TRANSITUS

As promised, here's a much needed update to the world of Deviants and Arts... Deviantart...

In an environment as fast paced as what I live in, there's little time to stop and take a breath. Every moment is valuable and must be utilized to keep pushing forward and onward to reaching that horizon, and beyond. Ever withering is the free time we all have in this crew, but no one complains because it's replaced by incredible memories and something that not many have- a life of adventure. True adventure that brings us to many crossroads and turning points, key moments and events, tragedies and triumphs- all of which we share together, all of which bring us closer together than any friendship or family could ever be in any possible sense of such an instance. We have recently faced the passing of a dear friend, losses of irreplaceable value, and struggles within as well as externally. On the other hand, we're booked quite solid, successfully released our first novel (which I'll link to for purchase), married two of my best friends who are also crew members, and found a new base of operations. We will be moving at the end of this month into our new shop located just North of Dallas, and it's been a long time coming. Nothing has been more crucial than getting more space not just for our shop and work areas, but personal space as well. It's not easy operating in a small shack that you not only work in but eat, shower, and sleep in too but we've managed to do this complaint free and successfully for well over a year and a half. That time is now coming to pass, and we're beyond grateful. Though we made the best of what we had and still do, it's been a hindrance in many ways than I can count. No space can cause alot of issues with progression as we have no room for storage, large projects or the machinery required to create said projects, or just plain long term sanity. The new location has a separate garage that we are converting into a full workshop, and a very big house with plenty of separate areas for relaxation, and more office oriented work.

That all aside we are watching the community grow, and of course this has it's own transitional growing pains. We've seen flame wars and verbal feces thrown, but the fires were quickly put out and the feces.... well I wont go there. Anyways, needless to say, all of this means that we are definitely experiencing growth. Aside from feces and on a lighter note, it's been observed that people are coming out of their shell and taking a note. They're going out of their way to help others in not only projects and such but in personal means, lending a shoulder and support to each other. Everybody has a bad day, some people have worse than just a bad day, and even then, some can be self destructive. The things I've seen this community do far exceed what I've seen society as a whole even take a glance at attempting- full cohesion and togetherness. Finally the majority, not just a select few, have taken the example presented and turned it into action. THANK YOU. Thank you for finally getting it. It's like watching a seed sprout into a forest... even that hardly does the feeling of what it's like to see this from our perspective a justice of explanation but that's the best I could muster. Whereas other groups/communities/social circles/etc. have this and that and so on so forth, nobody communicates hardly or so much as even bothers to help each other. They feel if it's not their problem, it's not a problem at all. I call bull, and this community has shown otherwise. They've shown it's in fact possible to CARE about other people. *steps off soap box*

I'm excited. I'm relieved. I'm about to explode into a ball of sprinkles. If I ever become content and "settled", that means something is wrong, and we're not going anywhere, not making progress and not moving. I don't want that, I don't want to get used to it because that means everything has become normal and expected and the same. I don't want that, I want the unexpected and exciting! As it's always been since I've started my journey, it's only ever picked up momentum and steam, and I've gladly held on for dear life... I think I could get used to this... Wait a second

:-P
