Before you read this, just know that it's going to get pretty depressing. I don't like posting depressing things on my dA and such, and usually never do, but I just really feel the need to this time. I'll just go down the list; not all of it's depressing, but yeah.
1: Before school ended in Spring, I was offered to illustrate a comic. I accepted.
2: Found my long-lost crush of 5 years during the last month of school. He eventually became my first ever boyfriend.
3: Had much fun spending time with him during the Summer. Even went to a faire with my family and him.
4: During and before the summer I had much anxiety and resentment towards my own art. Actually for the past few years or so, but the recent months especially.
5: I achieved no major Summer goals. Didn't learn how to drive (and still didn't even drive a car for the first time!) and didn't start doing commissions. In fact, I didn't draw much of anything...!
6: My anxiety of failing my art has gotten so bad, I can't even bare to draw Swabawy... She's like, the funnest character of mine to draw, and I can't.
7: I did hardly anything towards the comic. I still can't bring myself to come clean about not being able to do it, but at this rate I probably won't before the deadline this September...
8: I discovered that I'm now in an inescapable loop of regret and unproductivity. I feel obligated to finish requests and gifts to others, but I fear I can't do it right so I do nothing. I want to draw things for myself, but I feel I must draw things for others.
9: My dad died..... He past on the 9th. I made the Obituary pamphlets for the service (the second time I made Obituaries, now), the service being last Saturday.
10: My family is now at great risk of losing our home because the bills are stacked higher than ever, and we already had to spend so much for the funeral service.
11: If we lose our home, I'll probably have to drop school for the semester.
12: At this rate, this year will be just as bad, if not worse than 2010 was.
13: I like all the classes I got this semester, enough. I'm finding Beginning Ceramics & Sculpture to be rather therapeutic because I get to be creative without worrying as much about failure.
14: My boyfriend will be moving very soon, thus making it a long-distance relationship.
15: One of his two dogs died yesterday. His brother got a puppy one or two weeks before.
16: I feel very inadequate and pressured about just about everything in my life right now...
17: I feel like a failure in many regards. I feel like I contribute hardly anything to my family. I feel like a lazy, selfish, stupid girl who needs to grow up.
18: Growing up is hard.
And that was my summer.

I did it
My life has improved significantly since my last journal here. I achieved all of my major goals for this year in getting proper psychology diagnoses, a new coding job with amazing benefits, and moving out for the first time to a nice home. I can finally breathe now... I've been meaning to write this for some weeks now, I suppose I just needed time to adjust a bit and let the relief really sink in. So much has happened... Looking back, I pulled some hefty miracles to make it all happen as it did. I was out of state for the new job alone for seven weeks just days right after we moved! Now I'm working remotely in my little home office and just so, so happy we've achieved this level of comfort together. And, AND, my right knee is so much better now! I can sleep on my left side for the first time in 4 years! Not completely comfortably yet, but still just the fact I can at all is itself a miracle. After years of trying other solutions such as going to the doctor, getting an X-Ray and MRI
Hard times
Hello. This is definitely my longest hiatus from DA yet, a year and a half's time? Almost two years? Things went up in flames at the end of 2021, so I'm still living the affects of it. 2022 my New Year's Theme was Self-Care and Rest, so that's partly why I dropped certain spaces and projects for a while. I was a bit active on a few Discord servers, but I haven't found somewhere I feel completely comfortable yet so that didn't last too long. I still like Deviant Art. I really do. But it's just not the same as it once was when I was a tike, it doesn't encourage community quite the same anymore... At this point I'm not sure if any site will be like DA once was, because the Internet climate as a whole has changed so much since then. That's besides the point, just rambling my thoughts here. 2023 my New Year's Theme is Improvement. And I've really been making good on that goal so far. Refinanced my car and have been saving for bigger things. I may not reach those goals till next year
Maybe Not So Free...
I've been meaning to write this for several months now, I keep just.. not. Yeah, that's English alright. TL;DR: I've been going through a series of extreme ups and downs. So it seems like I've been a ghost for over half a year again. I think this is my longest record yet. ^^; It's not like I have to explain myself or anything, I can just post whenever or not, but I just feel compelled to I guess... Since October, I've had many ups and downs. This is always the case, but the past year these have been on the more extreme sides of the spectrum. - Firstly, I was wrong about being freer since I'm out of school, it's been the opposite what with adjusting to work life. I hardly ever maintained a perfect attendance throughout my school life, I was almost always tardy or completely absent so much to where at one point my mother was threatened with jail time at one point during middle school. (I always had great grades, though!) I was generally much better when I attended a charter school and
I'm Free! 8D
Good evening, Oh wait, this isn't work, I don't have to start my journal like that
