00:00:00: Welcome back to new episode of sweet but salty the bliss point of podcasts.

00:00:05: As you can tell, I speak at a normal volume which is incredible!

00:00:12: i'm using my normal microphone which is even more incredible and... i'm finally releasing a new episode.

00:00:19: so there are three things that are incredible Even though i was contemplating not releasing anew episode because download numbers were going up without me actually releasing new episodes, so I thought i could also just take a break or prolong my unforeseen break.

00:00:39: But yeah here we are!

00:00:41: So...I can't believe it but I'm off puppy duty now for a bit?

00:00:46: For another half an hour maybe?

00:00:50: Yeah..i wanted to take the opportunity and talk to you and tell you a little bit about what has been going on.

00:00:58: So in my last two episodes I actually talked about life with a puppy, that we got a puppy the first place... And um.. What That Has Actually Done To Me!

00:01:12: Which is that it has caused a tremendous amount of sleep deprivation?

00:01:18: Yeah i'm just noticing definitely taking a toll on my body because this has been going on for four weeks now and it's getting better and better, because now we're finally at home.

00:01:32: My brother is here to help with the puppy... And yeah he is also just being calmer and more relaxed- the puppy not my brother but potentially both!

00:01:45: But I was talking about the puppy so I think he's feeling very good and kind of got used to the new environment really, really fast.

00:01:54: so that is good.

00:01:57: So things are going pretty well.

00:02:01: we're progressing daily...so thats great!

00:02:06: what else I could talk about?

00:02:07: because this has taken up so much space in my mind and life lately.

00:02:13: And i've already talked about what i've learned from having a puppy, So... What i've also noticed in my life above the things that i've learnt is that i miss drawing SO MUCH!

00:02:25: I miss art..I miss creating ..i miss making ...things....and it's just really important for me to carve out the time To do those things because i don't function well if I don't have this creative outlet kind of to balance myself out.

00:02:43: and um yeah it's just a profound realization that art has become such a substantial part of my life, because when I was younger I used to draw a lot but not regularly.

00:02:56: If you know what I mean like...I would have bouts creative outpours, where I had like times when i was creating a lot and then at times when I was creating less.

00:03:07: And when I were studying design that was the first time it kind of got into a rhythm where...I was forced to create obviously for the projects that we do every semester.

00:03:20: so last year mid last year I actually started a challenge for myself where i would set myself the challenge of being creative every single day and mostly, i was drawing something or dabbling with paint.

00:03:37: but i found that drawing is really my thing.

00:03:41: there's nothing wrong with it at all!

00:03:44: there might be people who say that drawing isn't art.

00:03:48: I don't care, it's my current way of expressing myself and expressing my creativity in bringing to life the pieces & pictures i have in mind.

00:03:59: so why not go down that road?

00:04:02: And explore what is possible.

00:04:04: So...I did The Challenge last year up until mid-this year!

00:04:11: That kind of triggered this passion inside me.

00:04:15: I haven't lain dormant for years.

00:04:17: Like, i really need to make things now and...I haven't been able do that in about a month right?

00:04:26: Which is fine because special times always occur And there's moments when you can't really do what used to be done Because circumstances have changed.

00:04:36: But..i definitely wanna create the time To draw again podcasting regularly now that I can tag team with my brother, it's pretty chill comparatively too.

00:04:52: and um i'll make sure to bring out new episodes regularly.

00:04:57: And yeah we're pretty close to Christmas!

00:05:01: We are only two months out so maybe there will be a special this year or two?

00:05:08: Last year I did A Secret Santa Christmas Special Sweet but Salty.

00:05:12: Maybe This Year I'll Do Special as well But we shall see.
