No, I haven't deleted all my deviations. They've just been repurposed (I don't care if that's not a real word, Firefox) as scraps. I finally logged into Deviantart and reviewed my gallery in earnest and realized that I can't recognize myself in any of the crap I've submitted up to this point. Therapy and medication aside, I do feel like a completely different person from before.

So this is a fresh start. This is the Now, and this is what I am living, breathing, feeling. I need my art to reflect that.

I need to not sound so preachy and pretentious.

"If you no longer want to create pain for yourself and others; if you no longer want to add to the residue of past pain that still lives on in you...realize deeply that the present is all you have."
