Merry Christmas

Journal Entry: Mon Dec 24, 2012, 11:55 PM


Merry Christmas everyone, as I haven't posted a journal in ages, today felt like a good day. I hope you're having meaningful holidays, whatever you're celebrating.

For myself, I'm very very tired and being here is a bit of a struggle. I'm moving to the UK in mid-january – yes, moving, having no future here as an artist, and the sudden uprooting is exhausting me even more. Happily I have a good network of supportive friends over there, but I'm looking for a room around London where I can have some peace and focus on my art.

But first, finish one last calligraphy commission, sort out my flat for the people who'll be housesitting it until I can let it go, put up the last 3 pages of Malaak, ... the more you do the longer the list gets, somehow!

Well, enjoy the holidays, I have made new recipes I'll start posting tomorrow, at least.

I'm so out of it. I was wondering what was going on with you-- so I checked out your old journal posts. And I read this. D'oh!

Well, I hope the move has gone well. How are you holding up?

The first month was rough, but I'm quite happy to be here now :) Still in a cramped room that makes working a little hard, but things are opening up and everybody's lovely.

Wow, sounds like there have been a massive amount of changes in your life lately...I hope you had a Christmas that was joyful and able to energise you.

Good luck with your move to the UK! You always write in your journals about the fun you have while visiting London, so I hope the permanent move will result in much much more. And productivity is always a good thing, too :D

Oh yes, that list never stops growing, does it.... :hug:

My holidays weren't so great but I'm coming back to life now :hug:
I think I'll be thrilled to be in London once I have my feet on the ground!

Oh yeah, you'd need to get your bearings first...then things can really take hold and gather momentum. It'll all be good in the end :D

Those lists have a way of growing, don't they? *hugs* New beginnings and uprooting are always so hard. I think the older we get the harder it is to start fresh somewhere else. With all that said... the biggest of hugs and good energy sent your way. May this be a year of happiness, health and success. Maybe the move to London is just the thing? <3

Oooh, good luck with your move! I loved London when I was there years ago, and there seems to be such a vibrant comics and art culture there, so I'm sure you'll fit right in. =) Such things are always so daunting and intimidating, though, I can't imagine what you're going through right now... but all the best! :hug:

Thanks hun, I do love London, once the difficult part of having to start from scratch is passed I'm sure I'll be very happy there!

:hug: May London bring the opportunities you hope for. I'm sure you're well-equipped to be happy there and anywhere your life will bring you to. Meanwhile, have a warm end of the year :) (and thanks for the recipes! I plan to make simit later today.)
