*GASP* A new journal?!
Yes, I'm not dead. Anyway, I thought I'd give you all a quick update as to whats been going on recently.
First off, I had a blast at AC 2019. Got to meet many of my awesome friends and my boyfriend during my time there. I just wish I didn't get sick during my time there. Hopefully next year it'll go better heh.
Next, after leaving my job at Burger King, I got a job at Target, dealing will cellphone sales and accessories. Been there for about 3 months now, and things have been going pretty okay there for the most part. Which is why my art has slowed again, but I'm working on that as I make this journal.
And finally, something a bit more personal.
You see, for YEARS, like since i was 6 or 7 years old, I always felt different. I don't know how, and I don't know why. I never questioned it, but eventually came to the thought that most likely everyone else felt that way. Fast forward to present day. I'm 26 years old, and my parents drop the bombshell that I was diagnosed with Autism shortly after turning 3 years old. After that, I started questioning everything. Who I am, the decisions I've made, the irrational behaviors I've had while growing up.....was it all because of the Autism. To try to have me feel better about it, they told me that I'm a "High Functioning Autistic", but I didn't know how to process this new information about myself, and began to wonder why did my parents keep this from me for so long. It took me about 2 days to fully process and made me realize that it was the reason behind many things that made me who I am today.
A kind and caring person that follows the rules and barely breaks them. Making friends along the way, and to succeed the best I can. I'm still the same me. Still the same old lovable blue muscled dragon you all have known me from day one. And that's not gonna change any time soon.
I appreciate you all also waiting for commissions. I'm hammering those out the best I can with any free time I have available. I should be in contact soon about those as well!

Moreover, congrats for the new job. It's good to see that you are going quite well, not to mention that you're alive and kicking ass.
