunting to know that I'm in full control of the wheel now, but honestly? It feels sooooo liberating! I feel so relieved to no longer have that stupid monetary earnings limit hanging over my head! (some recent commissioners and close friends will know exactly what I'm talking about). I have so many new ideas and creative things I want to do now that I'm free to do them and it's really quite exciting~! ^^

I'm not healed - I'm getting better! But I'm not remotely what I'd call healed... and things could go badly wrong... but I've come to realise that I need to trust in myself and do what I feel is best for me.. and if cutting that safety net away means I have more freedom to do what I want and try to be successful, then so be it ♥ I have so many wonderful people around me, I've met lovely artists, commissioners, I've made amazing friends and I have a wonderful boyfriend waiting for me down in Wales... I'm not alone in the slightest, and even though sometimes it can feel like I am, I know that I'm not and that in itself means the world to me..

Anyway... so yeah. Big life decision is made. Kitteh is full time artist now! I'm not going to open publicly again until February at least, but expect to see a lot more from me in the coming months -- including commissions, YCHs, adopts, the release of my species, trying an IA challenge for a month, and a bunch other awesome stuff ;v;/

I hope you enjoy my little chibi-ish attempt ahah! Take care ♥
