Wowzers!

It looks like I make a journal post like once a year now, doesn't it?

I was quite gobsmacked looking at my pageviews today. Its really quite amazes me that so many people have taken the time and looked at my art on this small corner of the web. Its truly humbling and I'm so greatful for all the comments, views and favourites I have recieved.

I know I don't post much these days. But truely I still love it when I can. Drawing, even though its what most people would call "stupid weaboo poop" is such a joy to me. The times I can draw are the times I feel the most stress free.

I am currently apprencticing as a funeral director/embalmer (Yes, seriously). and so my life is often very busy and very emotional, and I don't mean that in a bad way at all. As I've been in this role, I've greatly grown as a person and can appreciate what it means to take care of people when they are at their worst (Even though most people have this perception that we're money grubbers - but that's a rant for another day and another can of worms ;) ). But like I've stated it can be pretty exhausting, if not exciting.

But like I said, being able to draw and share my art here, whenever possible, makes me so happy.

Thank you everyone for your continued support.
Much Love :heart:

Hi everyone its been a long time! B)

Lots has been happening for me! Obviously the reason I haven't been putting up much stuff.

So where do I start?

Well to start off I got another MRI done last week and I should hear back from my doctor soon. Here's hoping its good news!

But the main reason I've been so inactive, is well, I finally got a full time job that I really enjoy.
Its kind of funny actually. It was something I was always interested in doing but when I graduated I didn't feel I was quite mature enough for it. Hence why I went to college for Pharmacy Technician.
Well I did that for a but but quite honestly, I didn't feel like it was quite right for me. I often felt like an over glorified cashier, and that isn't a problem per say, but it just wasn't for me, and I wasn't enjoying it.

But, as luck would have it, I decided to do some job searching and with some stroke of luck I found my entry into something I was always interested in doing.
 Funeral Home Worker. I know its super crazy to think that some one who draws cute anime stuff would want to partake in a profession like that. I have to say though, its been very rewarding.

Not everything has been roses, but things are looking up for me. I already got a promotion and my bosses are thinking about sending me off to school next year.
Awesome stuff!

Still, I don't know what the future will hold, but I'm always hopeful. Hopefully I will put out more art here soon. I actually have some stuff that's almost completed, and hopefully soon I'll get around to actually completing it lmao.

Stay awesome everyone! and happy (late) Halloween! B)

Hello everyone :)

I've been debating creating this journal for awhile now, mainly because it involves a subject that has been hard for me to really talk about. But I honestly feel so terrible because I know some people may be thinking that I've been ignoring them, but its not the case. I just have a lot on my plate and DA has not been on the forefront of my mind.

Anyways, the reason I've been absent is after many months of dealing with health problems is, I've been diagnosed with a pituitary tumour.
Its honestly been something that has been very difficult to discuss for me. Although its likely benign, its still very scary to think of something like that being in my head.

I've tried hard to keep personal issues off of DA and the internet in general but I really do feel awful that I have people sending me notes and comments and I just can't seem to reply to them. Its not because I don't want to, because I do. It makes me so happy that people are so interested in my art. But without getting into too much detail, I just have such a lack of energy and motivation (among other things).

I hope everyone understands and I deeply appreciate everyone's continued support. :heart:
and thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read my rambling of a post. :hug:
