Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do! Thank you for showing the world the honest parts of yourself. It is so refreshing to hear that vulnerability and that rest takes time. Always know you can take as much time as you need, your fans will understand!!! I wish I could fly to Japan to help you with any of the business stress!!!

Burnout is tough, I'm glad you were kind to yourself. I've had to take almost a full year to recover, working in contract roles can be stressful but thankfully I had saved up enough money to stay home while recovering. I'm looking forward to seeing the Patreon goodies once they arrive, how do you keep coming up with such cute designs? I love Pepper and everything you draw so much. Take care of yourself! ✨

[@lovesoup.studio]

Thank you Koshiko, I hope you are feeling much better as well! May this year be kinder to us ❤️

You did so well when you faced your burnout, Sai - you found ways to fill your cup before you could pour it out again! Sending you many hugs - happy 2023! January started off slowly for me as well and it really help to go with the flow, not force myself to be a certain expected way.

[@lovesoup.studio]

Thank you! May the rest of the year be kind to us 💚💚

Not only sometimes, but ALL the time we need to leave control and trust the process. ❤🎉

So true! 🥹

[@nezzydoodles]

I definitely felt the same way as you did at the beginning of 2023. Too much on going projects on my plate and I haven't opened my ipad for drawing too. So I started to do day by day and even planning my own reward to look forward to like playing games when I finish some to do list for short term and planning vacation for long term reward. Fortunately it made me finished my todos one by one and opened my ipad to draw again. we can get through this 😊

[@lovesoup.studio]

We’ve got this ❤️❤️❤️💪

Hello my dear friend, I hope you are doing well. Thank you for creating this video, especially as a fellow artist, I can absolutely relate to the struggles and ups and downs that we get to experience. Still, as I read in Steven Pressfield's book Art of War - we have to be resilient and accept the struggles this life brings. You are doing great. Wishing you all the best :)

[@lovesoup.studio]

Thank you! ❤️
