I.... am ......ALIIIVE!
I can't believe I haven't posted a blog since April. *hides face in shame* News in my world... Another relationship crashed and burned, although not as spectacularly as some in my past, still the little nocturnal creature working my butt off at a local convenience store at night, still saving money to go back to school (It's increasingly tough as my car tends to burn right through what I have saved when it comes to repairs ) Still reading like a madwoman and finding it increasingly difficult to find enough reading material to keep me satisfied, and I've started drawing again. I'm keeping it quiet for the time being because everyone who knew me when I was younger is worried that my art is gone now. My family keeps buying me drawing pads and art kits for Christmas and birthdays trying to get me to take it up again. Part of it was that I lost the desire to draw during a particularly rough patch in my life a few years ago, and part of it was that I was burned out after taking art classes at the University. I found that art wasn't something I could force myself to do, and trying to force it really screwed things up for me. I'm creating gifts for some family members that seem particularly upset that I haven't been expressing myself though art like I used to. I can't wait to see their faces when they see them. I'm not anywhere in my life where I'd like to be, but I also keep in mind that the life I have now is far better than what I had in the past. I have a lot of people around me who care for me very much, and I am grateful.
