I'm pretty sure a whole two years have passed since the last time I was active on here, which is a bit wild. Or a lot of wild.
To update: I'm now only semester away from graduating college! Holy shit!
Since my last post I was trained as a barista at my job, and then a shift-supervisor, I broke up with my old boyfriend and started dating someone significantly better for me - we've now been together a year and he moved in with me a couple months ago, which has been WONDERFUL. I started learning karate and it became a huge and essential part of who I am. I traveled across the country by myself and spent four months in the wilderness of Oregon, from which I'll be posting pictures today! I became ridiculously passionate and angry about social and environmental issues; I became significantly more serious about my art and my writing; I started living on my own for the first time; I shaved both sides of my head and then chopped all of my hair off; I became addicted to video games and then broke the addiction; I started playing Magic the Gathering (which is super fun) and wrote a real shitty novel in the span of a month.
It's been a looong couple years, but so incredibly fun and I've learned so much and grown so much. This last semester will probably be hard, but I'm hoping to have some great art to post on here when it's all over with!
Here's to hoping I actually have followers left!

it's been a long time, Deviantart. Since my last post in the spring, one of my close high school friends, both of my grandpas, and my cat passed away, I started studying Buddhism more seriously, changed my majors and entire career plan, worked 2 terrible summer jobs, found a serious part time job at a coffee shop, started my first ever serious relationship, totaled my car, and considered dropping out of college.
To summarize, it's been crazy, and I have not taken very many photos. All recent photography is from my new iPhone and is not good enough for this site, although they are important to me, as memories. I have not been doing traditional art outside of class, but may post some of that later if I feel like it's good enough.
Mayhaps, over Christmas break, something magical will come from my hands or camera, but until then, continue on good people and check back in and have a lovely holiday.

This is my first time home in a month and a half, which is weird for me, living a half hour from home. First time I've been homesick since starting college.

My soul is tired and the sky is overcast.
