Part 2 of my quick sketches of the tabletop rpg game Wanderhome. Meet Reginald the Bold. He was once a proud general of the rebellion but now is just slowly declining while hiding from the world government. Is he ailing from a mysterious illness or a broken heart? Who can say?

What is true is that he has not seen his brother in arms, Reginald the Underlined, in many years. He will never know if his brother is dead or just laying low...

Played a tabletop rpg called Wanderhome that is absolutely adorable. Think Zootopia with a fantasy adventure twist. Sometimes I just want to play something warm and cozy. This is a quick sketch of the characters in my party.

I'm learning to be kinder to myself. I have always struggled with very intense self-criticism. I often feel like I cannot rest without thinking I'm just a lazy person and when I do finally rest, I am overwhelmed with guilt. This type of thinking is so damaging and results in me burning myself out which means I am able to do less overall.

So I am trying to adopt a healthier mindset. Even if I am feeling lazy one day, what's so wrong with that? Humans are complex and we are made up of many facets that change from moment to moment. I am not a lazy person. I am just having a lazy moment. Sometimes I just feel like lounging on the couch but other times I want to deep clean my entire home. All of it is okay.

Self-care is not selfish.

Hello everyone,

I have been away and inactive for a very long while. I don't think I am ready to do much more than this, but I would like to share some recent thoughts with which I am truly struggling. The healing process is long and full of setbacks, but I am making my way slowly down that road.

There are many things I still haven't been able to confront, but I will come out on the other side of this one day. I have to believe I will.
