I'm going to be living in the USA before the end of 2009... Wow.
It's funny how things happen so fast. For the past eight months, I've been living on eggshells it seems, as my entire life was hanging on a date I didn't know/have at the time. Didn't know when to give notice to my employer. Didn't know when to book all my fancy (and highly unnecessary) medical exams. Didn't know when to book visits across the border, or when I'd be finally packing and moving along.
After one phone call, there are now countless markings on my calendar, and my life is finally headed towards a goal I know, can see, can prepare for.
It's incredible.
And it's coming so soon. Oi.

One year, 2000+ deviantions, close to the same number of notes, messages, notices and the like...
It's been a long time.
I don't know what compelled a visit to what once was my little home within the web, and yet lingering over the work of familiar artists for last couple of hours has proven to be a welcomed change of pace.
So much of my time right now is focused on the essence of change. A silly thing to say, of course, as our lives are nothing if not a string of shifting moments. But how many times can we stop and say, "That - that right there - is what changed it for me," and recognize the instant that we said the right thing or found the strength to make the right move for ourselves?
I've lost count of how many times I have thanked the blessings given to me for knowing, over the past year, when to sit and stay, when to move on, forward, to betterment. When to say what had to be said. When to risk it all. When to lose to win.
I'm happier and more frightened than I can ever remember feeling. If I didn't feel so out of touch with formulating words into some sort of comprehensive thought on paper, I'd have such powerful inspiration to draw on.
I have, however, posted some of the pieces I've written over the past couple of years that I was fairly happy with and felt they needed a place. It only felt right to contribute something after filtering through all of the incredible pieces I've missed from fellow artists over the past year.
