So, I'm sure it's obvious by now that I haven't been totally active on DA for a while. For the past few months, I'd been working on a website update for a client, and just recently obtained a new one that I'm developing a site for. Should be done pretty soon here. So, needless to say, I've been lurking DA while remaining largely inactive.
In addition to the work I've been doing, my boyfriend just broke up with me a few weeks ago- or rather, I discovered that after a couple weeks of our "break" that he decided to completely break it off. I was devastated. I pretty much remained in my room and became uninspired to do anything. I just wanted to drink, sleep, and cry. I'm feeling a lot better now. He and I are working on repairing our friendship before if/when we ever decide to get back together again. But I'll approach that as it comes.
My friends have been incredibly supportive of me, and many have offered to take me out, so that I can feel some sort of happiness again. And although I'm feeling a lot better, I definitely have my days where I just don't want to do anything at all.
The good thing, is that I've started to try and take better care of myself. I began going for nightly walks- walking for at least an hour, and up to two. I'm pretty proud of myself, because I remained pretty sedentary for a long time. I also began changing my diet, by watching my portion sizes, not eating when I'm not hungry, and the like. So, I'm planning on keeping up those good habits, so that I'll start feeling better about myself, and soon won't care whether or not my boyfriend and I reconnect. I'm just going to try and "do me" for now.
In addition to that, my father's VA benefits finally went through! (He filed a claim for disability due to his extensive military service, which allows my sisters and me to attend institutions of higher learning for free) So right now I'm trying to figure out what school I want to go to. I want to be a software developer/engineer.
Anyway, I figured I'd give you guys a little insight into what's been going on lately. I'm planning on slowly working on getting some artwork out again, as I've fallen completely off the wagon for the time being.
Thanks for all your support, you guys!
