hi everybody.
it's been awhile, huh?

i'm so sorry for leaving you all behind, i didn't realize how selfish of me that was.
I just haven't felt the urge to write or design for a couple of months. it's not that I don love it anymore, I think I just needed some time.
in these months, I've been finding different ways to express myself such a watercolour painting:

and starting a bookstagram account, which is something I've wanted for so long

so back to me. I think it's time that I properly introduce myself. Bree is not my name (but I love it) and you're still more than welcome to call me Bree! my real name is Shelby, and if you're wondering why the fake name, I started this account when I was young and still new to the internet and my parents were new to the idea of me having internet so I came up with that name. But since I'm no longer young and literally to this day, officially seventeen, I can be more open about who I am.
I currently just started my summer break and next year is a very scary year for me because I am graduating. I am beyond terrified.

things are different now. but i can't let you guys go. so even though I'm not going to be writing or designing, I'm still going to be on here, talking to you guys and finding my place here again :)

I can't thank you guys enough for being so supportive through my absence and I can't apologize enough. you guys don't need to forget me, I've been a terrible friend, author and designer so you have every right to be mad at me.
but I also know that this time has been very productive for me and I'm really really happy.

I love you guys and feel free to message me here or on Instagram!!
