I’m Back! (Also I need help with smth :3)

Hey guys! So let me just say that I’m feeling much better, my medical condition has died down for the most part so I feel good enough to make bots again! During this time I was just feeling really depressed and hurt because of everything going on but for the most part I feel okay. The lil pup you see on the thumbnail (I think that’s what those are called?) is my lil baby boy King, who just turned 3 years old on the 10th so yay! He got some new toys and a birthday cookie from some family for him and his cousins and brother (they’re just my cousins dogs and my other dog but shh-) so he had a lot of fun. He’s really obsessed with this one plushie toy (not the one in the thumbnail) that my mom got him so safe to say that he was spoiled lol. I would’ve bought him something but I’ll explain more below.

Anyway, the main reason I’m making this is because 1. I wanted to announce that I’m back and 2. I need some help or advice from somebody and I figured I’d be able to get it here since I’m not entirely sure where to start and I don’t get much interaction on my other social medias 😅 (if you want them then just ask)

So I’m running pretty low on money, I only have about $100 in my account now. I used to be in this training program in my school but I have graduated and I’m not sure if this program I’m going to next year will let me take it. When I graduated, I left with about $800-$600 in my account (I don’t exactly remember). I don’t enjoy spending my money but my other dog, Bruno, had been pretty bad with a ear infection and just not feeling good overall and King had some appointments as well. They do have pet insurance but sometimes there’s additional stuff to pay so I spend my money on that. My parents pay for it when they can but sometimes they need me to do it so that’s basically how all my money went. My parents try to pay me back when they can but I feel pretty guilty taking their money, especially since they actually have stuff to pay off. I’m partially at fault because if my brother wants some fast food or something then I buy it for him then something for myself too and I also like giving gifts and we’ve had a lot of birthdays in the past few months so that’s also my bad, I’m kinda stupid for that but I do try to save when I can (really backfired since I’m so low now-).

So that’s why I’m pretty low. I would get a job but I’m not exactly in a good place to be having a job especially since my medical condition is pretty random and I would miss school for weeks due to it so I can’t imagine having a job with this right now. I also have a lot of anxiety and self-esteem issues that I need to work through with my therapist and my mom’s comments on them doesn’t help since she makes me feel disappointed all over again when she tells me I’m not putting in any effort to better myself, which pretty much brings me back to the start all over again.

To sum it up, I just need a way to make money and I have considered opening up art commissions and charging maybe $1-$5 to start out but I’m quite unsure of how to start or if anybody would even commission me. Another thing I’ve been considering is opening up a ko-fi and maybe ask for a dollar or so to prioritize people’s requests on either bots or edits (I do ship edit requests on TT). I just want some way to be able to make some money and I’m hoping someone could help me out here!

I’ve seen other creators use ko-fi on here so I’m thinking maybe I can too? If this is sounding like I’m selfish or money-hungry, I really do apologize as that is not my intention. If this really offends some people then I will take it down but I’m just hoping to get some way to make even a little bit of money.

If you made it this far then thank you for letting me ramble, next bot should be coming soon! (I said I had some ideas before I left so those will be my priority until I hopefully get some help or just want to start on them! 😉)
