It's been eight years since my last journal post here and a lot has happened since then. Eight years of physical change. Eight years of mistakes and defeats. Eight years of artistic growth. Eight years to finally realize where to pour my efforts. Eight years that took so long but also felt it passed like a breeze. In that span of time, a lot of growing up has been forced on me. New friends came in, some old friendships died, and some that really mattered stood the test of time. So here I am now. Still here, feeling like a completely different person yet somehow still the same naive and clueless person from eight years ago, and with a new username (!). Despite the years of inactivity here, I never stopped creating art and I feel proud of myself for sticking true to my craft. So, anyone else still alive?
