Small vent I had for a while, just never got around to finishing it until now. Been fighting burnout since January, and it’s gotten harder to deal with ever since. Even worse since I had to take yet ANOTHER summer class, yeah it was only one but it still took a lot out of me. I had to take about 3 or so days just to recharge. Plus I’m scared of the upcoming changes, I just became a junior in college. While I am happy and proud of myself, I’m still honestly terrified about the thought of it. Especially when it all boils down to my core classes now. I don’t know if I’m mentally prepared to deal with it seeing as I’m still having a hard time coping with big changes like this. I’m trying to tell myself to treat it like every other year I’ve moved up back in high school, then I remember how much stress that caused me too. I really hate this feeling, it genuinely causes me so much pain that I can’t handle it. Burnout and overall sensory issues that I experience already have worsened and I don’t want to fail or give up. That’s honestly another thing I fear too. I’ve come so far and I’m not going to give up. But to be honest, I’m running on fumes here. So I drew this in response to the uncertainty that I’m feeling at the moment, coupled with the feelings of sadness and anxiety. I know things aren’t ever going to be the same, and that’s what scares me. It’s the unpredictability that’s killing me. Such as new expectations, schedule changes, environments pretty much everything. I drew Karamatsu and Bluey hugging Kurusu since these shows are getting me through this. Honestly, Bluey and Osomatsu-San are such gems. It’s hard to feel upset whenever I watch them. Osomatsu allows me to laugh during dark times and Bluey soothes me when I need it. I couldn’t have done it without them, so I felt it was most appropriate to feature these two here. All I’m hoping is that things get better soon, and that I’ll adjust smoothly to this year. It’s been rough for me lately, and I don’t know if I can take anymore of this.
