2014 came and went, and it was one of my toughest years yet. Two of my babbies passed away within a few months of each other--our 10 year old Border Collie, Duke, and our 12 year old German Shepard mix, Dutchess. This, on top of my struggle with depression, made it difficult to continue with school. I was hospitalized for 5 days on a suicide watch, or a 5150 if you're in the know. I wasn't able to finish this last semester at university.
I've learned a lot about myself over this last year. Depriving myself of the G/t community only deepens my depression. So, enough with this downer news. I'm back, and I hope to be putting out a lot of art and writing.
I have been working on My Brother's Keeper, as well as drawing in my spare time. So expect some of that.
But, my goodness, dA sure has changed!!

The Community?
Is it just me, or is the G/t community on here a mere ghost of what it used to be? I am not one to complain, considering my activity has been lackluster at best these past few years.
I decided to brush the cobwebs off my old Tumblr, since it seems like that's where everyone has migrated. Not to worry, I'm not leaving here. I feel like dA's system of organizing your work is much more cohesive. I can't imagine posting My Brother's Keeper over there properly. But in any case, if you're on there, feel free to follow me, or let me know your URL so I can follow you as well. :)

This is a Journal
A shocker, I know. Who would have thought that this is a journal??
Good luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo this year! End of week 1, going into week 2! I'm attempting a modified version myself so as not to get discouraged, hopefully.
Anyway, I just wanted to put out a journal that wasn't over 2 years old. I'm not sure what I want to put here...
So have a picture of my doggers instead.
Hello again
What has it been... *checks page* over 2 years since I last uploaded a journal? 4,000+ notifications to sift through (like 98% of those are watch messages). Gah... Just a warning, this journal might be a bit emo or whatever, so please disregard it if that't not your thing.
So, some big changes have happened in my life. I'm taking a semi-permanent break from school. It took a while from me to learn, but living away from home and away from my dogs doesn't work well for me. So until I am in a place where I can finish school with the support I need, I'll be working to pay off my loans...
I have a serious problem where my insecurities keep me
Is the G/t interest genetic?
When I meet up with Kindii (https://www.deviantart.com/kindii), we talked about all sorts of things. Lots of things I've already forgotten about. I should have written this sooner, lol... One topic we talked about was if being interested in G/t could be genetic.
Personally, my parents couldn't interested the least in G/t. However, my older brother Luigi1up (https://www.deviantart.com/luigi1up) is slightly interested. But, as he once told me, "I think it's cool. But I'm not crazy obsessed like you are, sis." We grew up on shows like George Shrinks, so I felt safe when I first told him, many years ago.
I also have a cousin that I'm very close to who, after I explained what G/t was all about, he said that

I've been there too and I know how rough it is. I dealt with manic depression for about a year and have had off and on anxiety disorder symptoms. And yet it still hasn't stopped me from being in another country. I know it's miserable so I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers.
