Giveaway Sweets Set

[Tiny Kitten]

I dunno if this is still going on, but I'd like to share what makes me happy in life. It's super cliche but I love to draw. I've been drawing since I was 8 years old, and I've been self taught. I started as any kid would, doodling on notes, taking paper from the printer, or just drawing on the walls in washable marker. I would draw anything from anime- to animals- to life studies, and I got pretty decent. My parents where rarely around, but my mom supported me when she could she even got me my first sketchbook; Which I still have it to this day, and I cherish it as it shows how much I've grown as an artist. I now have over 48 filled sketchbooks and 6 blank ones on my shelf's. But my sketchbooks don't just show my growth but kinda my life, my drawings got really dark and depressing as my mother went through the divorce and we had to move cross country. You can see through dates and sketches the highs and lows of my life. I've documented my life in pictures, and I find it beautiful. Every dark moment has been eased by being able to lock them in between pages in a book. I can pour my heart and soul into the brush and pens and let them rest somewhere other than my shoulders. I can immortalize the happiest moments in my life, and go back and relive those happy memories. I've moved into the digital age as pretty much all artist do and because of it I've been able to share my art and spread a little joy to others who may not be able to create. Art helps millions of people, and it's certainly helped me, and my hope is help others to. (sorry about the long post)

TL;DR I like to draw cause it makes me happy to create and I hope I can help others by making them stuff.

Th thing that makes me happy the most is my Fiance. We've known each other since we were both 15 and 17. I have clinical depression, and he's always found ways to help it when it got bad. He knows how sometimes I get sick easily, so when he gets home from work, he'll bring me medicines and something small like a plushie, or something good to drink. We went on vacation last week to the beach, and I've actually never been until then, so it meant a lot to me. He's bought me a phone since I had to go without one for a while, taken me to the doctor plenty of times, and we watch all types of anime together.

My favorite thing to do is cook with him and play video games together. We usually play Smash Bros or Tekken, and it's aways nice to do. Our little family consists of me, him, and our two kittens we adopted when we moved in together.
He lets me draw on him whenever I'm bored, he listens to me rant about my games, and laughs at me when trying to play through Dark Souls 3. I love him a whole lot, and he's just changed my life for the better.

One thing that makes me happy is makeup. That probably sounds a bit shallow, I guess, but it does. To me, it's a form of art, one I'm actually good at. I feel like I'm not good at much, and when I feel like I'm not good at things I quit. But this is different, maybe because with makeup there's not necessarily a good or a bad, because it's all up to self expression. And another thing about makeup that I love, people have to look at my makeup when they see me. They can choose not to look at my art or not listen to my music or read my writing or whatever, but with makeup they will see my artwork if they see me. I guess I'm pretty decent about it too, because people compliment it. Another thing about makeup is with a lot of makeup junkies like myself (but certainly not all) everyone is so nice about makeup. I see people complimenting each other's makeup all the time and getting compliments makes me happy, but giving compliments on it makes me more happy because when I have, it makes the person so happy especially if it's bold makeup that they're not sure about wearing. Besides all that, makeup makes me less insecure. If I do good makeup, it makes me super confident that day because I feel good about it. It's not like I'm more insecure without it, but being proud of my makeup gives me an extra boost of confidence. I started getting really into makeup a few months ago after I'd gained a bunch of weight because of stress and I was made to feel really bad about it and about how clothes fit and everything, but the beauty about makeup is that it doesn't come in a size and that made me feel amazing that even if my clothes got tighter or I gained even more weight, my makeup would still be there. With makeup, unlike a lot of clothing models, there are makeup artists and beauty gurus of all shapes and sizes and they're all equally beautiful and make their makeup their own form of art just as beautiful. This might have sounded like a mess but I'm really passionate about makeup and I love it, and I'm very fond of the online makeup community, which makes me pretty happy too.

Also, how is the winner decided?

Hmm, what makes me happy... I'm probably going to have to go with animation. Since I was a toddler, I've always loved animated movies and shows. Even now, my YouTube history is filled with things that have to do with shows such as Steven Universe and Gravity Falls or even original animated videos. Animation has been with my since day one, it's always cheered me up. I've even made many of my closest friends through the animations I've watched and (attempted to have) created. It's been a big part of my life so far and I hope it stays that way.

Here is a story to make you happy. When I was little I LOVED AC:CF and I played it every second of my spare time. I was always playing so I started having dreams about AC:CF. One night before I went to bed I turned on the Wii and started playing animal crossing. When I walked out of my house I saw Resetii and I did what everyone does (skip through his blabbering). I played for a couple minutes then it was time to go to bed. I went to bed and had a nightmare about Mr. Resetii coming out of the tv and chasing me all around the neighborhood. I hope that made you happy maybe even laugh. P.s. One day when I was at school my brother reset the whole entire game. I cried like it was the end of the world.

Here is a reason not to miss your boyfriend, you might end up with this one: My sister was on the bus chatting to some friends when her school bag fell on the floor and her art project broke. She swore without thinking and the bus prefect came running up. He chewed her out for twenty minutes and then walked away. He turned round and said: I don't want any more **** from you!

And yes I know that was not funny but my mind is blank and I need the sweets set

I have a nephew who is 4 and I adore him, just love him more than I can quantify. I was 9 3/4 years old when his mama was born and was basically another mama for her throughout her entire life. Of course we're sisters, too, but family dynamics meant I was very hands on I changed most nappies, put her to bed every night, ran to help her when she had bad dreams at 3am, etc etc.. so in a way, her having a baby made me a pseudo grandma, at the age of 28! My 19 year old baby having a baby took *quite* a lot of getting used to.. but Mr 4 is my sunshine and has been since the day he was born.

We spend hours together climbing trees, playing imaginary games, chatting about anything and everything (Mr 4 is quite the deep thinker, a fact neither of his parents were ready for lol!), and "researching" (googling, mostly) anything that takes our fancy. It was coprolite last week. He refused to believe me that dinosaur poo "is so" a kind of fossil..

And so he was allowed to play Animal Crossing for the very first time and was thrilled by everything, but my museum most of all. I read every plaque out to him and he had to talk about each skeleton before moving onto the next. After that, he was ready to accept that I just might be right about coprolite, and move on, so we watched a couple of YouTube videos aimed at young children that explained the process of fossilisation.

All that learning just from a random conversation, Animal Crossing, and educational YouTube videos! The evening ended with him deciding we needed to go back to the Melbourne Museum ASAP so that he could check out that coprolite we'd seen - and touched - before. Now that he knows it's really a dinosaur poo fossil, he wants to "investigate it" with his microscope and other tools.

That's my sunshine!

Ah oops, I didn't see that last post although I scanned every pages before posting. Sorry!

Wow, that sounds like an incredibly stressful mess for you sunwolfx, my goodness. I hope you have people around you that you can trust who are helping you through all this. I'm so sorry, I hope everything works out for you, your dog, and your parents (somehow).
