Was 2016 the worst year?

2023 was… okay. Mixed feelings. I spent six months recovering from creative burnout and trying to learn a new profession. In the end, I’m back where I started, only now I’m not even drawing comics. It feels like I wasted a lot of time.
There are some positives, though. I did learn a few things, and I’ve become much more stable psychologically, so maybe all is not lost.

But the worst years for me were 2020-2021. I have no idea how I didn’t completely lose it back then.
