Hey awsome people. On occasion, usually once or twice a week I make a blog post to my Patreon supporters. I was wondering if you'd be interested in getting those posts here? As this can also be seen as a similar donation and subscription platform. Same thing goes for behind the scenes content and new art updates. Nothing spammy, just about once or twice a week. Let me know your thoughts ❤️
Here's my today's Patreon blog post for example:
Hey people ❤️
I'm as consistent as a broken radio 😅
How are you?
This is a bit of a mental health rant
Lately I kinda fixated in two things, a Berklee audition I recently had and supporting my boyfriend in his influencer work/merch etc.
On Monday he's leaving which means I'll have probably 3 months alone in a hotel room (given by the government to those kicked out of their homes by Hamas), and I'm planning to do everything in my power to focus back on music and handmade jewellery. Life's been very emotional and chaotic, my mental health is still in a shaky place, it's more of the same yet always changing. People say I glow lately, and I wonder how could I glow while still having so much hard mental health symptoms. But I guess, even if sometimes I doubt it, I am still getting better. Even if I self criticize too much, I'm still healing and still doing everything I can to be my best self and give this version to others. I don't feel much love or liking to myself recently I'll be honest but I'm working on it. I believe a huge part of it is being distracted which is why I decided to completely focus on focusing, and the first step is removal of distractions, basic health improvements like more working out and healthy eating, gratitude lists and all that basic wellness stuff which just works. The bigger challenge is not stopping this time. It's continuation of self care and high focus state as much as possible, forever. I can't give up on myself again or on people, no matter how much both traumatized me. I'll just have to be more careful with the people I choose, and the way I treat myself. Healing is a very painful journey but the only difference in saying I'm healing or I'm ill is that they're both true, but one is stagnant, identifying with the problem and the attention surrounding it, depending on validation. And the other, is positive and changing, slowly pushing out of inertia and attracting more deep fulfilment. They both hurt like hell but at least one perspective gives me a chance to live the way I desire most and give away the best that I can give to others.
Love,
Skaly
PS. Happy Purim!!!
