You always make me feel so comforted with your messages so don't don't worry if you write a lot! I'm always happy to read it! *hugs* hope you're having a great day and thank you again <3

Absolutely, I am happy to reassure you πŸ€— It’s hard to create at the level you do and I feel especially empathetic because the digital world is SO ridiculous in terms of expectations for artistic output. It’s literally absurd and you constantly provide gorgeous (and free!!) art to everyone. That’s more than enough. You do enough. So if you need down time for yourself, there should be exactly zero people complaining. You’re not a machine and peaks/valleys is just the rhythm of life. No one should be punished for that, least of all you. I’m super proud of you for listening to your body and trying to give yourself what you need. It’s very self-aware to know that you’re extra stressed when working on zine projects and trying to be more forgiving and gentle with yourself during those times. Anyway, sorry for writing an essay. I just wanted to say that you got this and you deserve to be happy in your art practice. *hugs*

Thank you so much for always reassuring me πŸ’• I'm working a lot slower and trying to listen to my body a lot more and I know this creative burnout comes to me more often when I'm working on zines. I've noticed I feel a different type of pressure when it comes to working on these projects and I guess I'm not used to it yet haha

Kojiro’s calmly assured satisfaction and Kaoru’s slightly breathless anticipation is **perfectly** captured her and absolutely delicious. You have such a way with these two, I literally squeal every time you post haha. Art aside, please take care of yourself. Creative burnout is a critical warning and ignoring it is truly damaging. It’s TOTALLY reasonable to take time to recharge, (weather slowing down or taking a vacation from art for a spell). Your output is legendary and we all love that, but not at the expense of your joy. If you start to resent something you love, it kills it and it will show in your art. Even more importantly, nothing should get in the way of you having FUN with your art <3 Wishing you all the best!
