I have more or less settled down now, and I have finished the art classes I was taking. while I'm still not pleased with the quality of my art, I've learned to overcome those thoughts, and just *draw*; these thoughts no longer affect me the way they used to, thankfully.

However, the damage that those feelings, and the actions that came from those feelings, has already been done, many times over. I can't even look into the eyes of most of my old friends now, knowing how I was like before, whether they were supportive or annoyed about it, or anything in between, or outside those boundaries. Even if things were rebuilt and rekindled, there will always be this sense of awkwardness with each interaction. I ended up shutting those bridges down for good, because honestly, I think it's for the best, not only for their sakes, but for my sake as well.

I will be working on building a new, more positive image of myself from now on. To those that stuck with me through this, amd to those that read this: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
