I'm back, after nearly EIGHT years of not being active here.  

I last updated my journal here in 2012 after having what you might call a spiritual awakening. It was an intense period of self-development, growth, and evolution. I've continued growing since then, and once again, I'm a very different person that I used to be.

What hasn't changed is my sensitive soul and love of art. Though I lost the latter for a while. I've only recently started creating again after four years of being busy with college and then not doing so for the next three years after graduating because of mental illness and taking time to rest, relax, and heal.

_{I struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and past trauma.}

I'm happy to say my mental health is now flourishing, and I'm drawing and writing again. I found love, and I share my life with an amazing, beautiful man named Coltt. He has changed my life, and I cannot thank him enough for his love, support, and patience. We've been together for nearly four years now, but we feel like we've been together forever. He's a professional photographer, among many other things, and we're hoping to get married as soon as we're able to. 🐻💕💍

I won't write too much about my new life now, because I'm not really sure if anyone will even see this. I've taken a look at the profiles of some of my old friends here, and I'm disappointed to see that so many are no longer active and haven't been for years now (not unlike me). That's okay, though. I'm ready to start sharing my art again and making new connections.

I have created art during the time I've been gone, but I'm only just now in the right place (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) to start creating again and being more active artistically. My passion is helping and healing others, but my art is still important to me. I'm reconnecting with that, and so far, I'm really enjoying that. It has been therapeutic, and I look forward to what I hope will be a productive future. 🎨

At the moment, I'm really into Digimon. I realized a couple of months ago that Bandai had released Digimon Links, a game for iOS and Android. So I started playing, and I found myself wanting to relive my childhood and catch up on what I've missed. I've stayed somewhat updated, but I'm still catching up on two of the three most recent anime series, which I've missed. Also playing a few of the games I've missed, as well as games I never full finished.

I introduced my boyfriend to Digimon, and he loves it! Botamon is his favorite. We've watched the first season of Adventure, and we're now watching the second. Meanwhile, I've been watching Savers by myself. I already finished Fusion. Appmon will be next.

With that being said, expect some fanmade Digimon art in the near future! It's been years since I was active here, so I'll be hiding old comments, editing old deviations, and deleting old journal entries. To be honest, it's embarrassing. I was so young then, and it's not a positive or accurate representation of the person I am today. So if you see anything before 2012, I apologize. 😂

I'm excited about being back here, and I plan on finally sharing my art again soon. Stay tuned!

Sending all my love. ❤️

The last entry I made was in 2010.

Most of you have probably forgotten about me entirely, and that's okay, because I'm really not at all the same person I used to be.

I've changed more than I can even begin to describe, and I'm still changing; more and more, each and every day (all for the better).

As a reflection of that process, my art has been affected. I still love making fake Pokemon, sure. I likely always will. Though that is no longer my focus. I guess you could say I've grown up.

The very way in which I do my art, internally and externally, as well as my view on art in itself are currently in the process of evolving. Not unlike myself in my interests of self-improvement and personal development.

The good news is that I've never been better. Physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Never have I had my shit more together than I do now. And I have to say, it feels great.

Until then, sending all my love and light. ❤️

BACK AGAIN.

TRENT IS BACK.

TELL A FRIEND.

So, how have y'all been? I've been great, but it's good to be back.

For those of you who began watching me while I was away and are now wondering who I am, hi, my name's Trent. I was away because my father took my computer away. I'm gay, and he does this any time I do or say something that triggers his problem with that. Seven months, have I been without my computer. Seven months.

Obviously, I'm happy to be back. So, what have I done for little over half a year? A lot. And nothing. But not a lot of nothing.

I became involved in a very close relationship, but he broke up with me. He wanted to see other guys. Apparently, he wasn't ready for a serious relationship, which is what I want. I'm confident in saying that it was his loss. If he ever comes back to me, and I have a feeling he might, I've already moved on. Whether I'll be in another relationship or single at the time, I won't take him back.

It wasn't a total loss, though. It was another learning experience that I can take and incorporate into my future, you know? I've become a lot more positive about well, everything. As opposed to my previous pessimistic perspective. I decided to stop being depressed and waiting for happiness.

I still struggle and have my weak moments, but hey, everyone does. As long as I continue striving.

That's really all I can even think of for this update. Expect stuff to be uploaded. Not too soon, though. I got HGSS, so I'm gonna be spending a lot of time playing that.

Anyways, it's goo to be back. I've really missed some of y'all!

Will be November 23rd-January 3rd. I'm willing to bet money on it. The date has not been released, nor leaked, to the public. But this is my prediction.

Now, in other news.

Still grounded, so that's fun. I technically have stuff I could upload but may or may not depending on how lazy I am.

School has started. I'm already taking the classes that I need to and would have more than I even need to graduate, but I decided to take Art just because I want to. So this means I will graduate roughly around December, and certainly before or by the end of this first semester as opposed to the little over a month that I was going to be doing before taking the elective.

I've been doing a lot of art practice. Not using any fancy medium, just a pen or pencil. But I've been drawing humans and some landscapes here and there and such.

When I do get my laptop back, I plan to get PhotoShop and begin actually TRYING things when it comes to digital art, instead of just using Paint or Paint.NET.

I finished watching every season of Doctor Who so far and every Doctor Who special except for the last one and the one that airs this year in December. Now I plan to watch every season and special of the two Doctor Who spin-off series; Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures.

I may start watching an anime or something. I don't know. I at least need to watch Hetalia because a lot of my friends love it, and I don't know what's going on when they talk about it.

This is just to let anyone that cares that I'm not dead, I'm just still very grounded. Please don't forget me!


I'll try to update here and there, but I don't know when I'll be able to.

Love y'all~

P.S. Not a lot has happened since I've been grounded, other than going back to school. I've been playing and am obsessed with Spectrobes: Origins, though.
