Hey guys! It's been awhile since my last sporadic journal/art post, but I'm back to give everyone an update before I probably disappear again for like 6 months lol. I'm doing pretty good! Moved from Washington to Illinois to be with my boyfriend, I'm starting college up again, and finally learning to drive! These last 2 years have been a big period of growth for me, I've come a long way from being the miserable and scared girl I used to be. It's nice to finally be in a place where I'm not just struggling to keep my head above water, and even though I still struggle from time to time, I'm honestly pretty happy!

However, I'm sure you guys have noticed my steady decline in art and activeness on DA these last 6 (give or take) years. The truth is DA is somewhat of a source of stress for me. I think I put a lot of pressure on myself to try and be active and post art frequently when I'm on here, and I just don't think that's good for my health. It really sucks though, because I love DA! I grew up on here, and I've met so many amazing people (including my BFF sketchris ) and I don't want to leave all of this behind. I'm so incredibly sorry for not replying to everyone's comments. I want to reply to them all, but sometimes I get caught up in other responsibilities and forget to reply, and then I feel like I can't reply after such a long time. You guys have all been so cool and nice, I hate to leave you all hanging. I've made a lot of friends on here, and there are some people I've really been looking forward to getting to know better, but it's been hard keeping up with my life and this site. I do want to come back, but it could be a long time before I'm really able to.

I'm still drawing, though! Spending time away from DA has made it easier for me to enjoy making art and be less critical of myself. I don't really feel like I constantly have to put out content regularly. I can make art because I want to, not because I have to. I was in a rough place regarding my art for awhile but it's slowwwllyyy getting better. I have several scribbles I want to finish, and maybe I'll be brave enough to post them sometime! ;v;

Thanks for being so patient everyone, I really appreciate it~!
