Oh life...

I need to get in a better habit of posting things on here and keeping it active. Life has been quite busy, keeping me from really accomplishing anything art wise. Will be quite happy when it's over...

I guess I'll post a couple of things I did in the last couple of months. I have photos of more formal work but need better photos. >.<"

I am currently reading Harry Potter for the first time in my life.

Am nearly half way through The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Did not expect myself to love what I've read so far as much as I do.

No wonder they became so popular.

huh...

side note: my room is very VERY cold. *crawls under layers of blankets*

Gonna see how this goes..

So..I'm starting a new blog; going to see how this works for me. After becoming rather self conscious about posting my art and personal stuff up on the internet, my mentor convinced me to started posting on a blog again....for my art at least. lol

And since I "got rid" of my Facebook for awhile, I can use this to occupy any non-existent free time I have. 

So.....we'll see, I guess.....FIRST POST!

I'll even include a picture! :P

Title: The Calling 

Pastel and charcoal on paper..

I don't think in any year of my life, have I had a song that strikes me so much, that means so much to me, that speaks louder of who I am than Ellie Goulding's song. Never has a piece of music been so...important to me. No matter how many times I have listened to this song, in a shop, on the radio, or even from my own control, I never get tired of it.

Depression is something most people suffer from at one point of their life and it is something that has followed me since I was a little girl. It brought me to extremely dark and rather frightening states of mind...

...and yet, a voice always told me to keep going and appreciate the little things that happen.

I would not be able to love the hell out of my siblings or be able to spend most of every weekend in the company of a wonderful, beautiful man whom I love and am thankful for, more than he'll ever know. Most importantly I wouldn't be able to create worlds..and learn new things.

and even when those days are gone, I'll look back on them extremely happy that I lived long enough to see and experience them.
No depth or degree of darkness that can ever take that away from me.
