It's still a tough road, but slowly improving.  I am making baby steps towards recovering my life.  It's been quite a struggle.

I've had to clean up lots of messy business he left behind.  For those of you who might be contemplating hoarding, my advice is don't.  Someday, someone will have to deal with your crap, and it won't be pretty.  And they won't appreciate any of it any more than you did.

On the bright side, I opened commissions last month and have been getting some work.  Not a lot, but it's a start.  I have been keeping drawing and am feeling pretty confident these days.  Still haven't gotten my painting program up and rolling again yet, but it will happen.

Also, I am signed up to run a half marathon later this year, which means my lard ass has been working out a lot more, and consistently.  A goal makes the fitness business easier to deal with.  And my big dog appreciates the exercise and bonding time.

Riding has had to take a back seat since the weather has been very strange, and I need to get the horse's feet done.  The arena is a big, soggy patch of grass at the moment, as well...

Hope everyone out there is doing well!

Ja-ne!

Another Gackt song journal title, but this one is special.  That particular song has had a very calming effect in an otherwise tumultuous time.

A year has passed.  The wounds still ache, and the legal wrangling drags on.  Not something of my doing.  I finally handed it off to be dealt with and have found a measure of peace.  I have grown accustomed to my life as it is now.

I started drawing again towards the end of last year, at last.  Most of the drawings have been of a single subject, yes.  I was determined to capture a true likeness of Gackt before moving on.  Why?  Because his voice has been the most comforting thing in my insane world.  Sometimes, a song would make me cry as the sound and lyrics seemed to hit a bit close to home.  I've since gone on to other subjects but that voice is the one in my ears, and in my head, that reminds me to keep moving forward.

With that said, I have new stuff to upload, just trying to work things out between my phone and the computer.  I now take photos of my work with my phone but posting to dA from my phone is a real pain in the ass.  Hopefully, I can work things out so that it is easier.  All of the work I've been doing is traditional pencil  sketches, and the scanner I have tends to butcher my work...

Ja-ne!
