Making My Way Back (Update)
/Let me just start by saying. I’m feeling much better and thank you so much to those of you who wished me well during this time. I’m sorry for the radio silence, It was just necessary that I take whatever time I needed to realign myself.
Some clarifications
I just wanted to clarify some things. I apologize if I made it sound like it was because a couple people criticized my art, that I fell apart like that. That’s NOT what happened. Please understand, I have had many other things going on in my life that I don’t share with people online. I don’t think I have to remind anyone that life sucks. This past month in particular, I found myself suffering in more ways than one. Pushing me into an extremely vulnerable state. So when people decided to throw some negative critiques at me, it hurt more than usual. The best way I can explain it, is to metaphorically picture me half dead while bleeding out on the ground do to completely separate circumstances. Only to be followed by someone coming along and kicking me in the stomach while saying “Oh BTW, your art sucks.” It was more like the finishing blow/cherry on top to an already crappy situation. IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE. It just pushed me over the edge emotionally at the worst possible moment. I just feel like I need to clarify that, because it seemed most people felt I was being overly sensitive to a generic internet critique and I’m sorry if it came off that way.
Either way, I’ll try not to let it happen again.

What’s changing?
Since I posted that last update, I’ve been struggling to figure out what I wanted to do and after giving it considerable thought, here’s the plan. …Keep Reading?
