When I got deep in Addicted To photoshop and howrse, it was pretty bad. I didn't sleep mostly, I barely ate unless it was at the computer, I gained a LOT of weight and I was just.. completely and utterly addicted. Well, I somehow pulled myself out of it thats to some severe critism from my mum and family and now, after about 6 months, i'm back on howrse (Er.. making layouts xD) and DA is going pretty good. Remembering myself like that.. I think there would be no possible way I could become 'addicted' again.

Sometimes, you need a break. Maybe not as long of a break as I took, but if you take a week off and come back on, you'll be surprised how good you feel.

About your friend, I know EXACTLY how you feel.
When I came back to Canada [Jeez, Lissie. NO MORE STORIES!] someone who I had briefly gone to school with 2 years before, was going to the highschool that I was going to. I talked to her and she was just dumbstruck that I was back..
I think about a week after, there was a conversationg going on about gay and lesbian relationships in society. I opened my mouth and said that "I have no problem with whatever they're doing, as long as I'm not forced into it. They're members of society too and, I think, should to be included." Well, she didn't agree.
It's now July. I said that in.. April. We haven't spoken once, not for lack of trying on my part.
Have I mentioned she's arab? Arabs can hold a grudge until the end of freaking time. So, WHY Is she not speaking to me? For my own personal opinion. Thats pretty low.

Honey, you're not a failure at all. Anyone who tells you that you're not going anywhere in life really isn't helping. You are one of the best artists and people I know. When someone was stealing my art, who did I go to? I'm pretty sure I went to you and Jen, 'cause I was sure you would know what to do. You're a great person, Alais and you can do whatever you want in life. Don't let people decide for you. And hey.. if you don't know, you know... my uncle is 19, and he has no idea what he wants to do yet. And hes already in university! You can figure it out along the way. You don't have to mbe one of those who knows their calling by age 6. Take some breathing time. I'm sure half your grade has no idea what they want to do!

So, If you decide to take a break, remember you'll be all of us behind you and we'll be here for you when you get back.

If you decide to read all this, Bravo on you!
Now, Lissie out! *puts on sunglasses and struts off*.

Aww, alais honey, don't get yourself down so much. Your art is amazing, and everybody needs a break sometimes :hug:

I can't really say much that would help with your friend, but I sure hope you two sort things out together.

Even if it doesn't matter that much to anyone, a ton of people love you here, and if you need to take a break you will be sorely missed. Of course no-one can make decisions for you, but I'll just say that if you leave DA, I'll eagerly await the day I can talk to you again.

Stay strong, we love you.

moo. xoxo

What are you doing in my Nabootique?
In your what, pal?
:hug:

Sometimes we do need to jump back in reality and take a break from here. I had to and when I came back, it was all somewhat better.

Take as long as you need to hun! ^_^ We will be here for you when you return! :hug:

you really shouldn't have said that


The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

You can't leave for awhile! You have lots of good pictures and you're still suppose to be taking that picture of a kangaroo I'm sure that will be a hit well if its not it'll be a hit for me. Don't leave please.

To be honest, I am not likely to see a kangaroo any time soon. Like I said before, unless I go to a zoo, I won't be able to photograph any, they don't run around wild near me. So if you'd like kangaroo photos, have a look around, I'm sure you'll come across many lovely ones.
Awww, thankyou Lissie honey. Reading that really did make me feel a little better. Knowing that its not just me being completely paranoid and going through similar things is wonderful, even though its not the greatest thing to have in common with somebody else...hmmm. ^^'

The thing with my friend is that it happens not once, but over and over. Today he acted like none of that ever happened, talked to me as cheerfully as anything. And when I tried to ask him what was wrong yesterday, he acted like he had no clue what I'm talking about. As though its just me being well...me.

I guess I'll probably be away for a week or so, let myself breathe for a change. Not that it'd be much use since its the holidays anyway. Perhaps I'll just be lurking around faving other people's work like usual. I just don't know.
I love you too Moo, very much. Thankyou so much for taking the time to make that comment, it really did make my day a bit brighter.

I'm always looking forward to chatting with you on msn whenever you're free - I can't imagine not having a chance to talk to you. :)

I'm just considering what to do with myself right now, in terms of da and real life. But I doubt I could ever bring myself to leave for real. I love this place too much.
:hug: Thankyou Jen! For the support and everything, I can't say how much I appreciate it. Even though in my case, the virtual world might be better than reality ever will. ^^'
Hehe, the love is all around! See, everyone's feeling better already :heart:

I like, never go on msn though, but if it was for you I'd do it, because come on, who wouldn't want to talk to you?

And, on a last - short - note, I agree with everything Lissie had to say. You know what? We should start and alais fanclub!

*runs of to lissie with 'i support awesome alais' flag*
