Growth

Where to begin.

This month has been a complete whirl of emotions.. We've been featured on the front page of Twitch every time we've gone live (and I say we because this is our channel, not mine). We've made over 800 new friends in the short span of just a couple of weeks, and I anticipate even more as the month progresses. Truly, it's been a wild ride, and on my non-streaming days, I feel like I've just been laying in my bed trying to muster up the motivation to get stuff done.

I realize that all of this happened immediately after Lady passed away, and it's not until the late hours when I snuggle up with Emmett before bed that it hits me: I haven't had any time to grieve over this. I haven't quite processed that my bunny is gone, and this month, I've been experiencing such great waves of high, but I know eventually the lows will be really rough. I've had a few of those moments, but I try to remind myself that I need to stay strong for the rest of this month - for me, for Emmett, for the community. I need to just push through this wave of growth because I really do feel like big things are happening. This whole month feels like a rebirth of sorts, and who knows what's on the other side?

I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you for sticking with me through this crazy time. I get out of bed because of all of you. I continue to make art because of all of you. It may take me all of my energy to do it some days, but I know it's worth it because in the end I know I have friends who are there to inspire me to go on. So thank you.

Thank you, Bard. Without you, none of this would be possible. I hope that, through all of this, you can find a nice quiet place to put your thoughts down and that you don’t feel pressured!
