So I am going to be more active here, and man, I've been neglecting my journal despite having a lot to say. I will not do that anymore. I have gotten too used to the quick and easy way to dump stuff on social media, and eeeeeeh, I miss my journal a lot.

As for my personal life, I am going into the medical field for my job work. I'm returning to classes to be a CNA and do what I must to secure a good income. My husband wants to be a CNA too so I can only imagine the power duo combination. My husband and I have been great and super happy actually. It's winter time so it's just less busy for me and him and more of just cuddle weather.

Also going to be practicing my Chinese with my husband because I just have no one to talk to to upkeep my cultural language. I at least talk to him in Patwa when I'm home so I'll never lose my other culture's tongue. But yeah going to practice my language more so if you see some journals strictly in Chinese don't worry just practicing.

So anyways on to art yammering...

 I have got to be kinder to myself when it comes to art. I realized I am not, don't give myself credit when it's due, and am my worst critique. I don't mean that in the cliche way of " ho ho ho us artists are our worst critiques". No I mean I'm my own #1 public enemy with my art. I've been pretty hard on myself despite pumping out pieces back to back and I really have got to stop that. Even the vocabulary I use is harsh that I would never use on someone else's artwork.

Either way, I'm going to be more hyper-aware of the language I use regarding my craft and be kind, like I would to a stranger but to myself.

As for my website....

I am very shy about it but I want to start introducing fiction I will be writing about the worlds/ oc that go along with my art. That used to jump-start my creative juices back in the day for months on end and boy do I miss it. This will lead to me ripping apart my world-building page and oc pages to remodel them cause, to be honest they have been sitting in the dust for some time now. I am slowly getting my site the way I want it and it is paying off
