Longest year of my life...
6 years ago
It's been a while since I actually said anything here, so maybe now is a good time...
The truth is, I haven't been doing so great for the longest time. I wasn't able to get myself to draw anything. Mostly I think this has to do with my college education, and how it took a pretty bad turn and made me afraid I might have had to drop out at a few points. It wasn't giving me any gratification, it just kept dragging on, it made me feel dead inside...
So I was really glad I finally made it and graduated just last month. Only last week did I finally get to see my diploma, but... Then another challenge came onto my path. One that I had almost convinced myself I couldn't handle... And then I did.
In case you haven't heard about it, there is a worldwide network of schools, called 42, that teach people coding and all the work ethics associated with it, free of charge. You pay back with the skills you develop and how they benefit the global IT job market. Part of their selection process is a month-long bootcamp in Unix and C. 26 days, no weekends or breaks, 10 hours a day... If you're particularly talented.
Well, I bit the bullet and decided to take the bootcamp at Codam, and it just finished yesterday with a monumental 8 hour exam. At the start I thought I would be dead inside by now, as I was after slaving on my thesis for half a year...
But really I feel great. I feel like I just did something I wouldn't have dreamed of ever being able to. I feel that what I always thought was a simple hobby of mine has really become my passion, and I definitely would want to continue with it, whether I end up selected for Codam's main curriculum or not.
Now this definitely does not mean that I will stop drawing and making music and other things. I've always left most of the future up to chance. I do think that being a programmer is in the cards for me and perhaps, one day, I will create my own websites or video games. All the more useful that I can combine my old skills with new ones.
As for everyone here... I'm sorry that I've been this... Unavailable for so long. Those of you that I know from Discord and Telegram have been great supportive friends and I hope you will continue to be by my side, even if I'm not always very confident and/or bearable. Thank you... So much.
I guess I will take some time now to chill and maybe draw some more smut... :3

With that, I say welcome back. <3 And will look forward to see what you will have in mind.
