I'm back-ish~
Replies
Hello everyone! Gosh I'm sorry I left without much word about anything, but my life kind of took a few rather drastic turns over the course of the last 8 months. I'll share some details for those that want to read. But in short for those that don't want to read the longer version, I moved states recently to be back with my family and am only just now getting back on my feet! I start a new job Monday and once I get organized I will be back at some capacity or another.
Now, for the much longer version...
long boi
Alright, so the beginning goes all the way back to May-June. My long-time boyfriend and I split up. It's been complicated for awhile so I don't think anyone that knows me well was very surprised by this. We own a house together, so that's been a bit difficult to figure out but still working on that bit. Otherwise, that part of my life is finished. I had moved states in order to be with him and moved almost 1000 miles from my family, which made it lonely. I think that was a portion of why our relationship failed. It was just very hard to visit family for short periods of time, and only a couple times a year (for various reasons).
Anyway, so once we split, I had to find new housing, which I did with someone I considered a friend. That was in September and probably one of the bigger mistakes I made in the last few months. I won't go into detail, but it wasn't a great situation that didn't end very well. This left me in a bit of a scramble to figure out what I wanted to do; stay where I was and find a place to live there, or move back to where my family was. Ultimately decided I wanted to be around my family. So I had to apply for a license to practice in that state, bit of a headache that was, and start applying for jobs.
Holidays came, which is always stressful on its own, but I had a job interview while I was visiting family. I felt good about it so I decided to poke around and see what I could find for housing. I put in an application to rent a trailer and was approved right away. Once I found out that I got the job, I started putting everything in motion in order to move. Put in my notice at my previous position, scheduled a moving truck, accepted the trailer, etc etc. My brother came out to help thankfully and we drove together. Ruthless drive that it was, it was probably the least stressful part of everything!
So here I am now, in my home state getting myself situated. I've been running around creation getting my documents switched over, refinancing loans and all that 'fun' stuff that comes with relocating. I only just got internet, which apparently is way more important that furniture (oops). I'm still getting settled but it's coming along. I have a lot of furniture yet to buy and lots of organizing and unpacking and decorating. But it's a happy busy. I'm much happier being back around family and recently started dating someone who makes me even happier. So life is going in the right direction!
My computer is currently out of commission because one of the cords got stripped that goes to my monitor and I'm having a hell of a time finding a replacement. That's my plan for tomorrow... find the cord! But for now I'm on my laptop. I don't have any of my art programs on my laptop, so it's no dice on that until I find a cord and get everything fixed on that end. In the meantime, I'm busy enough with other things though :)
I'm sure I will get some questions about recolors/CWs and all that, so just to get ahead of the curve a bit, I will get to it. I'm still very busy getting organized here in my new place, but I plan to do some more recolors and continue working on the CWs I had been. Thank you everyone for your patience, and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. It's good to be back-ish!
Welcome back ❤ BTW Tumblr link in signature is busted.
So glad to see things are getting better for you. I’m sorry you’ve have a rough time but glad things are on the up for you :) I hope things continue to get better and better :) glad to see you around again
Welcome back!
As someone who ended a complicated long-term relationship (engagement, actually) last year and moved back to my parents, which were living miles away from me because I moved in with my partner... I can relate so much to your story. I’m glad life is starting to go back to track for you! And it’s good to see you around~ :*
- Ah thank you! I disabled my old one, just have to update with the new one ^-^
- Very glad to be back! It's been far too long, but things are definitely getting better everyday. It'll be nice to be able to work on some art here soon too :)
- It certainly is an adjustment going from such a long relationship to it being done. Bit of an eye-opening experience but it's all good. I'm happy to be back and so happy to have stuff going in the right direction again ^-^
welcome back! It sounds like you've had a hell of a time; I'm glad things are stabilizing for you.
(also internet first, furniture second is entirely the correct and most valid way to do that)

I'm glad you're doing okay. I've thought about you alot over the last few months, so I'm glad that things are getting better! I can sympathize with the move and pretty much everything you talked about. Going through something similar myself though I won't go into detail on here. Just glad that you're doing okay. <3
That is quite a lot but it's good to hear you're back near family and happier :) Welcome back.
In case you didn't know, this is Mels, I changed my username a few months ago LMAO
Welcome back! I hope you're able to get settled comfortably :) I'm available like normal on Discord, but my schedule is kind of crazy now / changed a lot since you've been gone. I'll try to say hello when I can! ❤️ super big hug I've missed you so much!
Sending giant hugs I have a good feeling that 2020 will be a wonderful year for you. Sounds like you are settling into real life first, which is a good plan. And yes, internet is more important than furniture...well other than a bed and at least some place to sit, lol. Oh, and if it was me, I am afraid the coffee pot would beat out even the internet.

If I claimed and missed you please tell me.
Welcome back!!!! Sounds like things were a wee bit crazy and you are now starting to get back on your feet/on track which is awesome! Moves are nothing to sneeze at! Hubs and I were considering a move ourselves (we were like () that close to signing and moving) and I chickened out at last minute because it would have been a hasty decision made (in the span of a few days) and it was really stressful thinking about packing/moving everything in such a tiny window so I was like NO. We're still considering it if hubby can get a job in the state we were looking at but we decided we don't just want to dive in unless you know there's a good reason for it (like a way better job) LOL :) So I'm really glad things are looking up and I hope you can find your computer cord soon meep!

You are clearly a very strong person. Proud of you for doing what is right for your growth and happiness. Welcome back!
(I didn't ping just in case you were swamped) -hugs- Welcome back! I am sorry to hear about all that pain and hardship. It seems like in the end it was a good thing to get back near your family. I hope it will all turn out well for you with all this change. <3 I am glad you are ok! I was worried when I didn't see you around but figured that you must just be very busy. <3 I hope you've been able to find some time in all this mix to do some things that really fulfill you and bring you inner peace (even if just momentarily or for a short while, it's always good to have those peaceful moments).
