So it's been over a year since the last journal entry and I don't feel any tiny bit wrong about it. If you ask why, the answer is simple - I didn't have an internet connection at my place this past year

And I DID survive! Not like it's something to be proud of...
[bitching] I guess noone's actually interested, but this year was really hard on me. Studies, family issues, illness, no work prospects, friends' life falling apart while I can do nothing to save them - you can say it's a usual stuff that bothers all of us and noone's making much of a fuss over it, but for me it just got unbelievably hard to deal with and I started to feel I'm loosing it little by little. I'm not even sure why I'm writing this, as I learned to restrain myself from exposing my problems so bluntly in public, especially on the net. Maybe not 'learned', rather naturally came to do so out of my own needs. Hell, I can't even open to my closest friends anymore and tell them directly what's bothering me, although I always used to do it with no keeping back.
That is why I think I might have been less communicative than I used to be and it's possible I've hurt some because of this, not quite unconsciously. I'm trying to change it. I also feel that things are going to take a turn for the better from now on. It's kinda silly, but these summer vacations taught me how to look on the bright side of things again. Maybe I just needed some change of atmosphere and travelling is what helps me the most.
Somehow, writing all this made me feel better, so let's say it was just a kind of a twisted self-therapy. [/bitching]
Anyways! Thank you all for a neverending support, I'm grateful for every single comment/fav/watch from you. I'm sorry I haven't been active, but I'll try to catch up with everyone from now on. Also, I hope I start drawing again soon. I think about changing account, as I can't stop linking this one with cheap fanart and childish manga style.
I was also going to say that a good thing about being inactive on dA is that most people forget about you and you don't get tagged, but this sly little creature known in some worlds as ~
Star-Miya completely ruined my plan. Thanks, honey.
[cheap self-pity] A few days ago I went to see my friend off at the airport. She was going back to Japan after a one year scholarship in Poland. We only met a few months ago, but got attached to each other in no time and before I knew it, I was already hooked to her.
Up until now seeing someone off at the airport was something I only saw in the movies and didn't really give much thought to it. Teary scenes of friends/lovers being separated at the gates and then one of them watching a plane soaring in the blue skies always annoyed me because of a prim pathos. Funny how things change when you experience them firsthand.
We promised to see each other next year, when I get a scholarship in Tokyo. IF I get it. [/cheap self-pity]
Sorry for the mess I am right now.
