I haven't written a journal for Deviant Art in two years. Isn't that incredible?
I can give you a brief update on myself.

I graduated! And now I get to attend more schooling, but for things I will love. I am becoming bilingual as we speak, and I now have a laptop.

I haven't yet completed my book of poetry. It's written, but not collected. It may very well never be, but poetry has gotten me to where I am today, even if it goes nowhere else.

I told myself I would quit writing poetry at age 18, I have not yet stopped. It is a wonderful thing, and a fantastic art, I don't think I CAN give it up, and looking at it now, there is no need!

I love life. Even the hard times, and the ones that are sure to come. But, the purpose of life, I believe is to live and to love. These are the things I am trying to do in my life, now and in the future. I want to help other people, and in as many ways as I can, I will.

I cannot wait until tomorrow, as I'm living today, and only hope that it is ever better for me, you, and the world.

We, as people in any country are going through difficult times, but if we look at life not in it's most desperate state, and not through bleak eyes, we will see the beauty, and even the silver lining on each and every cloud over our heads, as God made this world for us, so what is there to dwell on? We must live it.

I hope to continue to visit DA as often as I can muster, there is sure to be some busy scheduling in the near future, but there is always room for this, for art, and for you.

Thank you so much for reading my works, for commenting, and for criticizing. I appreciate every bit of it, and everyone who has helped me throughout the years.

Thank you so much,

Terilyn
