Description
I am barely on here anymore, at it really does make me feel so many different emotions. Every time I open up DevinatArt, I instantly get hit with nostalgia. I think back to 8th grade and all the friends I made on here and all the fun stuff we used to make from Rps and all of the work done with The Eight Kingdoms. I remember I used to think that I wouldn't ever "leave" DA and I wouldn't ever stop being active and now I barely have time to get on here. I hated the thought of leaving behind something that was such a big part of my life and every time I do login I feel sad to think about all the fun we used to have, but time changes things and people get busy as they grow older.My time away from DA, I have been promoted at my job twice within a year, I live with my best friend
Now that my life has changed so much, I am spread pretty thin, but I can't help but feel the kid in me begging to be on here more. I miss my old friends and I miss being a part of something fun and creative. Anytime I get on here and give updates on my life or my books, I feel like I will have time and I will be able to do more here. I really do want to, but I say that every time. I have been trying to stay on top of my job, my relationships, my writing, and growing a following. Yet, I could also do that on here. If I took a day to clean up some old stuff, and start posting more then I think I would really get back into this old favorite site of mine. I used to always say I couldn't wait to grow up, and now that I have, I wish I could go back. Hell I'm not even that much older, but middle school seems so far away in my past. I miss DA, and I have kept up with one of my old friends on here through social media, but I do miss our RPs and our work we made for The Eight Kingdoms and for other groups.
If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I ever would've finished my books. I loved to write, but it was my friends on here that made me want to go the distance. I finally got around to making a site for my books and I made sure to showcase Thilil 's fanart she had made for my characters all those years back haha it felt really good thinking back on all that and how much support I had backing me up along the way. Life gets in the way sometimes, but I do want to keep making an effort to at least get on here every once in a while. I have so many fond memories made on DA and I don't want to ever forget them.

it is, the most you can do is try your best to do what you want, and if it's easy to let go then there's probably something about it that should be let go.
and to be fair, i'm in the same boat as you. it's hard to stay active on here. but DA ain't the same. :/ it's so much different and the focus is on different things. i still love this place cuz as a guy i get different reactions but yeah it's different.

LMFAO so true XD literally though! I had to stop reading I was blushing so hard and I was like "nope" *delete everything* but of course the emotional hoarder in me wants to save it somewhere still too like you just said lmao I can't help but still want to remember it all, but take it down because jesus christ what the hell was wrong me as a child?? XD none of it should be public haha I can't help but cringe at the thought of people seeing it the whole time I am gone and thinking, "Yep, that's why she isn't active anymore. What a f***king weirdo!" lmfao

lol and this is why we can't run for any political thing EVER lol. "you want THIS person to run your stuff? well look at these things we pulled up" lol especially since you're a published author (and i'm working towards it beyond just one book lol) and this is all here for all to see when they want to know who you were lol
"what shaped you"
*hands DA list* lol
oh god now i want to call in sick to work to clear my gallery of everything xD thanks! lol

yeahhhh I just did some looking around and idk how I feel about some of the changes they have made, but I am glad that the site is growing at least. It feels so weird thinking about how different it was when I was active on here years ago. I feel so old now XD

lol you and me both. i'm 26 and i get "kids" calling my music "oh that's that old song," or "oh hey my dad listens to that band" lol it aint' right.
and yeah the evolution of DA went it's natural route i'm sure, but i was here when writing and original content not based on or within fandoms were at the height. nothing against any of that now, but it's just one of thse things that i wish had stayed relevant and big. now its...it's different to say the least lol
