Hello, everyone!

As some of you may have noticed, I've taken an extensive break from NG.

So much has happened in nearly 6 years! I've moved up through 2 jobs, moved into my own home and I've taken some quality time to better myself as an artist. Having started a family (who is very supportive) and healing some wounds has opened me up to a much better quality of life. Drawing used to be an escape from depression and intrusive thoughts but now I draw because its genuinely something I enjoy and it seems to bring people happiness.

I've been on NG since the early 2000's and this community has always appealed to me. When I felt confident in myself I decided to start an account on here in 2014 and it felt very welcoming for the most part. I understand that communities grow and change, people come and go. So I'm considering my recent involvement as a comeback and an opportunity to make some friends and see where this goes.

I have to say thank you, so much to all of you who continue to inspire me and helped motivate me down this path. I'm forever grateful for all of you! Keep up the good work!
