I love where I work and what I do. I adore the kids that I am grateful enough to take care of during the week. They make me so happy, but I honestly put way too much of myself into my job. It has made me beyond successful. It got me to a place I hadn’t dreamed of being for another 3 years. Becoming lead teacher to my toddler class was a wonderful experience and I am sad that I am leaving such great kids. But I am 21 years old. I don’t need to be putting myself through 40+ hour work weeks and lose all my ambition to go out and do things on the weekends and after work. I am very happy where I am but it’s time for me to take some time off of a full time job, enjoy the rest of summer, nanny for a wonderful family 3 days a week and then come fall; crack down on school and pursue further in my ECE degree. I put my whole self in on this job and it feels good to know that I have done a great job with the classroom when I had no set coteacher with me. I am so proud of myself and I can’t wait to see what else is to come

I love MHA as is cause of story and characters and that, but recently I just can’t help but reflect on what a seriously fuckin’ baller artist Horikoshi is; mostly the increase in double spreads and such in newer chapters. I was looking back over the first few physical volumes I have and even besides all the rad details of clothing and such, and obviously his well known fascination with hands, his poses/anatomy/gesture/idk is all just super expressive and c o o l. Combined with the generally pretty slick paneling, it really gets the blood pumping.

I have a similar sorta hype when it comes to the art of like Nargyle and a lot of animation/storyboard folks. It’s all got this strong sense of movement and it’s kinda where I hope I can take my stuff one day.

Grooming academy in just a few days and before that I have my bday off to do fun things with my favorite!! 100/10 loving my new life and my little slice of paradise. Is this what it feels like to be truly happy it’s so foreign but so amazing 😭💓 succeeding, starting to make real money, hanging out with amazing friends, have all my own things, and I get to wake up next to the love of my life every day is everything I’ve ever wanted and I’m so proud of myself for the battles I overcame to get here. Just gotta see Colorado this summer and I think my heart will officially be full of the best things

Guys, I'm so unbelievably excited!! This past week has been absolutely amazing for me in so many ways, with the upcoming release of my first printed shirts, and the continuing of my shows in both savannah and Charlotte. Now to top it off, I've been reblogged liked and followed by many amazing artists and art pages including @azertip. which is a huge deal, especially since they were one of the first big art blogs I followed way back when I first discovered tumblr. Not only that, but I'm now being followed by the uber talented @chrisvisions, which if you don't know who that is you have some serious research to do. He is an artistic powerhouse to say the least and a person of color representing out here for all of us. With all of this good flooding in I just know that it has to keep getting better. There's no turning back and it's time for me to continue creating and pushing myself daily.

fucking milestone.

cleaning my dorm getting ready to move out and i find this random ass bear. I threw it aside wondering where I got it. Few seconds later I realized its from my abusive ex.

I’m fighting a panic attack right now but I can’t believe how far I’ve come. Last semester I was utterly heartbroken and confused at what I did wrong. Now i barely remember her.

recovering is hard and difficult but YOU are worth it.

Flashback to a rly good ootd a couple of months ago🤗 my internship mentor at work praised me so much I started crying today, she said I have really good working morals/ethics and that I've impressed her so much with how responsible I am and how well I deliver whatever task I'm doing 😭💕 #ootd #throwbackthursday #happyrant

Happy.

I am so incredibly happy with how this semester is going. It has been so hard for me in the past year to be able to feel genuinely happy about my life but I can honestly say that it feels amazing to feel as happy as I do right now. This semester is going great, I’m not struggling with any of my classes, I have met some amazing people, I was lucky enough to get a bid from an amazing sorority and in six weeks when my candidate process is over, I will officially be a sister in Alpha Omega Epsilon! All of the sisters are so accepting and sweet and I have never felt so accepted by a group of people before in my life. I’m starting to climb out of the dark hole that I have been stuck in for what feels like forever and I am working my way to a better place. Despite what people say, 2017 may be a great year.
