So, I haven't logged in for a long time (again). I seem to push myself away from dA, and then run straight back to it, when I find calm and peace again.

Though my issues remain unresolved... i.e. I was planning to move out, and so was my brother. But, unfortunately, my culture does not allow girls to be independent, and I was told that through months of intensive emotional blackmailing. It was quite a low period for me, and I didn't quite get around to taking any pictures.

I found solace however, in immersing myself in my new found but admittedly geeky passion for Star Trek, which did not want any energy, or any thought, or any effort from my part. And I liked that.

However, now that Christmas break is upon me, and I finally get to have a break from my university course, I find myself, a little empty, and my fingers a little itchy.

A return to dA is just what I need. So hello world!

Hello everyone,

I just want to say thank you for all the messages and the favourites and the comments. Your support means a lot to me.

Basically, I've suddenly been put under a lot of stress and crap overnight. I'm trying to deal with some very old and deep issues. Over a decade old. Some spanning even long before I was born.

Things are difficult. I see a lot of nervous and mental breakdowns on the horizon. When did life become so difficult?

When you're 20 years old, you really shouldn't have a bloody care in the world. I should be discovering how to vomit at 4 am without getting any on my hair or something. That should be the top priority in my life.

Anxiety can be so... hurtful.

Anyway. Rant over. Once again. Thank you all for looking and liking my pictures.

I finally made it over the 10,000 page views hurdle!

The excitement!

On another note:

My bento box finally arrived. I decided to take the plunge and make myself some bento for lunch to save money, and to resolve to eat healthier. No more eating deep fried fat on a stick for lunch! More excitement!

Hello everyone,

Now, I don't usually do features, but I found by stalking the new deviations section, and I just had to share him.

One of my favourite types of photography is long exposure photography, and he does it so perfectly and beautifully. He has some new images up there which I haven't had a chance to go through, but I'm sure you will!



I also happened to come across who creates these stunning landscapes. I happen to fall in with the flora that he has hidden away in his gallery.



And of course his use of colour is just as perfect.

Since I have a million hours on my hands now for the next few days, I've been exploring hundreds of new deviations and plenty of new deviants.

There is some truly beautiful and original work out there that everyone should take the time to explore!
