Update:
Account is dead as of today.

I meant to make this journal a couple of days ago but College got in the way, among other things.

To the point, I have been considering for the last couple of days and I've finally come to a decision.

In Mid-February I am leaving Deviantart. This is NOT a Joke.
I'm not leaving because of particular drama or anything of the such.

I'm leaving because of College as I said in a previous journal that it might effect my activity a little... Well I've been in college for one semester now...
and it got me to thinking.

I created this account back in Highschool... Sophomore Year I believe. Deviantart has given me many experiences I'll remember forever, good and bad. I will say I've had a very good time here overall... But have I let this online socialism go to my head?

As I went into college, I began to notice how much time I was actually spending on Deviantart and the internet altogether. Too Much. I realize now I've let Devaintart take over my life, and I cannot let this happen anymore.

Now that I'm in college, I'm improving as an artist and still learning. I've made many friends and I've become to like myself more as a person and have become more adventurous because of it. I want to explore the real world more than I want to explore online. I want to learn more about it. I want to become a better artist, I deeply and honestly do.

I’ve been truly thankful for some of the people I’ve met on here. I’ve made some good friends, and even those who didn’t work out so well. I wish nothing for the best for you. I hope you fulfill whatever it is you want to do.

I plan to return to Deviantart one day. When, I’m not entirely sure. A day very far from now, I will return.

Until that time in February, I’ll be spending a little time on DA. Cleaning up things and such. So if you want to say “good-bye”, talk, or anything. I’ll be here for a while.


Thank you Deviantart for helping me through High School. But now it’s time for me to go.
