...I was nowhere near where I am now.

I had just discovered this cool-looking art site called deviantART - I had even already posted a couple of pics, and every single one of the few faves they got meant the world to me.
I drew and wrote poorly, for solely myself; and didn't intend to reveal any part of my world to anyone else.
I had just committed to a real gymnastics club, and sucked big time.
I was shy and (more) introvert, with no intentions of changing that whatsoever.
I dreamt high.



Two years ago, I didn't know my life would change like this.
I didn't know I'd grow this much as an artist and meet so many amazing and inspiring people here;
I didn't know I'd stumble in school but always get back on my feet;
I didn't know I'd lose and learn to suffer the way I did, but see my efforts rewarded in so many ways;
I didn't know I'd find myself making heartbreaking decisions;
I didn't know I'd master handstands the way I do now (xD);

And I certainly didn't imagine I'd be getting a book published.


Today I was asked when and where I'd like Engtiae to be released, because it's all set to go. And it's shaped up, and I think I've finally realized that I'm actually having a book published - that Ealin, Vaekal and all the characters I treasure so much will be revealed, shown to the world -, in maybe less than a month or two. It's exciting, and scary, but definitely something I have to go through. Whether people like it or not; whether it sells or not; whether it changes people's opinion on me or not, it will happen and I will grow with the experience, as I have with all experiences throughout my life!

I dunno, I just wanted to rant about lifeh and stuff
Thanks for reading!
