Step 47: Leave The Past In The Past

I learned a few tough lessons last year, and one experience in particular had me fleeing social media for months on end (hence why I haven't posted here in ages). The trust I had placed in people whom I thought I could confide in had been betrayed, and as a result I failed to uphold the trust others had placed in me. It was a lose-lose situation all around, and those bridges dumpsters have regrettably been burned.

An apt metaphor for 2016 on the whole.
It took me several months, but I've finally pruned most of my social media accounts to remove any vestiges of whatever might threaten to remind me of that awful period in my life. Not because I harbor any ill will toward anyone, but because I live in a perpetual state of anxiety and the thought of imposing my online presence on anyone who wants me to go die in a fire turns my insides into knots. If for whatever reason I unfollowed or unfriended anyone reading this by mistake, please consider sending me a message and I will correct my error.

Feel free to slide right on into my DMs.
Now that that's out of the way, I have... well, really nothing new to report. I'm working on another illustration project at the moment that will be announced sometime in the near-ish future, and it's all very glamorous work (and by glamorous, I mean me sitting in my studio hovering over my tablet for hours on end and drinking copious amounts of coffee). I'd like to think that I'll have much more to write about soon considering everything I have queued up in the pipeline, but we all might die in a nuclear fallout tomorrow, so who knows. At the very least, you can find me posting on Twitter and Facebook once again.

Still better than Donald Trump's Twitter account.
