#Introductions !
Hey! I'm Ren.

I'm a grey fox, an artist (primarily with watercolor, ink, and acrylics), a nonbinary trans girl, and I dabble in just about everything creative. I also struggle with severe depression and use platforms like this to discuss and process it.

I have a terrible tendency to avoid initiating social interactions, but please, feel free to talk with me! I'll open up rather quickly.

Heya!
If you like my art and want to show some support (or even if you like my ramblings), I have a Ko-fi!

Any contributions are greatly appreciated!
And if you want to show support in other ways, boosts, likes, and comments are always welcome!

Thanks,
Ren

I cannot yet say with certainty that the new medication (bupropion) is working for me. However, my mood has been more stable, more manageable, and far less likely to turn dark since I started taking it. Also, I have been able to focus more on getting things done.

However, I have reached the time of night when I tend to get rather melancholic. While it isn’t much depression contributing to it tonight, my gender dysphoria is acting up.

So I’ll be off to sleep.
Goodnap.

Finally got this sketch to a point I can start adding color! Yay!

I have been attacked by the truth. "If you spent as much time applying for jobs as you spend looking for cute fox pictures, you would have had one a long time ago."

Okay. Time to refocus on positive things.

Also, I cannot be girl, because I will never wear perfume. Just being around people who wear it makes me want to carry a scuba tank so that I can breathe.

I am accompanying someone through a clothing store. There is a mirror every ten meters, and it is dysphoria hell. I couldn’t even get my fur looking good today.

It feels like all the cute people are in Seattle...

I want a friend, dang it!

Hypothesis: Warmer and more humid climates lead to decreased male virility, due to a decrease in the ability of external gonads to cool maturing sperm.

Why do I think about these things? And where's my grant money?

Now why did I want to surround this drawing with clusters of flowers? Couldn’t I have chosen something that takes less work?

Okay I haven't listened to Hamilton in over a year due to some very unfortunate associated memories. Let's see if I can get through it tonight.
