Thank you! (Patreon)

The holidays are always a hectic time of year. Some years I’m so busy running around that I want to run away and other years it’s so empty I’m left with only my thoughts. To be fair, both are equally awful lol.

This year was a weird one. We had a few less family members around and although it was quieter than most years, the energy was uncomfortable. I couldn’t help think that even though it was weird, I was still happy to be with people I care about, and to be in a place where I feel pretty ok.

I know pretty ok doesn’t sounds like a rave review on life, but as we end 2024 i genuinely take “pretty ok” as a huge win. I’ve talked about how lucky I’ve felt in the past and this year is no different. Getting to do what I love for a job is surreal. Playing dress up and creating art is never something I thought could be a job and I’m grateful to all of you for making that happen.

The next year is bringing some really tough challenges for me and knowing I have such an incredible support system makes it so much easier. The messages, the likes, the comments, the Skypes, the snaps, it all means so much to me when it comes from all of you. I’m sure it sounds silly, and I’m sure it might not seem like much, but when you’ve spent most of a decade putting your self out there for everyone to judge, it’s really fucking nice to feel so loved and respected.

Thank you all for making 2024 a pretty ok year, because without you it would have been pretty absolute dog shit.
