A little balance perhaps.
Okay. First journal entry in almost a year...
Hi! I'm not dead!!

So, anyway. I've been meeting up with an artsy friend on Tuesday's and spending about 3 hours drawing.

I've removed the mood icon/listening/watching/etc because I don't like coding them. If you want to put them back in, go for it. I don't know what I did honestly.
