Cosmetology student that does art

[dovenchiart]

Alright I’m back after a serious break from art

I have gone through a lot in the past years and I just want to journal it and have it for my own record

Something to look back on and see my growth and perseverance

2021

I met the man of my nightmares and was trapped in a highly abusive relationship. It was bad for two years. They cut me off from my art and my family.

At one point he attempted to take my life

2022

I was allowed (yes allowed) to get a job and unbeknownst to him make friends:)

One friend Abigail was going through her now ex going behind her back and crossing boundaries as well as lying to her

I watched her breakup with him and helped her move out

It was incredibly eye opening

I can just leave

So I went back to my apartment and made a game plan

I was going to move in with my coworkers

And so I do

2023

I am moved in with my coworkers and I’m not doing well mentally

I start seeing my current therapist (love you Jamie(in a professional sense)) but I start my healing journey and it’s slowly getting easier to get through the day

I start doing things I like again

I talk to people more

I’m happier but still not thriving

I’m fighting with my family almost constantly

And I’m in a lot of physical pain due to my job

2024

I move home after I drop out of college

I start mending ties with my family and we are getting along great

My mom suggests hair school

I enroll

I love it and I’m good at it

Things are going really well and I’m happy and I have purpose

My whimsy returns and I feel like I can do anything

Only problem is the pain that persists

2025

I graduate cosmetology school and I have some time to see my friends and find out why I hurt so much

I go to the doctor and I’m diagnosed with elhors Danlos syndrome

But I’m not giving up on my career I’m going to get my license and do hair for as long as I can

Im also starting a shop to sell my art while I do hair

So maybe one day I can fall back on my art career and let it be my main source of income

Until then I’m going to keep drawing and let my whimsy lead

Sorry I was gone so long I missed yall:)

girl you've been running through my mind all day

[shutupimthinking]

not in a cool sexy way though, girl.... kinda like this.

One of the things I swear by as an artist is my artistic routine. That’s basically the time I set aside to draw, learn, and replenish my creativity.

As someone who can easily burn myself out or run out of ideas, having a manageable and realistic routine is the only thing that’s helped me maintain a steady output for over 21 years of posting my art online. I have so many ideas about how to set one up - here’s a little snippet of a longer video I made about the topic! You can watch the full video over on my patreon.

stop watching anything with gal gadot in it — that ESPECIALLY includes marvel. they’re not even good anyway lmao. military-sponsored propaganda.

“not watching something” is genuinely the bare minimum. it’s the simplest boycott that could be asked of you.

[sabrsiren-deactivated20250418]

when film companies start realizing that the reason their sales are tanking is because they’re casting war criminals, they’ll stop hiring them, Inshallah. but in order to do that you have to not give them your money.

i don’t wanna hear that “someone else will do it to make up for it” mentality because i promise you’re not the only person who’s thinking that way, and then we’re back at square one. boycotts have to be taken seriously collectively or else they’re less effective.

use that theater ticket money to donate to a palestinian fundraiser instead.

Public service announcement!

If you see a service/emotional support clown in public, DO NOT INTERACT!! I’m tired of hearing story after story from my friends about how someone was distracting their service clown. If they have a vest on they’re working, end of story! Don’t try to get them to honk, show you a magic trick, and especially don’t try to feed them. Just pretend like they’re not there. Thank you

Caribou

In both fable and fact, caribou — or reindeer, as they are known when domesticated — are renowned for their long-distance travels. In Christ

Besides drilling and development in the caribou’s habitat, climate change is causing ice storms that glaze over tundra vegetation; more frequent fires that kill lichens; early peaking of best spring forage before the herd arrives in the refuge to breed; and increases in mosquitoes significant enough to interfere with feeding
