That's all, thanks guys. I appreciate it! I look forward to seeing what the next roster holds. Thank you! I'M EXCITED FOR MY BIRTHDAY

Come on guys, who made it through?
Did you lose everything because of a lost e-mail, or are you still alive? SPEAK TO ME

EDIT: looks like a bit of people made it, now for the real question: who's still staying?
I don't want to add to the drama and I will try to keep my gallery here since it's a huge collection, but what I'm more worried about is you guys, since you're the reason I'm here.

If you want to talk amongst yourselves, please be civil! I'm gonna be away from here just a few hours 'cause I got things to do but I'd love to read your opinions and stuff when I get back.

Remember when I said I'll try and do my best to finish that commission queue unless my health got in the way? Well, it got in the way, so I'm going to have to clear my old journals and recollect old commissioners if they still want work done and start fresh. Next time I won't be open for forever, I tried that and I am way too mentally weak to go through with it all.

Right now, today, I can do 3 sketches of your character in this style: (waist-up shaded sketch) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CiHbIA5UoAAYEfe.jpg

AND if anyone wants to take a bonus slot, I have gray markers and can do a traditional portrait of your character on 8.5" x 11" bristol paper, and ship it to you unframed. I just want to take one and get a feel for it. Shipping is included in the price! Here are some examples of what I can do with markers:
http://imageshack.com/a/img921/5803/SV2KlK.png

These are both unfinished but i"m just trying to show that I'm not incapable of using markers as a medium.

Shaded Sketch: 110$ USD, 3 spots
1.  sylvertears
2.  sleepylp
3.  poonani

★ BONUS Traditional Marker/Pencil Sketch on Bristol: 250$ USD
Slot 1: OPEN (Please ask to claim, will be discussed through notes for your shipping address)

For people who are still interested in getting their spot from this journal, just let me know. After this I will have to clear the queue because a lot of the requests are now 2 months out of date.

I am trying to decide on using a website for my business outside of commissions, or for Patreon. I feel like Patreon may have better benefits to offer over a website, but I just thought I'd ask what they are... if anything. I know Patreon has a tax form I would have to fill out because I'm outside the US, but I just want to know opinions of what would be better business-wise, since I've never done this before.

Right now, my mind is in favor of my website because I can deal with PayPal and there's none of that managing people who don't pay on Patreon; if someone wants to download a tutorial from my website, it's a one-off payment of 10$ or something, you know?

I like that Patreon can pay a regular budget, like that whole 500$/per month, because my website's traffic and sales may not be stable month-to-month, unless I set up a VIP room in my website where I'm available for teaching and chat among other special things.

Let me know what you think from a business standpoint. I just want to be able to sell my art online as conveniently and as in control as possible.

Hey guys,

first of all: OH MY GOD. Thank you all so so so much for all the help I've received, big and small! I was able to fully cover my electricity bill, my phone, and my rent this month. For a little review, I was struggling with anxiety and depression, was medicated for my anxiety but not my depression, and i was left with a crippling depression that made me unable to have any hope in myself or my art, so work had been way too difficult for me to do to sustain myself.

But, in the past couple of days I've been running around, paying my bills and getting my electricity turned back on. The only bill I have left is my internet but that's easily covered! I started a regimen to pay my bills by the 15th of each month, and my rent by the first, so I have a bi-weekly schedule to go on instead of a monthly one which will keep me on my toes. I'm gonna be in counsel with a few of my friends to make sure I have a good head on my shoulders.

For all the donation doodles, I'm gonna be doing little sketches, group pictures, and things like that, I am so freaking grateful, and thank you for understanding that I want to thank you when I can! Right now I'm a little preoccupied with getting my shit together (excuse my language), I don't want to get to that awkward point of being self-sustaining but needing donations... Nah. I work for my money, but I have to remember not to be afraid to ask for help because I have been doing this on my own for almost 6 years now. I'm not as young as I was or as eager, so I can't let my pride get in the way, and I'm just so super happy you guys helped me up an back up on my feet because to be honest, with all the drama and social anxiety I accumulated from this website, I had kind of lost hope or faith in people in general and truly believed no one would help me THIS MUCH. I'm really happy I was wrong, these past few days have been the lightest I've felt in years, nothing else matters but getting ahead because you guys gave me the momentum to keep going... the best respect I can give is to keep doing my art for you guys because obviously I am loved and supported.

For the donation doodles, like I said, your character could be in a group or solo, I'm just gonna be basically doing what I can and I appreciate everyone who understand that because I really, really needed this help, or I would have gone down an awful homeless path that I just don't even want to get my feet dirty on.

My depression feels lighter too because of this financial burden being lifted. All I can think right now is that I hope I get strong enough some day to make other people feel as loved and happy as they have made me here. <3

160$ USD for a full body colored sketch of your feral character, or anthro character as a feral.

thanks guys!

I've had a vicious art block, freaking out about my bills and stuff, and I realized it's because everything I have to work on has to be colored before I get paid for it when I just can't do color right now. That's why that journal had an option for b/w or color – but everyone chose color.

So, if anyone can help me out and get a sketch commission that would really help me out, and then I can get back to the color queue once I get it out of my system!

Price: 90$ USD
7 slots available for now.

Other info?: Anything I need a heads up about. :)



Thank you guys for helping me out in this area - I'll be back to coloring once I feel confident again. I don't want to half-ass any art for anyone!

A lot of my old friends are going to be attending MFF, WHICH I JUST HAVE NO REASON NOT TO GO now that I'm in progressively better mental health! I still have money problems and a few things to get together with my life, but nothing that can't be solved if I try and get everything done on time... For example, I still need my passport! And then I need to save up... I'm not planning on getting a booth, but I will be taking some "on-the-spot" sketch commissions OCCASIONALLY in my down time when I need a breather from all the excitement (if there's even a break at all, something tells me it's just going to be havoc when I get there because I'll be the tazmanian devil incarnate)

ANYWAYS just thought I'd give a heads up that this is my one BIG goal for the year... it was literally a goal of mine 4 years ago but I let reality take over my online life which I don't regret, but wish I would have done differently. Live and learn!

I'll get everything more updated as time goes on, but the main reason I'm going to MFF is to finally see these best friends of mine,  fawnspots and  barketype and I think  22mg might be going too! Not sure exactly who I'll be rooming with, but it will most likely be with these fine people. I'll just be there to scream at people, give hugs and draw 11 dogs on ur body with a sharpie. I might also be intoxicated as the night goes on, which is okay because every situation where I'm drunk, people just start laughing more around me when I'm not calling out God on his bullshit. IT'S A GIFT

So all in all, fair warning that I'm going to attempt to make it to MFF. We'll know this for sure when I post a journal saying I've received my long overdue passport. :D

HERE A TWIT, THERE A TWIT, EVERYWHERE A TWIT TWIT

just my ramblings about life, U KNOW, a twitter... i've been using it consistently for a couple weeks and seem to like it so I figured i'd share

plus I want to start going to cons! so idk u can get to know me more there. Basically the antidepressants i'm on are making me alive and aware again instead of the pseudo-awareness I had post-medication (notice my art is getting better? -I'M- getting better!)

RANDOM LIFE RANT RAMBLINGS: I'm not so stressed out about things any more cause my anxiety is mostly gone and feel (honestly) a little more badass, although QUESTION!!! my anxiety comes out as honest rage and anger now?? any one know how to control this? It's like i'm not afraid to be me, but there's just too MUCH me, like i'm a VERY honest person to the point of being a socially unaware douchebag because i'm just hellbent on telling it like it is? LIKE I'M SUCH A REAL PERSON, it feels good to be like this, but people almost LIKE to be lied to and sugar-coated and i will slap things RAW in people's face with no empathy or regard to their emotions because 98% of the time what I say NEEDS to be said. The things I say are things I WISH someone told me while I was basically drowning and dying in my own misery (sry to be emo)... Like I did have friends that said things like "I don't know who you are any more" and even though I was VERY sick physically and mentally, it snapped me out of it for at least a day, and I thank my friends so deeply for that because sometimes the beast does get out of control and needs to be put back it's place. I like to think about it as fighting someone's demons. I LOVE the people I yell at, I love the people I get angry with because I'm a big ol' momma and don't want to see anyone get hurt. It's funny, because I can hate someone as much as I want - and hate comes from the heart, which i understand, so the hate comes from caring, so it's like love in a sick way. IDK I LOOK AT LIFE FUNNY because I have to. I'm stuck in my head - a natural introvert - so I have to make ties with reality to my idealism - which is to see people at their best, FIGHTING FOR THEMSELVES and WHAT IS RIGHT. Right now we're in a very black and white world and it's become harder to live because people are more sensitive and pussyfoot their way around everything, and everything becomes a soft lesson. I believe in hard lessons. I've been give hard lessons all my life, starting with my parents, to my friends, to my work, to my relationship with myself and god/everything. It's all kinda been hard for me; not as hard as some, but just a little unnatural, a little difficult. I was raised weird and I'm weird because of it. I'm damaged because of it, but I FEEL more because of it... I feel people's pain, loneliness, suffering; i've been there, you know? I don't say much about my offline life but in the past few years I've really come to understand a lot more. Violence doesn't make me cry any more. Violence is unnecessary, but it's also natural. The world is surrounded by violence and I was very anxious, scared and terrified everyday because of it's dominion over not only us, but the natural world too. when I was anxious i couldn't understand predators and having to kill another living soul to eat. I still don't get it, but it makes a little more sense now. I certainly don't cry when I see a cheetah kill a zebra any more.

Sorry for ranting, I know I'm crazy, and there's probably going to be a lot of change seen here with me shortly. I'm tired of being tired, pushed around and beaten up because I didn't want to fight. I'm tired of watching things I care about suffer all over the world because I didn't want to fight. Fighting's a part of life, and I believe in fighting for what's right. If I don't fight, my demons take over. My demons have been at the wheel since I lost esteem for myself as an artist when all the shit happened. People don't realize how much damage their bullying causes people. It's not fair to destroy someone over human error. If you didn't want me to fuck up, go get a printer to make the art for yourself. I work for a LOT of people. My mind is always going because of ADHD and anxiety. I'm tired and peppy all at the same time. I'm a human being who hurts and gets tired after staying up for too long, and if I deserved to be treated like I have been by these people who don't even know who I am, then I also deserve to fight back. I was destroyed by injustice so many times and I'm still here. I'm still drawing. A year ago I was close to giving up everything - I truly believed I was worthless. And I wondered every time it crossed my mind if these assholes really believe that putting me down was worth it. I never fought back or explained myself. I was depressed. It was easier to just be the punching bag than to take a swing in return. Which is okay, I've never been a consistently aggressive person. It worked for me for a while to ignore it, but I can't deny how much it hurt. I'm grateful for the people who still support me and don't even care about this any more. It's just annoying when I go to make a new friend and the internet pissed on my name because they couldn't deal with it personally and had to make their issues public. You could have destroyed an artist that makes people happy. I don't get destroying artists. I never will. But I'm biased, and we artists have a lot of privilege these days, so it's only balancing that we get the bad with the good.

AND also about my art... this account is going to become a commissions collection account (it already is?) and my personal work and business will be migrated to my website which is undergoing revision once again (didn't like the name so I have to start over with a theme). I've been studying MASSIVELY if you haven't noticed, so a lot of my older art from a year ago onward is a big pissoff for me, but I leave the gallery as a timeline of my progress because about 3 pages in I want to start punching my eyeballs and ask "HOW THE FUCK DID I GET POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL ON THIS?" because right now... with newfound education... all my old work looks like puke to me. Too much black, contrast, wrong value, poor anatomy... this embarrassing list goes on. But it's here so you can see my growth. ONLY HERE. Everywhere else is going to be going professional portfolio style with my favorite pieces.

anyways rant over haha i have nothing else to talk about

tl;dr: don't fuck with me i'm doing something

 deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro

I don't usually do features, but this is a special case. They've been around for 7 years, and only have 2500 pageviews and 688 watchers.

THEIR ART STYLE AND PAINT WORK IS AMAZING. Their color and use of texture is breathtaking, and their aesthetic sense is to die for. I can only see this artist getting better, so please go check them out and give them some long-overdue support and praise.

Here are some of my favourite pieces:

This beautiful classical portrait,
this forlorn evening warrior,
and this sad and muzzled boy.

 deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro  deadro

Yup yup yup.
It'll be up and running once I get a little substance on there! I just want a review from you guys about a few things because I want this to be the best nest for myself and anyone who stops in for a visit.

First thing I'd like to know;
How do you feel about the website/studio name Spectrum Nectar? I feel like it captures the use of color in my art while incorporating the sweet natural food source from blossoms... and a play on "Eye Candy". What do you think? The mascot will be a fruit bat or hummingbird, and the theme will be exploring the beauty of life and nature.

Second thing I'd like you to know;
Remember I had this Renamon tutorial (barely nsfw) a few years back? I'll be re-doing it and it will be one of the freebie tutorials on my site. Also, I will provide brush sets and textures and tutorials for installing and using them. :)

Third thing;
SITE CONTENT!

Home page - Featured artwork and splash page. Not sure what to include here besides a really nifty internet welcome mat, and maybe some news/upcoming works in progress.

Artwork - Have a splash page with separate links to:
Main Gallery - just a plain old portfolio gallery page organized by date, with 2 (height-wise or length-wise, undecided) featured images framing the gallery thumbnails.
Novel Work - I'm writing a graphic novel. I don't know about what yet, but I know it has to happen.
Designs - Characters, species, original creations and information about them.

Resources - The best part of the site - for artists! Tutorials on color, shapes, principles and elements, tips, walkthroughs, developing a personal style. Brushes, textures. An artist's guide to commissions, and various other subjects dealing with art progress and business. Not everything here will be free, unfortunately, since I am trying to replace some of the time I spend doing commissions with teaching young and budding artists how to make it in this crazy world.
[Please don't hesitate to request an idea for a tutorial!]

Blog - Probably going to be the living room of my website where I do all my fun chilling and chatting. I don't know. I know I say crazy things so hey, why not share those crazy things.

About - Self-explanatory. A short bio about Summer the artist and Summer the person. :)

Contact - Also self-explanatory. A form for you to fill out to contact me personally about questions, comments, or good ol' fashioned fan mail.

Shop - Original art and prints for sale. There will be external shops such as Redbubble for merchandise and clothing. Commissions might be dealt with here, but it will most likely be set up via e-mail notifications.

Let me know what you think about this blueprint, and if anything needs to be added or subtracted. I appreciate the feedback!


Fourth thing;
EDIT: Going to go with the less costly 129$ Premium Wordpress plan. Then will upgrade accordingly the next year.

^{To get set up with a Business Wordpress Site is 389$ a year. I'm not sure if this would be a wise move, and I'm just asking anyone who has made websites before if this would be a proper investment. If it is, would anyone care to donate to get me started, and we can discuss my end of the bargain? I don't particularly want to do 400$ worth of art for it (I'm adjusting to antidepressant medication right now and drawing is sometimes too exhausting for my mind), but I am willing to ship and give away old art I have as well as do one custom traditional commission for you (400$ is a fair bit of money and I'm not asking for it for free). I could get this on my own so I'm not demanding it, I'm just really excited and honestly want to be supported for this because this is a big step for me and I don't want to eat all this goddamn cake by myself do it all alone. I have already purchased the domain, I just need to know if Wordpress business is even necessary at all... to be honest though I just feel like a really excited kid and I haven't felt so passionate about my art in a long time. I've been working on the skeleton of the website for the past month so this isn't something I just want to put down and forget about. I want to help now that I'm older and wiser! Perhaps if I do receive donations from kind donors, I will post about 3-4 free tutorials this year... which will be well over the value of the business site for anyone who wants to learn to paint. Okay okay, enough mooching. It just doesn't hurt to ask. :) Send me a note if you wish to help, any contribution is fine and I'll compensate you for it!}

Fifth thing;
That's it. Let me know what you think, if you're happy and excited about this or whatever! I know I am~ I really want to give back and teach artists what I've learned so far in life and in painting. I know I've been saying it for a while but this time I'm not fucking around. It's the year of the Monkey. I'm a Monkey. MY YEAR. ALL MINE!

EDIT: Feb. 04 2016 - Sorry for my delay in responding, I'm getting back to you all now. Thank you for your interest!
EDIT: Feb. 29 2016 - Uh, there's just a little too much now. I thought it was a good idea but apparently mostly everyone wants my art... gotta close 'em for now. No worries though, I will get to everyone in time. Thank you for this work privilege to experiment stress-free :)

Hey again guys, I figured I'd just open up for some commissions to be done at my own pace with no deadline. First come, first serve - reserve your spot sooner than later! Turnaround time can be 1-30 days depending where you land in the queue. If it takes any longer than that due to life happenings, I'll ask to see if you're still interested when I return to this queue.

Due to the style of the "Wing-It"commission, some of these works may be experimental in nature. :) Don't worry though, nothing out of character!


1 Sketch Wing-it - 75$ USD
1 Colored Sketch Wing-it - 150$

Hi guys, sorry for not posting a journal for this month, I've been dealing with some things and it's left me tired and drained with very little energy to work on larger projects at the moment.

So just so I have small things to work on in between the rest of the commissions for the year, I'm opening sketch pages that I will work on in my own time, casually. Casual Commissions. Just post here with what you want me to draw for you, and I will get it done when I can. There are 2 options I can offer right now... each is a bust shot of your character from the shoulders up.

1 Sketch Portrait - 25$ USD
3 Sketch Expression Sheet - your character making 3 expressions - 60$ USD
One character per sheet for now

EXAMPLES OF MY SKETCHES: (like this but done digitally... and better since i have 2 years experience since these were done) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11375344/

Sorry this is a few hours late, I slept in!
Here is my previous queue I'm working through right now:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7007827/

Once they are all complete I will begin taking stream commissions throughout the month in higher frequency, although I am trying to decide stream times. Most likely they will be hosted at 2pm EST, Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs, but that is subject to a small change since it's an estimation of the time and energy I will have. I don't expect to stream longer than 6-8 hours on these days, so it leaves room for a couple slots to be snagged each time I stream. First come, first serve, since payment is due upon the request of your order, wherein it will be completed in real-time in-stream.

Thank you, it's been a while since I could work heavy loads for Christmas, so I've figured I'll try and work as fast and hard as I can to churn out art for lovers and friends at this time of year for the next two months.

Mostly, they will be 1-2hr sessions for 90$ USD, of this quality:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17576203/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17502317/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17502282/

and 2-3 hour speedpaints for 150$ USD:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17918824/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18004834/

NOTE: You are welcome to ask for a background, they are included in the price, no extra charge this month!

Extra characters are +50%, so they would be 135$ USD for the colored sketch with 2 characters (2-3 hours), and 225$ for a speedpainting with 2 characters (4+ hours). Each upgrade will add an extra hour of work to your commission, respectively. :)!

Also, there might be mini-streams I hold outside of these larger commissions for smaller commissions like sketches and headshots for 35$ USD. They may also happen at the end of a stream if I have time, or to pass time while waiting. I just thought I'd offer a less expensive option. I'm trying to get out of a financial rut myself, so all help really means a lot to me, and I want to try and give back where I have time.

I'll post stream times next week on Sunday once I find out what's good for me to work with. In the meantime, on Wednesday + Thursday (Monday/Tuesday I have to tend to previous commissions) I'll be streaming around 2pm EST, if anything is subject to change, I will definitely let you know in stream or update the journal here.

Thank you for your help and support, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Can't wait to start streaming!

hey! so I'm going to try and apply a new technique but I need some practice, and wonder if there are any willing victims? i just need a break from all the big commissions i've been plugging away on.

I would really like feral this time around, since they're easier for me to color. I can turn your anthro character feral too if that's what you want!

They'll be 90$ USD for something of this quality: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17918805/ and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17918824/
and they'll take about an hour to do.

I'll start a stream once someone shows interest! I'll take 2 slots for tonight.

If you want a spot, please comment here with:

I'm just finishing up a commission from yesterday for  spunky_mutt which should be done in an hour, then I will take orders for 2 in-stream commissions! I will ask in-chat who wants the next spot and the first to answer will get it. :') They are 95$ USD each and will be this quality: Example 1, Example 2, Example 3.

Turnaround time is approximately 1 hr - 1 ½ hr. Delivered the next day via note with final tweaks and touch-ups. :)

Anyways, come on by. :') This stream should be about 4-5 hours long.

85$ USD each, Waist-up, quickly colored sketch (like this) with a 1-2 hour turnaround. First come, first serve, I will ask who wants the next and the first to answer will get the spot! Payment is due before the work is started, and is done right there in the stream, and delivered via note after the stream. Just doing this for warm-up before I start bigrottiedawg's BIG commission! (I will be open for a few of these tomorrow too!)

Please ask in-stream if you want to purchase one, and I will give you my Paypal after I receive your reference information. :)

I'm probably only going to take 3-4 of these depending on how quickly they are done, it's just the end of the month and this last week has been hard on me so I have to crack down and pay my bills. YAY ADULTHOOD *waves white flag very enthusiastically*

Anyways, if y'all are interested, my stream is here, and I will be working on whatever I'm asked today. :') Should be around a 5-7 hour stream.

I'm trying to figure out what to do next, as commission work has finally taken it's dues from me, and I want to really branch out into personal work, so I was thinking about starting a Patreon, starting a comic based on Damascus' life, and creating worlds and concepts. I don't talk about it a lot here but I've been educating myself in the sciences of the world, such as evolution, biology, psychology, and spirituality. I feel like all this learning has been in vain if I don't somehow find a way to live off of the messages of truth I've been chasing my whole life.

I love doing commission work for people, but those pieces only speak to a few people. I want to inspire, create tutorials of art and learning, and urge people to seek learning and truth in their own lives. I can't run from who I am, I am very to myself and my energy is restored through my own inner functions, rather than the comfort of the outside world. I want to explore the mind I was given and share my journey with the world. I don't see much other option for me. I love people. I love fantasy. I love creation, and without these things in my life, I feel like a waste, even if other people do not see it that way.

I am just trying to get some feedback, maybe from other artists who went in this personal direction because I really don't know where to start on my own. I know I'm all over the place, I'm just trying to figure out what to do. I want a car so I don't have to be so alone any more, and can visit my friends in the city with the comfort of my own home in a quiet town just outside. I want to become a better artist and chase my own dreams and paint them and live off and with them.

Wah! Sorry for my rambling. I need new thoughts to preoccupy my mind, I've been in a sad place and I want the storm clouds to go away. Truth be told, I don't want to be a furry artist for the rest of my life.

I've been having a crappy week, still battling anxiety and the sads, and last night i was rejected by a partner of mine for someone else and I'm just kinda muffled about the whole thing, and really want to work, and stream, and get my mind off it, just for today, just to get the gears going again. Maybe laugh a little, you guys are good for that. Everyone should have a party after a breakup and this is how I wanna do mine. AHAHA :') /weep

I'll start streaming in about 20-30 minutes, I just wanna know if anyone wants to commission something really happy. Preferably with falvie involved, being forced to be happy. Or just something your character is doing to cheer her up. A random act of kindness!

so, a picture of your character featuring mine for 150$ USD, rendered like a colored sketch - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11738100/ and done in stream that will start in about 20-30 minutes.

Please comment if interested! I appreciate anyone willing to do this for me. I just wanna get over this as soon as possible and get on with living a happier life.

(falvie is experiencing technical difficulties and will be returning to regularly scheduled commissions after this break)

EDIT: Thank you, I really appreciate that you guys are willing to do this for me! I feel happier already ;-;

Still working the July Queue:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6855482/

I didn't expect my summer to be so busy, it's hard to find time to sit down and draw (or even to just sit at a computer!!!). See you next month when my queue is a little more clear!

I hope all of you are enjoying the sun <3

i'm still on my journey of self-discovery, and it's been hecka fun! i've been realizing a lot of things about the way people behave and why they do so, things are a HECK of a lot more clear to me and not all muddled in sickness and emotion, so i've been delighted about that!

one thing i realized caused a lot of my unhappiness was my idealism, that i literally had and have to tame with realism so that i'm not infinitely miserable for the rest of my life. i was just wondering what it's called to have an idealistic mind tamed by a conscious effort to stay grounded to reality? "down to earth" is close but i figure there has to be a philosophy for it.

in other news, i've been back to learning about psychology and what not. ever since the doctor found out what was wrong with me, it was like things just kept getting better and better for me, just because it's a heck of a lot easier to maintain balance in my mind now. WATCH YOUR IRON LEVELS PLEASE OH MY GOD. iron carries oxygen through your blood to your organs (as far as i know, correct me if i'm wrong, i'm not a doctor!) so you have to be careful that your iron levels are high enough so that your brain (and other important life-giving organs) literally gets to breathe. i really don't want anyone to deprive their bodies of oxygen, especially learning that apparently one billion people are affected by anemia, aaaah! EAT YOUR GREENY GREENS PRETTY PLEASE FALVIE QUEEN OF GREEN COMMANDS IT *flings spinach and broccoli*

introverts make a lot more sense to me because their mind is focused on the inner world (they look "out" into the world from their mind) while extroverts mind's are focused on the outer world (they "soak in" the world around them)... this is obvious but i feel it a lot more than i understand it now. i'm a self-proclaimed ambivert, i love playing with people an having fun but i need my lazy down time to refill the energizer bunny batteries.

AND THEN I LEARNED about how two people can think two different things and still be right. there's an illusion that shows a picture of what appears to be a young woman with a necklace, but if you shifted your perspective of the drawing, you would see that the woman's face becomes an old lady's nose, and that pearl necklace is her mouth. essentially, two views can be right on one subject, but this helped me realize articulate why some conflicting morals/values can be right in different situations and to different people. i thought this was super cool! i learned it from "7 habits of highly effective people" by stephen r. covey :)

ramblings finalized, in total my empathy is like off the charts right now with a bunch of people and i hope to accumulate more knowledge so i can understand the world more because something just opened the lid to an infinite well of motivation to learn

OKAY now that my ranting is over,

"seek first to understand, then to be understood" has been helping a lot, too.

YAY i wanna hear your thoughts on any of this!!! <333 I LOVE LEARNING AH *__*
