So it's been a while since I've done any updates, and I figured I may as well. If anything, it's nice just to talk. A lot has gone on in my life, and it's been a series of ups and downs lately, but I guess it's all good. If anything, I can say I'm still breathing. Honestly, I feel like I've been living Sia's song "I'm Alive" (need to figure out a wallpaper for that incredible song).

Anyway, so I finally did my first challenge on here, which I hope everyone enjoys. It's kind of funny considering that my last wallpaper ended up being themed to a song too. But I find music to influence a whole lot of my creative works, and it's always fun to see the ways that a song or musical piece can be interpreted. I have a few in mind that hopefully I can figure out wallpapers or fanart for now. If anything, I'm trying to make things to help me cope with recent stresses.

Speaking of, things have kind of been up and down, up and down (as I said). Our landlord sadly passed away Sunday (he was 93), so everything's in limbo at the moment. We're hoping that things stay the same here, but we don't know for certain yet. I guess that's just stuff you take one day at a time. But it hasn't been all bad either. I've had some good stuff in there too. My aunt is recovering after thinking she broke her hip, which was replaced years ago, so that's been a plus. My husband's had different work things popping up here, there and everywhere. And on top of it, I won a premium membership here for a year, so that was really cool. There's always little silver linings. At least, that's how I've made myself look at it.

Either way, I'm still here and hopefully will have more new stuff soon. I've been enjoying looking at the recent works by friends and working with Judai Winchester too (she's so awesome!). It's been really fun. I hope everyone is having fun with my recent challenge too. I'm really looking forward to more entries, and I already love the ones that have been submitted so far.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
