Happy New Year, from the bottom of my heart

Alright… Where can I start?

I like writing these "end of the year" journals because it helps me see more clearly what I have gone through these past 12 months. You know, narrating what happened to us helps us remember who we are and reinforces the foundations for our present and our future.
And this year has been quite an important one for me. I found new interests, I took the plunge and dyed my hair with red and blonde, I went to Uruguay and to Brazil with friends, I went to four concerts, I graduated, I enrolled in university, I won a scholarship to study in Cambridge… Everything has been crazy and I still can't believe it all really happened. As a result, I'm not the same person I was, of course, and that obviously showed in my art work.
Unfortunately, with all these previous things happening, I didn't have much time to dedicate to my art, and then my page. I've set as one of my goals for next year to do something everyday, even if it's awful, to practice, and excel in what I love doing, and be able to see a much more accurate progress of myself as an artist. Let's hope I can achieve it!
More importantly, as always, I wanted to thank all of you who support me with favs and comments. I simply love hearing what you think of my deviantions, whether it's feedback or just how hot the guy in the wallpaper is! :lol: Genuinely, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's wonderful to find people that are interested in the art work that joins every single aspect of my life- feelings, thoughts, beliefs, memories, experiences… I somehow feel understood.
So, 2013… So many 'adventures' and things to come! First, trip to the UK in January. God, I'm just literally two weeks away. 15 DAYS. I can't wait to see Cambridge, London, Brighton, Bath, Edinburgh, Paris… Is any of you in any of those places? I'm keeping my fingers crosses and hoping there is a DeviantART meet while I'm there. Or are they only in Summer? 
I'm really looking forward to much more crazy experiences that add colors, maybe dark and gloomy as well as vibrant and bright, to enrich my ability of creativity… I've always believed creativity is not a gift you're born with, but a skill you learn to develop. Steve Jobs used to say it is "just connecting things", so having these kind of experiences like a trip to other countries and the opportunity to live another culture adds more elements you can play with, broadening the horizons of possibility of creation.
And then University in March! How many of you are Graphic Designers? I'll –hopefully- become one! I have to say I'm a bit scared about it… I've always been to the same private school ever since kindergarden, and now going to the national university, where I now very few people (almost none in the course I'll do), is quite unsettling. However I try to look at it from the positive point of view: I'll meet people that want to do the same as me, or with similar interests or goals in life…
Am I the only one that feels graduating from school is like jumping off of a skyscraper? Haha I mean, right now I feel as if I was floating, as if everything was surreal. And the next thing is either falling and hitting myself pretty badly or magically using what I've learned throughout my life to make a pair of wings and fly higher! Jesus I sound like I'm on drugs D:
Anyway... It may seem a little disconnected with what I've been writing about so far but it's an important (and quite traumatic) topic for me: Always be yourself. It's funny, now that I wrote this, thinking about all the things I have lived, I realized I have found who I truly am. Yes, at 17, I found who I am, who I'm comfortable being. Listen to your heart, put it in everything you do, don't forget your past but don't let it blind your present and future, and always push forward. I assure you, it will get you where you want to be. I've proven it myself.

I hope you all have a great 2013, better than this apparently apocalyptic 2012. Thank you all for being there,

Rage, Love and my all, :heart:
