My Return.
🕑 Added 2018-07-22 06:50:36 +0000 UTC Hi everyone, its been a minute hasn't it? To be more accurate it's been 4 (almost 5) months, and a lot has happened in that amount of time.First off, before I get into details, I wan't to thank everyone who sent me such encouraging and loving messages. I literally cried reading some of them, that's how deep some were. I didn't get a chance to reply to all of them, but I'm sure I've read all of them. While it was overwhelming on how many messages I received, it was also very heartwarming to know so many people had me in their best wishes while I was away. So for that, I say thank you ♥
Now on to the details. As you know I closed my Patreon, because I decided to join the Military. I left in March to join the Navy, and got into boot camp with no problems. While in training, you go through a bunch of processing, which includes taking live virus pills, and getting a bunch of antivirus shots all at one time. In short, everybody ends up getting sick in boot camp. However, I ended up becoming unfit for duty because of it, and I got sent home. Yeah it sucked to leave so early, and yes, I did feel like a failure :( So that's the bad news.
The good news is, on my discharge papers, I got a code that allows me to go back after 6 months. So when I got back to the civilian world, I applied for a bunch of jobs and landed one as a security agent, at an international airport. I decided I was going to save and use the money from the job to get a personal fitness trainer. Which I did! He was also an retired army veteran, so I knew he would help me get into my prime, and get me fully prepared for my round 2 at joining the Navy. I began training with him 1-2 hours, 5 days a week.
ANNNNDDDD, here comes life's sucker punch *eye roll.* The agency I was working for, decided to take on another airline, and basically made us severely understaffed. This led to a bunch of people quitting, and my hours increasing to the point I didn't have a life outside of work. I would leave at 9:30 in the morning and not get home till almost 1:00 am. So basically there was no time for me to train, ultimately putting a halt on my plans to join the military again. It wasn't my plan, but sometimes you get sucked into other things without realizing it. Anyways, then my job decided they wanted me to work on my off days, and work more hours, yet they didn't want to pay me overtime. Eventually I got tired of the BS, and quit about 2 weeks ago. I used the money I saved to continue training and keep my eyes on my prize. Unfortunately, money runs out, and I did miss making CC, so I was like what the heck, maybe I should try Patreon again. At least this way I can continue to train everyday, and you guys can get new CC! It's a win, win xD
In my absence, I have been learning to use marvelous designer, and I will have some WIPS up very soon! One of the items has 106 swatches, I think I was "texturing deprived," so I went overboard with swatches lmao.
I know this was long as hell (low key vent,) but I was getting a lot of questions asking about what happened, so I just decided to address it here :)

I'm new on your Patreon, but not to your amazing cc. Thank you for that. Not a failure at all. It just wasn't your time. You're doing your 'homework' and will be better for it when you go back in. Looking forward to be able to say, "Thank you for your service!"

Glad that you are back. You are not a failure, being a failure only qualifies if you do not try. I don't know you personally, but you seem like a very driven individual. Whatever happens you will be content due to that.

Life throws curve balls all of the time but keep your head up and continue pursuing your dream. But we are so thankful to have you back though!!

Girl you aren't a failure, never think that. You did your best and that's all you can do. Keep training, keep your eyes on the prize.
I'm sooo glad you're back. Ever since I saw you pop up on tumblr, I've been stalking patreon to see if you return on here. My husband was in the marines and had a reaction or something happened with the pills and the shots. He was able to stay in, he just couldn't go overseas. I guess they changed that now. I hope things get better for you.

Thank you such much mermaids!!! While it was a set back and a smack in the face, I am definitely not giving up, especially with all this encouragement!!! I ended up becoming even more motivated to join the Navy again, after all the BS with the job lol. Also I'm glad you guys are excited for the new stuff, I will have the WIPS up in a few days :) I really love how everything is coming out, I wish I used Marvelous designer sooner xD

Hey you! It's great hearing from you! I'm sorry that you've had challenges in your quest to join the military, but I am glad to hear that you are not giving up! Keep your eyes on the prize girl and you will get what you are seeking. As far as the cc, I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us as I have missed your great creations!

Omg, so stoked. Kinda got bored with sims, maybe your new stuff can make me wanna pick it up again. Also: stay strong. You can and will achieve your goals. So what if you do it a bit later than planned? We are proud of you either way. And I am really happy to have you back.

I'm SO FREAKING GLAD YOU'RE BACK BABE!!! It hasn't been the same without you. As for the Navy, quitting the job and just going through it, you're hella tough and life doesn't give you more than you can handle. Just know we're here for you and its DEFINITELY OKAY to vent to us! You put SO MUCH time, energy and effort into the content you create.
