**Gloomy first submission to SheezyArt is gloomy.

I wasn't okay when I drew this.

DeviantArt has gotten so much worse over the years. The problems started with Llama badges in the late 2000's/early 2010's, then the god awful new submissions page. (It's so bad I got chronic migraines from it) And when they removed the Webcam feature.

Thousands of people have left DA when the people behind it thought it was a great idea to follow the unethical Ai "art" trend. (Newsflash: It wasn't)
Despite the uproar, they won't be removing their Ai features anytime soon. And that's depressing. I made memories there. As well as friends and enemies.

I remember my first fight with my then-friend.
I don't want to lose that memory, even if it doesn't spark joy.
I remember being delighted I managed to get in touch with someone I've been wanting to reach out to for years.
I remember our last convo in PMs, I still regret what I had done.

You either run from your past or learn from it.
That's why I'm here. I'm here to start anew.

I'm here to make friends. Share what advice I can give for the learners and for those who need a nudge in the right direction.
