Hi, New-ish here

I've been here before briefly, but it's been so long my life is completely different now. So hi again!

I'm honestly just looking for more connection in my life. Just a place to talk sometimes where others are actually listening and may even respond. I am married and have a wonderful person, but one person (and 2 very young children) can't be your entire social world, and I haven't had much luck building friendships.

I still suffer from some issues, and it would be nice to have space to talk about those issues when things crop up. Or even just sharing positive things. Just some human interaction honestly...

@artful5457 Hi. Welcome back.


That need for connection beyond the walls of home. I feel that deeply.
One person, even a wonderful one, can't carry it all.
And building friendships as an adult?
It's tough. Really tough. But you're here, reaching out, and that takes courage.

This is a good space for exactly what you're looking for a place to share the hard stuff and the bright spots too. You're not alone here. And you're always welcome to talk.

Lots of Love from Leo.

Hello, you've chosen a great community to be part of. And I love your pfp! Are you more into digital art? 

Positivity is a hard thing to find alone, and choosing to find it somewhere (in that case, here) is a massive step forward. I hope you enjoy your time here and you are able to go through any problems you are facing at the moment.

@GoodMellow Thanks so much, and yes I'm primarily a digital artist (though I'm getting a bit more into traditional again lately).

This was the full drawing

@GoodMellow

I really like the line art, and the colors. Do you use an Ipad to draw? Or are you using a software like Photoshop?
