You're An Artist Love

Today is August 1st, 2019.

I have .38 cents in my account because I wanted some apples and caramel and a granola bar this morning.

Despite that - it’s an exciting month for me.

The past few months I have been going through a lot of changes. Some changes I feel good about. Some changes still leave me a little breathless.

I start my Associate’s Degree in Digital Effects and Animation at Forsyth Tech in Winston-Salem on August 19th. 

I also will be featured as a RAW Artist for the RAW Artist Showcase. RAW Artists (RAW: natural born artists) is an international arts organization that operates in the United States, Canada, Australia and Mexico. I’ll be participating as an Artist for their Charlotte, NC stop on August 21, 2019.

…wow.

I have cried.

I have prayed.

I threw up a little.

I drank a lot.

I got high.

Sometimes I go from extremes of everything hurting, to feeling nothing. Trying to find balance in my emotional state has been a process for me these past few months. 

I can’t feel guilty for choosing myself. You can’t feel guilty for choosing yourself. If you have friends, significant others, or family, that make you feel guilty for choosing yourself, then you need to evaluate how that person fits into the happiest, healthiest version of your life.

Transitions are going to happen. You can be a part of them or just witness them.
