Picture this: I, an intrepid artist with the focus of a laser beam, am on a quest. A quest of epic proportions. My brain, you see, is like a whirlwind of creativity, and as an autistic person, it's like trying to tame a tornado with a butterfly net when it comes to prioritizing.
When I set my sights on something, I'm like a dog with a bone. I give it my all, my everything, my very essence. I draw like Michelangelo on a double espresso. I draw until my fingers are mere nubs and my eyes are as dry as the Sahara.
And today, my dear friends, the exhaustion hit me like a freight train. I sat down to draw, and lo and behold, I couldn’t even draw a straight line. It was like my hand had joined a rebellion against the rest of my body.
Now, in days of yore, this would be the moment where I’d spiral into a Shakespearean tragedy, complete with dramatic monologues and a fit of rage that would make a Viking warrior proud.
But, enlightenment has graced me with its presence. I now know that my brain, like a fine wine, needs to breathe. Just last week, I had a similar meltdown. After a storm of frustration, a little voice inside me whispered, "Maybe you overdid it, genius." I took a day off, and by the powers of the art gods, I was back in action the next day.
So, I hereby declare that tomorrow shall be a day of rest. My iPad and I are taking a break - it's like a Ross and Rachel situation, but less dramatic. Monday, I shall return, refreshed and ready to wrap up the Indiegogo campaign. The pre-launch is on the horizon, and I can almost taste it.
Stay tuned, my friends, for the next chapter in this thrilling saga. 🎨✨
