Three days ago, I came back home from a burial. In just two weeks, I've lost two family members - people I loved so dearly - people I was so proud of. I still am.

I won’t share details, who and why, because it’s too personal, and the more I talk about it, the more it hurts. It hurts to even think about it. It's devastating.

I was raised in culture that teaches to hide grief, just so as not to disturb people around. And I tried my best, to keep working, to seem fine. Just do my obligations without excuses. Yes, I updated the latest part while mourning and I still draw with even more grief.

Months before she was gone, she told me, "Work hard, be the best artist, and support your loved ones". I know there are things I must finish, and I'll keep that promise no matter how hard it is, even through the pain and emptiness.

It's just I may not interact or engage the way I used to. I’ll still make and share my art at a healthy pace for as long as I can. It's the only duty I have here.

Thank you for your understanding and kindness.
