A little while ago I made this based off of this tweegeemee as an analogy for how I've felt about my career path with my art for a while now.

Coincidentally, today I got to look at some old physical merch and patron rewards I made back in 2017 that my girlfriend Arwyn had kept all these years. The letters that I included in them sounded uncannily familiar to me, listing off many of the same persisting issues that I've struggled with to this day.

I feel like I understand what it takes now more than ever, but it feels somewhat insurmountable and still entirely uncertain, too. I just hope I can make a breakthrough soon.
