Yay I'm Back!

1 min read
It's been almost Two Years since I've been on DA, and allot has happened.

My Father got worse, had to leave my childhood home and move to a completely different area in the hopes of saving his life. It only prolonged it. He passed May 14th 2014. It's been a year.

I've drifted, been lost, damn near gave up.

But I'm here. So that's something.

And that's the short version. 

I'll be posting more and getting back into the swing of things. Hope everyone is doing well :)

Apologies for my disappearance...things have been rather rough since the last time I posted. I've lost several more loved ones and my Father's health started to severely decline in February, right after I lost yet another loved one to her long battle with Cancer. 

I've been struggling to keep the two part time jobs that I have, while driving a 44 year old Impala (Just paint the Supernatural Impala white and that's my Ellie) that's recently started showing her age... While also trying to take care of my Dad, which barely gives me any time to function.

Seeing as it appears I'll be stuck at home more often, I'll be able to sneak on here now and again to post my artistic goodness like I used to.

Hope everyone is doing well.

It's 6:22am and I have yet to sleep...that's what energy drinks+coffee will do to ya XD

I know it's been awhile since I've updated... And I've only uploaded a few things here and there, mostly because it's been...stressful. My Nuna (Grandma) became very sick, almost over night...and literally passed away just days before I was supposed to go out and see her in early October. She had developed Cancer...

I'm still...dunno, grieving I s'pose... We were pretty close...and I wasn't always able to just go and see her, seeing as she lived with my Mom and my Mom happens to live 2 hours away.

Also, I stopped comin' to DA prior to all that happening because I didn't get a Virus just once from the ads on here, but Twice. And the second time, I was forced to completely wipe the hard drive and reboot the computer. Sadly, I don't have proper upgrade discs so I'm limited to do certain things on here now which wasn't an issue before.

Allot'a personal things were happening too... I'm sure everyone's been going through their dry patches; not enough money, etc.

I guess it was just a rough year last year.

Hopefully you'll see more of me on here :)

Anyhoo, it's about 6:33am now and I'm still not tired...so I'm going to attempt to find something mindless to do so I can get tired and eventually get to sleep.

My body attempted to wake me at 7am...but I refused to pull myself awake until someone knocked on my door 30 mins later. Bad dreams still swirling through my head, the emotions fresh as I Zombie-walked into the bathroom for my morning ritual.

I finally got my first cup of coffee, my mood anything but cheery, and sat down to try and get myself to wake up.

Doing my usual rounds on the internet; checking emails and what not, I finally find myself here and see that I've managed to reach my 8,000 mark.

Wow...just the smallest thing has brought a smile to my face.

Now hopefully my body will match my brain in the waking up process and I'll finally be able to get muh shilly butt into a hot shower ^_^

Well my lovelies, I first want to apologize for my absence. Many things have been dancing through my life in a chaotic rhythm, which have been my distraction for the past few months, otherwise I would've updated much sooner.

As those of you may have noticed, I have uploaded a few things, but not as many as I would've liked to. For those that Enjoy my work, I want to say a very Big Thank You. I am humbled by how many truly do like my artwork, even if it is not as good as I would like it to be :)

I've also suffered a severe Creative block; in drawing, digital art & photo manipulation as well as writing. It's also been a struggle to enjoy the things that normally come naturally to me. I believe I have also suffered from a period of depression (Due to a few very negative things that have happened) and my brain tried in desperation to keep me sane by attempting to shut down my chaotic emotions so I could function. That numb state of mind we sometimes experience after something traumatic occurs and we're so overwhelmed we can do nothing more than observe the world in silence.

Even playing video games, that I truly enjoy because they take my mind off of everything...was a challenge. I had to force myself to try, otherwise I felt it was useless. Like I said...it's been a struggle.

Now, no more than 7 days 'til one of my absolute favorite Holidays of the year, I am feeling a great deal better^_^ And hopefully, will start creating again.

I'm still at odds with 'who' I'll be for Hallowe'en this year... Mostly due to lack of funds, which everyone is experiencing right now. But I think I'm going to go for a Fortune-Telling, Gypsy-like, Hippie. I've got the clothes and jewelry for it, so it should be easy to put together.

Alright muh lovelies, I shall now bid thee anon and hopefully have something new for you within the next few days. :love:

-Adieu
