Hey, everybody.

I'm sure you've wondered what happened to me.

As a lot of you know, my mom passed away a while back. That left me and dad in a horrible position - dad was already not healthy, and now I was the only person able to take care of dad. After dad got sicker, and things got tighter, me getting a job - and therefore an income - became something that just couldn't happen. Things like college were out, and things just slowly went downhill more and more.

Today, my dad passed away. And it's been just as hard as when mom died...I loved them both with all of my heart, and losing them both at 22 is not what I ever wanted to think would happen. But now, I have another problem to go with it - I have no income, I'm living in a house I couldn't afford if I DID have income, with very, very little money to my name. I have until the third, then I have to get out. Where I'll go, I can't really say - unless something comes up and I somehow get a job when I have no transportation, and somehow am able to afford some kind of housing arrangement, I'm going to have to crash on somebody's couch or hope I can figure something out. Basically, I'm looking to be pretty close to homeless. My family has problems of their own and are all older in age, so they can only help as much as they can. My money has to basically last me until something happens, but I can't tell you what "something" is. But considering I still have things to do before this month is even up, I can't even say it'll last me the month. After that, I don't know.

I want you all to know this because I don't want you to think I ditched you, anybody here, this site, or drawing. But the stress has been so much on me. Dad was very sick for a very long time. And now, I can't say if I'll have internet for much longer.

I do plan on coming back. But I can't tell you when - when I get things straight, when life is at least somewhat normal...when I have some sort of stability, a job, somewhere to live (hopefully I won't have to burden people for long, and I can find an apartment or something that I can afford) I want to ease back into life again...I want to post here, because I've found many friends through here, and friends are what I need right now.

I have until the 3rd, which means I can reply to any comments, notes, or whatever here until then. If I end up somewhere with the internet, I may be around even after. (I'll let you guys know, if so.) If I suddenly fall off the face of the earth around or after then, you'll know I'm not trying to avoid you guys or anything - I'm more than likely just trying to get my life straight, and probably no internet.

I love you guys. Thanks for everything you've done for me, thanks for all the art, and thank you for being so kind and understanding when I've gone through rough patches. I'll try to answer everything I can until the 3rd. If you want me to see anything, feel free to comment or note me.

I have some points I can give to people I owe stuff to...I don't have many at all, but it might help. Right now I'm not sure where my next meal will be coming from, or my next roof for that matter, so I'm not able to complete what I owe. I never meant to make you guys wait so long. This is not what I ever hoped would happen.

I hope the time when I can feel stable and able to post here more comes soon. I need normal right now. Some kind of normal. It feels like nothing will ever be normal again.

Be safe. And again, I can reply to anything until the 3rd - after then, please don't be upset if I don't reply, I promise I'm not ignoring you! That's the last day I'm allowed in my house. Love you all.
