Since I posted and shared my 'sona, I've gotten a bunch of very flattering and supportive compliments. It might not be many given how small my audience is, but I didn't realize until now that I've never really had someone tell me they like the look of my body, and I just need to say thanks. For the first time in probably over a decade, I actually felt like I wanted to exercise. So, I've started doing some light workouts in my apartment between projects, and I have to say, having this positive feedback made it feel good to do. I don't plan on losing fat, I'm always going to have a large gut, and at this point in my life I honestly really like that look. Instead, I feel a stronger desire to just keep myself healthy. Though, I wouldn't be upset about getting some big muscles to go with the big belly...

College has been a bit of a dark time, and I wish I had started using drawing as an outlet before my final year, it might have made things far less difficult.
