Hey there everyone, so some new updates:

I got a new job, and I was surprised when I applied as a Cashier but they told me “You’re overqualified, but we think you’d be a great fit as a Front End Manager!” To sort of explain what this means: We have Courtesy Clerks (those who do the bagging of groceries, help you to your car if you’d like, as well as fetch carts from the lot and do some of the trash if we have full bins), Cashiers (self explanatory, but they can also act as courtesy clerks too), Front End Managers (Take on responsibilities from the Courtesy Clerk, Cashier positions as well as supervisor responsibilities I won’t get into), Head Cashier which is my direct supervisor. So this is honestly a major step up living in TN now as compared to CA and my previous job. I’m working full time now, but I also already make more every week than I did on a bi-weekly pay! I’m going to keep doing my best and see where it takes me, I am getting exhausted but more so because I’m learning so much in two weeks than I was ever taught at any previous job.

Now onto the shouts I want to give.

To my two roommates who have been so awesome, can’t thank them enough for taking me in. I didn’t want to just be a bump on a log, just wish I’d have found work sooner.

To my friend who drove me out here, you’re one in a million. I’m gonna find a way to give back.

To every single person who has been helping me or helped me, who wished the best for me and cared, stood by me and more: You all are amazing. I can’t express into words how grateful I am that I had so many people pitch in, give me assistance and support. I’ll give back as well, I’ve got some people I need to prioritize first but I pay back my dues.

Artist Shout Outs and Spotlight:
This time I’m doing on and they have helped bring to life a few characters along side with my awesome friend Azria.

 Pieismyfave The Argent Dragon has already been bringing to life some more of my cast that was in my mind, this includes so far: Asami the Magnamalo, Cassius LeBlanc and Estella LeBlanc, Belladonna the Brachydios (I’ve yet to post them but will be coming), as well as some more that will be seen in the coming days/months/years as I want to continue to work with them and support their art.

Please give them a follow, ask them about their Custom Character Commissions, they do Monster Hunter and Pokémon but I’m also sure they do more than that as well. They deserve the praise for helping bring words into a visual, their style continues to develop as well as finding innovation for their style while still retaining such a unique style. I want to encourage them not only to keep going but to also continue to be an artist who I can say beyond doubt is amazing.

And if you see this friend, never give up and follow your heart. The only opinion that should matter is yours, but I also know for a fact you take criticism and will learn from it. I’ve seen that.

Their socials are on their page, I wanna fight the algorithm or at least get more people aware of artists who in my eyes are not just artists: But they’re also wonderful friends of mine.

I do know some would rather keep their art as a hobby, and I will have their works in my gallery as well. But for today this is about  Pieismyfave I want to try and update maybe once a month about this. I know I’m not very big, but I can at least show all of you who watch or don’t and have read this journal how wonderful and awesome these artists are.

Much love to everyone.
