Hey Everybody
By the time you read this The new year has already started for me. For some of you that have gotten to know me, my time line leaves me nearly a full day ahead of all of you. That is unless you live along the same chain of islands.
I spent the better part of news years eve trying to draw. And as I sketched, talked with friends and went about my day free from work. I thought about a lot of things. And during the last few hours after the stroke of twelve those thoughts weight heavy on my heart and mind. The year hasn’t been my most productive, art has been slow coming and for those of you that still praise me for what I put out. Thank you.
The year has been an interesting one to say the least. The world has been going through a lot of changes both good and bad. I’ve thought about the good, analyzed the bad, and tried to explain all the maybes that have occurred during the last 365 days. And I’ve come to a very clear and present conclusion I hope you all gain some wisdom from.
Its when we make plans that we leave ourselves open to heart break.
I know it may not be the most positive outlook but after having so many of my plans and hopes set aside or simply denied I cant help but wonder why I try so hard to get things going for myself. But its when those thoughts happen that you remember why. I have so many people in the fandom that I call my friends, and a select few my family and even closer still my confidants. I have come to terms that even if I may have one of the biggest hearts, I still need to take care with who I share it with and remember that spreading myself too thin is just as bad as not sharing at all. So for those of you I’ve message in the past and are still waiting for me to come back around and give you a hug. Wait a little longer, I fully intend of keeping my circle of friends and remind them that they are important in my life.
Theirs something else ive come to terms with, it is how often I break my promises, after taking a look back at everything I have promised to do and have not followed through on, I take it upon myself to do the responsible thing and not make any promises any more. At least ones I cant really see myself fulfilling in the near future. My only guarantee will be that I’ll take it to heart and remember that someone asked something from me and I should add it to my list of things to do. I still want to be a good friend, and sometimes the best thing any friend can do is say “I’m sorry, but I cant promise that right now.” Im tired of disappointing people. So for the following year I will make sure to take care of the people I care about, try not to make too many promises, and remember that im not superman. Im not here to save the world. I’m here to make the little part I live on right for me.
A lot of stuff has happened that has made me realize just how wonderful and dark the Fandom can be. Ive seen a lot of fresh new talent come in, and some leave. Ive read through journals filled with happiness, and sadness and remember the words of those that have gone through so much. It just goes to show that you can never really predict where your life can go. So I’m gonna tell all of you to take a minute and not think about tomorrow. But think about today and what you have right now that makes your life good and worth living. Yeah theirs a new year on the horizon, but your not their yet, your still in the here and now and thinking too much about tomorrow might make you forget about the blessings you had today. The friends and people who tell us they love us, the things that we take for granted that make living a little easier.
For me….the things….people…that make my life easier to live…are the ones I lean on in my times of need. And for one person in particular…
My mate has been a constant in my life the last year, we have been through ups and downs and I have been with him through it all. I am blessed to have him and I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for him. He is the single most wonderful person I have every grown to love and the only person I will ever give my whole heart to.
To you, My mate and the man I will share a home with someday, I love you and I cherish every moment we share together.
Tremor…lets share another wonderful year together.
I am blessed, with friends and family, I have been granted another wonderful year with the man that I love and even if I may have been sad sometimes. I keep that smile on my face knowing that it makes someone happy.
I plan not to make any new years resolution other then to create more art for all of you to enjoy. Everything else I simply leave up to the philosophy of taking it one day at a time. I’ve grown into the kind of person that doesn’t let my dreams of a perfect life lead me down an unrealistic path. Ive turned into a person that has learned to appreciate the day I wake into. Living every minute as best I can and hope that when it ends I have no real regrets. I already know who im going to spend the rest of my life with, so that’s one questioned answered, as for the rest…I won’t try and predict my future…but I will look at today and see where tomorrow leads me.
Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to read this. I hope I have given you something good to think about and some advice worth keeping.
Im really looking forward to what’s to come in the next year. But most of all, I hope to continue to share it with all of you and that you enjoy what I share.
This is TKC2021 wishing everyone a Happy New Year, Lets make it a good one. *Sending out big hugs to everyone*
Announcements and Notices
Requests: I am officially shutting down requests. After receiving several over the last week I realized that unless I start saying "No" I will never be done and I won't be able to move on to more personal projects. I've got some projects that have been placed up on the shelf due to all the request that I have agreed to and I think it’s about time I prioritized on what matters to me this time around. I like doing art for you guys and all, but now is the time when id really like to do what I want to do.
As for those of you who have already received conformation from me about doing a pic for you then you don’t have to worry. You’ve already been added to my list and so you’ll get your pic as soon as I'm done with it.
Art Trades: I have a few in the process right now and I'm not open to any at the moment. But as soon as I'm done Trades will happen on a first come first serve basis.
Commissions: At the moment I am not open to commissions of any kind. I'm still a little iffy with my art and once I feel it’s actually worth somebody’s money that’s when I’ll announce if I’ll be accepting. A few major factors will determine when it’ll happen but I'm aiming for the end of the year.
Gift art: well….its gift art. It’ll be a surprise for you guys if you get it and it’ll happen sporadically. *winks*

Optimism
