Oh my God.
I've just finished individually deleting all of the previous journals on my account here. For those of you who didn't know, the most journal entry before The Long Journey was from 2012, the ones before that dating back to 2009. Ever wanted to know what it's like to look back to what you were thinking back when you were 15? Spoilers: it ain't pretty.
This is an official apology to anyone who had to deal with me in my adolescence. I don't know how I was even remotely tolerable. I've never seen a greater testament to how much I've changed over the years. While normally I'm rather neutral about my lifestyle these days, fully aware that I've got plenty of things right but there are plenty more things to improve on, my eyes have been opened to just how much I've grown. It's a good feeling, knowing I've come this far.
That being said, those tremendous monuments to my stereotypically edgy teenager persona, complete with all of the things I thought were cool and funny, have been removed forever, to which I have no regrets. I'm a much different person than I was before, a man rather than a child. A clean slate is what I need.
A good day to all of you, and a happy Independence Day.

A Whole New World
It's been a crazy few months. I can't believe everything that was happened all came and went so fast! Even now I'm still kinda reeling from it all; some things have yet to wind down, and others are just now beginning!
Now, to get some of that heavy-laden ambiguity out of the way, I was engaged to the love of my life, Uptownchic (https://www.deviantart.com/uptownchic), since last November. Let's take a look at everything that's happened since then.
November '15: Got officially engaged, made significant plans to stop college midway and move elsewhere when I had only lived at home my whole life
December '15: Finished my last semester of college for now, moved from Georgia to I

It is almost with contempt that the rest of the internet looks upon this site. As many do, they look to the lowest of the low, and assume all are of that level. And yet, some of the greatest, most fantastic art in all the world traces its steps back to here, where it was first shown. A duality unlike any other, to be sure.
But what of me? I am returning here, having joined a long, long time ago. Eras have passed since then, and the shades of my life have switched sevenfold.
A loner in middle school, struggling to find his way.
A shy youngster, barely testing the waters of what could be considered "art."
