This is the first Father's Day I'll be spending without a father. It hurts every day, but in particular this is a harsh "reminder" with the constant advertising and things that make me think of him.


I found out yesterday that my aunt, uncle and cousin are moving to Japan, meaning I'll be lucky to ever see them again after that. I still hope they can make it to my wedding, but I don't want to pressure them. Just inviting them now feels feels like I'm torn between making them feel welcome but not obligated to travel across the world. I'll definitely be inviting them, but if they come I hope it's because they genuinely want to and not because they feel like they have to, if that makes sense.


I've finally been able to make some art again and have the bulk of my owed things done with, which is a relief and I thank you all for your massive patience with me. I did go through a long period of not being able to draw or do much of anything else, but hopefully this will lead to me being able to draw for myself again as well.
