Hey, all, especially those I interact with on a regular basis.
I kinda dropped off the face of the Earth from all social media for a while. After my ex left me I really fell apart something awful. I lost two jobs within mere months of each other and wound up moving somewhere that put me into a really emotionally and mentally straining situation (and said place didn't have any internet), and to top it all off my brother, my only sibling, passed away. I wasn't drawing or talking to anyone or doing anything that I usually do. I was just a shell of my former self and couldn't even look at myself in the mirror because I was
terrified of the ghost I saw staring back. I wound up falling into my absolute all-time low and engaging in really unhealthy activities to a point where my very life was at risk.
But I am proud to announce that I've made a complete turnaround in my life. I'm doing far better nowadays. I have reconnected with old friends and made new ones and even found a phenomenal lover and they have all helped me tremendously. I'm honestly happier now than I've been since before my grandmother passed when I was in the 6th grade. Sure, things are still kind of rough, I still have some challenges I need to overcome, but I know now that I can handle them and that things are going to be okay. The worst has passed and after what I've gone through I came out as a much stronger person.
I am aware that I have some commissions that I still need to work on and I apologize for the long delay. I apologize to those clients and will do what I can about that as soon as possible. I lost all motivation to work and it took a lot for me to get it back. I understand if you are upset.
Back and here to stay, the new Maddie.
