You mean you have quibbles with Nibbles?

I love this 💜

"You were Romeo, I was a Scarlet Letter"

Juliet, you are failing English class

And now it's that Taylor Swift Romeo and Juliet song, Muzak Version, which to this day has one of the stupidest lyrics I've ever heard in a song

Thank you for reading this, thank you for your support and friendship, and thank you for being you.

So. Yeah. I don't know fully where I'm going with this. I guess I'm just...putting it out there in hopes that if anyone feels like helping and is able to, they will, while I'm trying to get my shit together.

I am finally in therapy, at least, and have officially received my long-awaited ADD diagnosis. I'm trying to get medication for that next, which will hopefully help, because all of this is...pretty crippling, to put it mildly.

I dislike asking for "money for nothing" but I am having to face the fact that my late parents left me with many burdens, many debts, and little to no resources or tools to deal with any of it.

What I do not currently plan to do is another Gofundme. I don't have a specific monetary goal set, nor do I want to keep seeming like I'm constantly begging for help...though the irony here is not lost on me.

I'm also considering taking on writing commissions, but I don't know yet what the rates and content guidelines on that would be

In addition, I still have my Ko-Fi for one-off donations: ko-fi.com/stokerbramwell and that's not going anywhere anytime soon. Perhaps I might integrate this with the Patreon and YouTube plans somehow.

My plans for this are still developing, but people seem to like hearing my talk about my various interests and passions, so I'm thinking right now that it is going to support things like YouTube video essays and the like.

So what am I gonna do? Several things. First of all, in addition to the Patreon for my comic, which you all already know (and if you don't, just ask) I am starting a new Patreon for other endeavors: patreon.com/c/stokerbram...

But, at the moment, I am still drowning in debts. Mortgage, credit card, internet and cell phone and power bills...they're all behind, they're all piling up, and my employment prospects are still not looking great.

And the unavoidable conclusion that I've come to is that it is way past time that I moved on from this place, this phase, and started something new. It's been almost eight years since my mother died and almost two since my father. It's time to let go and go forward.
