I actually first joined this site on the month of October in the year 2010. My first account has not been deactivated, but I used it, for the most part, for a good year and a half. An ex-friend of mine showed me this site, and I joined. I often forgot about the account in the beginning, but once I remembered I'd post every day after I got home from school. I didn't know the forums existed, and it didn't really know there was a community.
Around March of 2012, I started a new account telestlees, which as you can see is deactivated. I deactivated it because I wanted to start fresh, so in July of 2012 I created this account—my username was originally slowslicksnails.
Since then, I have received two DD features, five or so DLD features, and many features by fellow dA users and friends. So many of you have inspired me over the years: chromeantennae, introverted-ghost, UnspecifiedUnknown, anobrain, consolecadet, Anthony-Ryan, ambulances, ghostinafog, fake-theory, Is-lnds, brain-tree, KaitForest, v-espertine, rigor-samsa, sspeak, insomniaplague, ssleep, fervvent, palaeochannel6, intricately-ordinary, glossolalias, emilygolightly, and so many more.
Some me pieces that have recently inspired me are:
I used to really try hard for the community because I wanted to be someone people could look up to, but after I became mostly inactive on this site, I feel like I lost whatever reputation I had. I'd still like to help out in the community, but often times I feel like I'm not wanted to do so since there are others who have filled in my place.

is this thing on?
i pretty much abandoned this place for years. there’s been a lot i have found out in the meantime. the granular details don’t exactly matter. in the past couple years, however, i managed to get 17 books published (3 of which are forthcoming; all are poetry except for 1; only a handful of titles are selfpub’d). i have 3-4 manuscripts on the backburner or already started so i haven’t really stopped writing. if you’re interested to know more about these writings or myself, especially in these past few years, feel free to comment or send me a note or however it works these days

this past month has been incredibly busy. I moved to New York mid-month, I've been looking for jobs (no luck so far), and I finally have WiFi as of yesterday.
I ran out of my data weeks ago, so it's been tricky logging onto anything. I saw that I received a DD feature on "primitive.voyeur" & I was so surprised. you never really expect a DD feature, and thank you so much JessaMar (https://www.deviantart.com/jessamar) for featuring it.
New York has been great though. ofc it's an adjustment, but i'm learning to make the most out of a small space and public transit and walking daily and refiguring grocery shopping. learning that shipping sucks. my apartment doesn't have an ele
something new
July has been my month, and it’s awesome.
My boyfriend of five years proposed to me on the 15th. Also, I was accepted into the two graduate programs I applied to—Emerson College and NYU for Publishing.
I loved both schools equally, so it was a tough choice. I ended up choosing NYU.
That’s why I’ve been a little absent lately. I’m figuring out a lot of life things and working lots of retail.

You are one of my biggest inspirations here. Truth. I know you said that you don't feel as though you still have the same reputation that you did, but I beg to differ; do whatever you feel comfortable with doing and leave out what you don't, but please don't assume that people don't still have the same respect and love for you that they did. We all understand that life gets busy, and we all understand that confidence is a fickle thing. And it doesn't make us love you any less.
