An amazing meal

You know that feeling when you've got a million things on your plate, and then the worry of making ends meet creeps in? It drags down your spirit and suffocates your focus.

Every month, just like clockwork, that rent bill comes knocking. But how did I get in this situation?


Opening up about personal struggles, especially when it comes to mental health, is something that's been on my mind for a while now.

This is not easy for me.
There is a weight to it, a fear of judgment or misunderstanding, that makes it hard to find the right words.
But I will try, knowing that I'm not special, I'm not the only one who has been in this situation.


When the last year of "Scuola Superiore" came around, I was faced with a choice:
- either follow the path my parents would support, which meant finding a regular job,
- or pursuing a creative career as a texture artist.
A regular job would've been the most secure path, but that would've meant not making textures anymore.
I knew that by doing so I would've carried the regret of not giving a shot at this.

On the other hand, making textures required me to find a way to pay my own bills. I was on my own.


It took a long period of sacrifices, but eventually things started working in 2019.

I was finally able to sustain myself.

A year later things spiraled down...
I became uncertain about the future and spread myself thin. I lost many relationships, so I distracted myself by starting multiple projects. I lost focus on what matters.


Now I'm finding it challenging to juggle the multitude of projects and commitments I've started.

Coming up with new income solutions takes away time that I could be spending on actually making textures. This is why I'm being so upfront about the issue.

That's why I'm coming to you directly and asking for your support. No sugar-coating, but an honest conversation about the real challenges I'm facing and the genuine need for your help.

Imagine how much lighter and more focused I could be if I didn't have to worry about this month's expenses: instead of crunching numbers and stressing over bills, I could channel that energy into creating actual products to deliver.


I want to go back doing what started this: making textures.


But right now I'm stuck managing the business side of things to earn a living.

I want to keep my work affordable so that it can be enjoyed by as many people as possible. I want to keep a free version available.
I don't fill my website with ads and pop-up windows.

But at this rate I can't keep this up.

So I created this page hoping that I'll be able to get back to doing what I love, knowing that I can provide something in return for your support.

If you understand what it means to face challenges, to go through adversity, this is a way to help me get back on track.

No matter the level of support, whether it's through words of encouragement, sharing content, or contributing financially: I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you.
