I finally seem to be on an antidepressant that works, so that's pretty cool. We just upped the dosage a few days ago, and so far it's been that much more effective. I'm able to get a lot more clarity about what's going on in my head; rather than lifting my mood per se, it's instead making things quieter so that I can just relax more. It's easy for me to get lost in thought in a bad way, and this has helped with that a lot.

In other news, I got my newest tattoo finished last week as well. Here is a brief "fly-by" of it on my artist's instagram. The background music is a little loud on my default volume (and instagram doesn't seem to offer a volume control), although most other things in Firefox are too. It's the biggest and most visible one I have, and I'm super happy with how it turned out.

Not much else going on right now. I'm trying not to go crackers now that I feel like I can "do" more, and to let things happen more organically. Time management is a big problem for me: I tend to take on too much too quickly, but then lose interest equally fast. I think there's a fight in my head between the logical side and the emotional side, and I've been working on finding more of a balance between the two.

Shower thought for the day: a passion is something that becomes more interesting the more I understand it, not less.

That is a GREAT tattoo. If I move to Richmond, I’d totally hit up that artist. It looks great, great content (in terms of what the tattoo is) as well, and thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I'm definitely happy with it.

I remember that there was someone on here talking about moving to Richmond, but that was awhile ago. Was that you? Is that still on the horizon?

That was me!

Currently, I am either moving to Richmond or to TX. I applied for a job that would pay to move me to TX. It’s kind of funny how much can change with a single action. I won’t know about the TX job for probably a month so til then, my future is in limbo! :)

Gotcha. Well, it'd be cool to have another hubskier in the RVA, but you gotta do what makes the most sense for you!

Damn, that's a gorgeous tattoo. The linework, coloring, and shading are all solid. Looks awesome, man :)

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I definitely recommend perusing the artist's instagram, as there's a lot of great stuff in there.
