So, again, it's been a while since I last updated here. I've been lurking mostly, haven't been really active nor did I really felt like it. And life happens and I get a little distracted from this place, but this week I've been sick at home (a virus attacking my vestibular system, ugh. Hope to be able to work again tomorrow!) and I've been online when I felt better (usually the afternoon/evenings). And then I realize how much I miss this place sometimes. So many memories!
That's also the reason why I'll be attending a Devmeet in Utrecht, organized by Dynoboot, at Utrecht, along with FritsPlays. So if you're Dutch, or just want to attend a Dutch devMEET, please join us on February 11th in Utrecht! It's always nice to see some new faces, although I like seeing the old faces again as well
Other than that: What did I miss? Anything new in your lives? Art that I need to see/read? Other things that I need to know about/see/read?
Where have I been?
Well, not here to be exact. Life happened. Meanwhile I've been a deviant for over 18 years. That is a hell of a long time. I haven't created any real photos for years, I've been exploring different kinds of arts. Mainly artisan crafts. To get out of my head I need to use my hands on crochet, embroidery, writing.. anything. Or books. I read a lot, but I still don't write. I did however followed a training about writing, and passed. But still haven't done much writing. Just came back from another holiday in Croatia, brought the Canon, but didn't pick it up. I didn't take much photos at all, neither with my phone. I miss the 'old days' on deviantART. Spend hours of hours in the chat, on the forums. Especially the days as a CV/GM. The community was so close! I loved and still love APN photography with a passion. A lot of people seem to have vanished from here. I haven't been gone gone. I've been lurking, so I've seen quite a lot of journals from people telling them they're not around
#14years
Apparently I created this account 14 years ago. Feels like a lifetime ago.
Happy birthdAy to me! :party:
Kind of here, but not.
Since my last journal from January 2017 a lot has happened in my offline life. Some of the bigger things are that loved ones died, I changed jobs twice (within the company I've been working at for 8 years now), and I've found a special guy. Due to me changing jobs again recently, I'll be going back to school as well (NEVI), I'm also trying to be with this special guy quite often and also try to focus more on myself at the same time. I don't do much online anymore, since I spend most of my working days sitting in front of screens, I like to try and move more instead of sitting even more. I've been paying more attention to my FitBit, trying to
12th birthdAy!
I never could've imagined I would be a member of the same website for 12 years. Twelve years. Twelve. Next year even my account is allowed to be here, considering COPPA .
It has been a rough year, and I won't be here for dA's birthday party on the 7th. Since last year August 7th isn't just dA's birthday anymore. Since last year it's also the year my friend tried to end his life and succeeded a day later. I should try to celebrate life more, but right now it's still pretty damn hard. I still have a rough time dealing with his death and I still think I see him everywhere while it's someone else who looks similar. I still want to text him when
