ONCE IN A WHILE. 💌

Happy 2022! What I've been up to the past few days-- 🌷eating, chilling with friends, painting/drawing. 🌷
Thank you so much for being here with me :) I have missed vlogging a lot and I had so much fun making this one. I'm truly sorry for never updating you guys...It's really because I didn't know if I would post again. I haven't been on here for a long time and it's mostly because I'm not as comfortable as I used to be with having my life public anymore. I also want to live in the moment more with friends&family, and I would like to guide my focus mostly into tattooing. While tattooing does take a lot of time, it's something I'm passionate about!
Youtube always started out as a hobby for me, and I do love vlogging and looking back at them. I think that when it started feeling as a full time job to me, that's when I started to dislike it. Through my time in art school, it helped me stay focused and motivated a lot. I wasn't feeling the best mentally and youtube really helped a lot. Once I started my gap year, I panicked a little and added too many things to my plate, and ended up feeling overwhelmed and burnt out in a short amount of time (youtube, patreon, my shop, tattooing, etc.) Honestly, I didn't know how to handle doing nothing and I wanted to do everything. I'm learning how to take things slowly, day by day! I was also a bit scared to pick up the camera after such a long time but creating this vlog was very comforting and I hope you like this little surprise :) While I definitely won't be consistent at all with my uploads, I hope you all will enjoy little surprise vlogs from time to time. I do see all of your comments on instagram! Again, I didn't have a definite answer to when or whether I would post again so I just avoided answering them. I was very surprised to see that so many of you still care for me and I'm really grateful for all of you.
As for art school, it's something that I do miss from time to time and I do have my regrets for the time I spent there. At the moment, I do think that I made the right decision to take a break for college. My take is that since I found a job that I'm passionate about, I should pursue it. Who knows though, maybe I'll go back to school for something else in the future :D Just my thoughts though-- I fully support anyone that wants to go to art school or is in it already.
As for tattooing, I'm super excited and happy to start a private studio with my coworker/friend Kat (@katkatink)! I didn't say it in the video--but honestly there was some shared problems with the owners/the way that they are running the studio that I'll keep private. A bit paranoid about them watching this video haha. I know I said that I would document the process of the space but there's so much stuff we need to do that I feel a little chaotic/overwhelmed again, but we'll see C: I still have a lot to learn and improve on and I'm super excited to continue this journey :D
Thank you so much for reading this. I'm very grateful for all of the support you guys have given me and I hope you guys support this decision that I've chosen to make.
Stay healthy and happy c:
Love,
Jasmine
