All things considered, I shouldn’t be thankful of anything this year. However after my experiences I think I should be incredibly thankful for it because it’s helped me understand and consider the things that are wonderful in my life more than ever.
Instead of focusing on the bad things that happened, I’m thankful that I have the people in my life who are there to help pick me up whenever I’ve been at my worst, those who I can trust and confide in and really tell me what I should concentrate on when I’m confused and lost. Without my family and friends I would not be here today, and every single day I’m thankful for it because if not for them I probably would’ve done something I could never come back from.
I have a great job with great coworkers, I have an amazing talent that I can easily say only a few in my position have, that I can continue working on my ideas and concepts. I have a very supportive audience that enjoys my art and despite my worries, I am in a good spot, under a roof with two loving animals.
I have never felt more lonely, afraid and depressed than this year, I will admit, as I do have my moments of anxiety and issues. The memory that my father passed away ten years ago, today, still hurts. A LOT of things that happened to me still hurt. But thanks to those who have helped me ongoing with what I’ve had to deal with and not letting my pride get the best of me and seeking emotional help through therapy, it all hurts a little less.
I will continue doing what I love despite it all. As long as I am the good that I want to see in others, I can’t, I WON’T stop while there are people closest to me that care about me, and I’m so thankful for all of it. I don’t want to let them down.
Wishing you a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year, make the most of it. You all matter so much. Be there for others as much as you need to be there for yourself.

Important Updates and Info - Please Read
So as you know, I rarely post here on DA, and there's a bit of a reason for that, many of which I won't go into many personal details. But I wanted to make this journal to inform you where the best method to view my work is at.
It's often difficult to manage so many websites at once, as much as I'd like to, I want to keep my attentions to a minimum of things I feel most comfortable at considering I do so many things at once.
My Twitter, http://twitter.com/awdtwit is probably the best place to get any updates from me and my work. I post frequently and on a daily basis. Whether it's random thoughts, jokes, updates, artwork, and whatever comes
Sketch Commissions / Ebay

Happy late Thankgiving, I know how it feels to go through anxiety and feel depressed which has gotten me beat at times but in the words of Thomas Wayne from Batman Begins "Sometimes we fall to learn to pick ourselves up". Hope things get better and see ya later on the flip side.
