Hey all, still alive here, just been busy working my ass off to get back into a comfy state. But as of the 22nd, I joined the club of 30. I made it, doesn't feel like I'm 30, to be honest. I still feel mentally I'm in my early 20s. Still playing games, acting like a child, and always getting those dino nuggies. I don't think it's a bad thing but looking back from my 18-year-old self and looking at 12 years later what I've accomplished. I could say that it's not much but I honestly feel like it's a lot. From leaving one job and going to another after learning what I'm worth, to learning that you cant always trust coworkers. Learning the hardships of debt and how fast it can accumulate. The biggest one for me is that I managed to escape the wonderful world of California and landed in Arizona with my boyfriend icon:alctraz_was_here: and one other I don't want to mention. Learned a big valuable lesson about free-loading roommates who lie to you about going out for work only to find out they aren't even in the country anymore and do not have money in most cases. Found work that I'm pretty good at that I thought I wouldn't be, then got promoted recently into a lead position. Meeting great friends who helped support us, kept me and icon:alcatraz_was_here: busy with magic the gathering, and the fun world of Warhammer 40k. Yes pricey hobbies but we had to keep ourselves busy with something we could spend what little fun money we could get to enjoy life a bit and not just work ourselves to death. Art unfortunately was something we couldn't get our money's worth out of. Now John and i are starting to get back onto our feet after said roommate taking advantage of us. It's taking some time but we'll get there.

Now I have some personal goals, write more, post the backlog of art, get more art with peeps, and of course with John. I've gotten some art here and there but only cause I was able to get myself something nice that wasn't Warhammer related.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you got down this far
