A new beginning

Tue Jun 9, 2009, 5:48 PM
It's been a while since I've visited deviantART. For a while my life felt like a slow slip into madness. I've been working since then to get my life back on track. I've been working on eating healthier (it turns out I have a fatty liver from eating too many carbs which comes from eating all the really cheap food I've been eating to save on money). It costs me a lot more, but I feel better for it. I've also been going out for daily walks to improve my health as well. Anything and everything I can do to improve my life I've been doing. Hopefully as I feel better I'll be able to do more and more.

I've actually made some progress in my Japanese language studies. I can read and write the kana (both the hiragana and katakana) though I'm still a novice. With more practice it will become easier and more natural for me. I'm just happy I can do it at all. Next up is learning some kanji. I bought some flashcards from Tuttle and used them to learn my kana, and I have them for the kanji as well. I'm feeling confident enough now to start using my Rosetta Stone. I'll probably switch up between that and my Rocket Languages material. I'm happy with the progress I've made so far and I hope I can continue to make progress.

As for my art and writing, I'm still not feeling too confident about either of them, but I hope with the changes I've been making in my life I'll start making some progress there too.

Eventually I think I'll reinvent myself, creating a new dA identity to go along with the new me. I'll let everyone know when that happens and forward them to my new page. In the meantime I'm going to focus on getting better. I don't want to slide back into that living hell.
