I had a deviantART account a long time ago but I don't go on it anymore and I kind of want a fresh start. Hopefully I'll use this occasionally. I won't add much art very often, I think, because I would do digital art, but I still kind of suck at it, and I don't have a scanner anymore for my traditional art.
My name is Melody. I identify as a cis woman, pansexual, feminist, and I support the activism for human rights for poc, queer individuals, trans and non binary individuals, disabled people, and women. I was raised as Christian even though I didn't choose to, and right now I'm an atheist. I'm not the asshole type that tries to prove that anyone's religious believes are false, however. I'm not sure where my religious beliefs are going in the future, as I can't see myself believe in a deity, but I'm not going to keep myself from deciding to eventually be religious.
I used to struggle with being suicidal and committing self harm, and while I've been clean from self harm for a while, every once in a while I'll experience suicidal thoughts again. Overall, however, my emotional and mental health has been restored some.
I've been dating my first and probably only boyfriend for about three years now.
I plan on becoming a makeup artist and hair stylist, and maybe going into fashion design, too. I might do art and writing on the side, and I used to think that being an artist and writer was my dream job, but to be honest, I kind of doubt my ability in it. Makeup, hair, and fashion, however, is something that I'm very passionate about and can never see myself hating a job in that. After I graduate I'm hoping to probably work in Teavana, for retail experience, then Sephora, then MAC.
