Hello everyone,


God, I missed this place. I just went through my favourites gallery and I wanted to cry. Happy tears, mind you. This place has given me so much, showed me so much beauty in so many different forms and I feel terrible and a bit stupid for neglecting it for such a long time. I have friends here that I didn't take care of and look after, I have art here that I missed simply because I couldn't be bothered to look at it. I missed out on beauty and things that would have made me happy because I was sitting around, being bored and feeling sorry for myself. But no more of this. Things have been looking up for me lately and just being on here made me feel so warm and happy inside, like coming home to an old friend. I really should have paid more attention to this place. But you see, I will now. It's time for me to get back on the horse, especially seeing as I recently applied at University for Journalism and Creative Writing. I have to start writing and reading again and I have to actually take the time to do so. Starting today.

I deleted all the deviations and journals and news and such that have been piling up for ages because there was no way I could have looked at and commented on over 2,000 deviations and 600 Journals. If there is anything in particular that you'd like me to have a look at, let me know. Otherwise I'm very sorry for all the beautiful pictures, photos, drawings, poems, stories, etc. I missed out on. But you see, it's my loss.

Either way, things are looking good. As I said, I applied at 5 different Universities around London, I (hopefully!!) have a job starting Monday, I'm visiting my Grandma this weekend, I'm living with Paul and his family which is going very well, and it's only 7 more weeks before I'm going to the USA to visit all my friends in Ohio! Paul is coming too and it will be great to show him my second home, after I was already able to show him Germany and that. I'm very much looking forward to it. Things are looking up rather than the depressive state of "I don't know what I want to do", I moved on to "I'll just start and do and try things and see how it goes" and I have to tell you, it's MUCH better and nicer and easier.

Anyway, so much for me. I'm hoping to get a sub soon, but I can't really afford it at the moment, sadly. Once I have one though, I shall pimp my journal and check out the new things dA added while I was gone.

I hope everyone is doing well! I missed you guys and I tell you, it feels great to be back! Let me know what's been going on with you people.

Lots of love,



Carla xxx

PS. I shall also start updating and reviving my club ~here-to-help too. Anyone who'd like to help with that, let me know.
