Hi

Wow. My last journal was in 2015 and was saying "Merry Christmas" ? Damn I feel like an old man lol. Anyways.


I've been itching on writing a journal like this to point out what has been going on with my life as of now lately. For those who don't know I ain't dead, I am still here just...things are not the way they are used to be. I used to talk all the time here back in the day, sharing notes and such but now this site feels like a ghost town (at least to me.). Also in case some who do not know back in 2017 I went to England, to do a course on Concept Art and this is now my final Semester, so yeh. Lots of things have changed over time. Myself, my art style has gotten better, I've seen and met new people both online and real life, my interests have shifted etc. And there's deviantART, a relic from my middle-to high school days. When I entered I was just an edgy kid (hence my username lol) and now here I am, an all around good artist in both digital and traditional art (I still have lots of stuff to learn though regarding art but hey). I met lots of people here too and had both my up and down moments. I am not perfect but I also did my own share of mistakes too, to which I did learned from and would not like to repeat them.


I also lost a couple of friends too on the way. Some moved on, some I lost contact with and some well...probably just did not want to be around anymore. I'm still in contact with a few old friends from here but yeah. I'll probably sound like an old guy saying this but I wish I was back in my younger days here. Without a care in the world, talk or Role Play with others or do random art or fan art or play video games all day and yadda, yadda, yadda. Don't wanna beat a dead horse here but dA's new design it's just...well yeah bad like many have said before. Why would they screw up such a simplistic-easy to use website for the sake of being "cool and sleek" I got no clue. All the stuff you could do like check your Watchlist, or add Stamps to your profile, or able to check what kind of messages you got or who's birthday is it in a couple of days etc.- gone. Just gone. Oh and let's not forget the best one yet- bots have invaded the site spamming random links in notes or comments. And also probs because either of these or loss of interest, peeps have been going to other websites like Twitter or Instagram to show their artwork. I am now more active on Instagram, Reddit and Discord, as well I still have Steam too and my old Skype account so yeah if anyone wants to still be in touch with me, feel free to message me about these in notes. I don't intend on leaving but like I said things here are not how they once used to be.


The world has changed a lot over the past 10 years since I joined. I guess it's kinda poetic isn't it ? I joined ten years ago with my first journal here and here I am with my newest journal after like six years of not doing any new ones and feels like a reflection piece about myself 10 years ago. I remember my first Journal being something like "Hey everyone, that's me here, this is my first journal so yeah. I gotta go back to Killzone 3 as those Helghast have been kicking my ass so yeah excuse me I gotta send them back to the fires of Hell." 100% edginess there with an Angry Video Game Nerd quote at the end xD Used to watch him and Nostalgia Critic a lot back then. And yeah Killzone...anyone remember that one ? No ? What about Resistance ?...Infamous ?... damn I feel old. (Team Fortress 2's still going though). Apart from those and dA I've missed other things from that era too. Rage meme comics, everyone talking like "heeeyy guys! ^3^ i gotta ask how you've been .3. ^^", Slender Man etc. But I guess that's what nostalgia is all about. Remembering favourite moments from your past and the desire to relive them. Sadly life's not like a video game where if you like a level, you can replay it as many times as you want to. You can try to relive past moments again sure, but won't be as great as the first time you did it or it happened and the world along with time still move on.


Anyways I believe that's all for now.


Until next time. :)
