After the intro, I just now thought it would be cool to post my Meet the Artist (I'm more than just an artist though so ✨meet me✨)

I actually wanted to put alt outfits like I did last year but I ran out of space and I didn't want it to be too cluttered.

~~~

Some info I wasn't able to put on there:

📖 Top books/chapters/verses:
The Gospel John, The Book of Romans, The Book of Enoch, Colossians 2-3, Hebrews 12, Psalm 23, Proverbs 3, Isaiah 60:1

🍯 Treats:
Granola bars, dark chocolate, mocha, hot chocolate, decaf coffee (must be sweet), banana smoothies, pineapple parfait, lemonade (optional strawberry), mango sweet tea

🌼 Smells:
Vanilla, pumpkin spice, musky rich smells

📺 Anime:
All of Haikyuu, Welcome to the Ballroom, Aoashi, Backflip

🩷 Likes:
Cute things, cottagecore, vintage, Together is Better (webtoon)

❌ Dislikes:
Sickness, disorders, illnesses, sin

~~~~

Some of my previous Meet the Artist have things on there that I don't associate with or identify as anymore like:
❌ Scooby Doo, snails house, sanrio, bungou stray dogs, howls moving castle, mob psycho, splatoon, Zelda, Doritos, coryxkenshin, genderfluid, trans, nonbinary, panromantic, demisexual, hybrids, lycans, Myers Briggs personality tests, zodiac/horoscope

Old Meet the Artist drawings for the sake of showing improvements and growth in my life.

These are more very old persona refs but I think they still count. Meet the Artist wasn't a term/challenge I knew back then, lol
