Take off…!? Go Gregg, Go!
Sorry about the late update again. I did my best to finish it on time but sometimes life gets in the way.
I’ve to admit that the pace of updates might be a bit shake:y now and then. I’ll always aim for 1 page a week, but that’s not really realistic lately. I’ll try to explain without being too personal and dramatic.
I’ve come to a point when I realized that I need to slow down a bit. I’ve always been passionate about work, sometimes with way drastic discipline. But the last couple of years my mind and body have started to show effects that this can’t go on forever. My tinnitus has gotten a lot worse since 1 ½ years back, which have given me a bit of a sleeping disorder and hard time to focus properly. I finally took time and guts to get proper prof. rehabilitation on coping with it. Which means I need to do daily exercises and work out a lot. For now, after I come home from daily work, my well-being is number 1 priority. All other work related obligations and hobbies come next (Försupen being my hobby project
). This has been a really hard decission to make, since working on art and comics on my spare time makes me really really happy. But to stay happy I need to stay healthy. I have been prioritating fun & work before well being and now I need to reverse it for some time.
I’ve been doing this for some weeks now and I am already making progress since I sometimes notice difference in the noise in my ears. Which is a great sign – but I plan on keep doing this for some time to see how much I can reduce it – and control it in the future so it won’t get worse again! I am positive about this!
With that said: like usual, I’ll see you next update! Hopefully soon, ok?














You are doing the one thing I desperately need to do. I know 20 isn’t old but I am feeling the affects of over working and it is not good at all.This and the fact I’ve been stuck in the same state for about 5 years. I NEED CHANGE. It’s good your keeping yourself in shape, though. It’s always best.
Yeah! Remember, Konira, no matter what age it’s really important to take care of your body and mind
I got my hearing disorder/tinnitus back when I was 17 due to straining myself too hard in school and freelancing, a few years after moving from home. I thought since I was young, it couldnt possible be permanent. But it was – and I’ve been stupid to not look it up sooner, but it’s never too late to change your habits and take care of yourself, hon. You can still stay productive.
Maybe not as much, but you will last longer! I have a long way to go but I am starting to feel less stressed out about missing out on stuff and just taking care of myself. And my focus is much better at work and home now.
I understand Karrey. It’s a great choice to let your health come first, you’re doing the right thing
I hope you’ll feel better and more balanced and look forward to the next update whenever it’ll happen
Thanks for your support! <3 I feel a lot better already – even if I miss working on this comic as much as I used to, I truly feel passionate about my new life style and work outs. :3
Hi Karrey! I know exactly how hard you have been working lately and I can understand your situation fully because it’s the same for me right now, but with my arm. It have taken me two years to understand the value of taking it easy with sitting at the computer all day long! Learning 3D was much harder than I was expected and my arm have been taking so much damage. Now I’m try my best keeping down the amount of time spending at the computer each day. I have started to exercise every single day and that feels good for my arm but in my mind I feel frustrated that I don´t work that much I did before. I have plenty of idéas and inspiration to work around the clock but I have come to a point that It’s not possible anymore. So I have quite the same problems as you there. I’m glad you also come to that point so early that you must put your health in the first place!
Take it easy with the updates, you will feel better soon!
Thank you for understanding and supporting Veronica! <3
I hope it’s much better now? I’ve been really fortunate with my arms and hands actually – most of my issues are around my neck, ears and head. Mostly affects my focus and sleeping~ The noise has been going on since 2004 but I have brushed it away as something “not too dangerous” – until last year’s spring when it got worse and I suddenly had a noise in my other ear as well after a period of crunching at work. I was really upset about it for some time – and decided to look it up and get help this summer/fall.
Unhealthyness means unhappiness – and we need to stay happy to gain strength to keep creating~
What’s going on with your arm sounds terrible.
Things are way better now but I think I will need to accept the fact that I have to adjust my life style to make the noise bearable.
I think it’s important for us to try to not think too much about the time we “lose” in taking care of ourselves – because in the long run we will last longer and create a lot of awesome things to come.
*hugs!* Take care of yourself Veronica~
