TL;DR: I've been in the Navy for 3 years and am finally getting help with my mental health issues. Writing and Drawing to help sort out my emotional state.
          	
          	Hey guys. Long time no talk...
          	I'm in the Navy. I joined back in 2021.
          	My last update mentions a Boyfriend... yeah, I wasn't happy, he was emotionally manipulative and abusive directly following rape from the guy I was with before him.
          	I got a job working with walmart at the end of 2020 and started in January of 2021, joined the Navy in September of 2021 and got to my first command (I live in Japan now!!) November of 2022. It's now 2024, I'm fine with being Single (have been since 2021), and I struggle with some mental health issues from past Trauma.
          	I had stopped writing for the past 3 years, occasionally working on my D&D Story that I started a long time ago.
          	I've been doing live streams with my PS5 I won in a ship Talent show and have kept drawing.
          	Right now I do art as part of my therapy as my therapist noticed that I have my normal self who can process emotions and my protector self who doesn't do to well with emotions. I am a very emotional person.
          	I miss my cats back home (there was 4 until my baby boy Raspy died February 2024. Now its just Old Girl Esmeralda, Big boi Jeeves, and ADHD BIG Boy Levi).
          	
          	I'm sorry to everyone that have been waiting on updates on my stories, there has been some MAJOR writers block along with the lack of time to keep my creativity. My job is 24/7 up till a month ago when I went on Stay behind while my ship went on deployment, as I need to improve my mental health and the ship doesn't have the appropriate facilities for me to regularly see a therapist and psychologist.
          	
          	I'm still going to write the little D&D "Retirement" story, but I'm going to remove my Ex's character and make a new character to fill the role of the second lead (gotta have another person for a Wedding, am I right?)
          	
          	Anyway. I've had this go on a little longer than intended.
          	
          	Much love,
          	Samantha Okumura

Ok... Hi guys... COVID has not been nice... And I'm pretty sure we all understand.
          
          Just a little info, I'm 23, female, pansexual, and in a very happy relationship with my current bf who I met through D&D.
          
          I haven't had any time really to continue writing or drawing. I no longer work in a hospital, but I think I mentioned that in a previous update. Right now I work for Wal-Mart in a Distribution center, 5am to whenever (11:30-15:30) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
          
          I'm really trying to keep writing but I have block on everything due to just being tired most of the time.
          
          I am happy with myself though, I'm in a 3 month program (paid for it) to help myself lose weight because everything else just wasn't working. I never was really "fat" by all means, but 5'1" and 165lbs isn't what the military wants. They want 140 max.
          I am actually eating more food rn and have dropped almost 5 lbs in the past month. I eat a lot of protein (Fage 0% fat Greek yogurt does wonders, girls).
          
          I might not be dropping pounds really fast, but I used to have some serious love handles on my back and they're almost gone now.
          
          Back to stories and everything... I'm rewatching Supernatural, currently on Season 8-9, and have an idea I'm working with for my D&D story.

Buck and Elwing comic (spoiler?)
            The two are finally going to get married, but wedding planning is HARD WORK and super stressing.
            A month before the wedding is supposed to happen, Elwing can't handle the stress anymore, can't do the whole wedding and queen stuff at the same time, so she goes back to what she used to do for 100+ years. She goes on a "week long" hunting trip with her Service Wolf, Senku. Before the first day is even up, she falls through a wormhole into season 8 of SPN, her Wolf being left behind to panic the wedding party.
            She arrives in SPN 1 month before Dean returns from Purgatory, and it is 3 months of hiding out in the Black Hills of South Dakota, avoiding hunters, before she is encountered by Sam and Dean Winchester (I mean, SOMETHING is killing Elk and Deer out of season and Wildlife rangers are sus)
            They realize she don't belong in their world after she keeps talking about a big wedding, her being queen and other factors (like she towers over Sam and has pointy ears).
            Dean is the one to figure out shes from Dungeons and Dragons and they work together to help her get back (she's surprisingly a very good Hunter despite her refusal to use guns).
            
            Enough of a "spoiler", I'm gone for now

Wow... I haven't been on here in forever... But... A mini update.
          I stopped writing for a long time but I started playing Dungeons and Dragons and drawing a lot more.
          I actually am working on a new set of stories about my Boyfriend's DND character, Buck Wilder (a Fire Genasi), and my own favorite DND character, Elwing Elvendar (a High Elf)
          
          I have a few drawings of her and him that I might add to my artbook here, but other than that, I dont know 100% what I will do with the main story (a comic) or even the side stories... One about how Elwing met her most Loyal companion, Senku the Wolf, one about Elwing's childhood (Royal family buisness), and either one about her first true love or about how she got all her scars.
          
          Anywho... That's enough rambling now. If you wanna follow my YouTube where I have started uploading speedpaints here is a link:

Hey, sorry I haven't been very active, and when I am active like a bunch of chapters get posted, sorry.
          
          Little update:
          I have two cats.
          My brother got married and they've adopted a dog (pit bull if you're curious).
          I have obtained my EMT license and am trying to get jobs in the area.
          I'm 20 y/o (makes it hard to get jobs when insurance for most places says you gotta be 21 or older to work there).
          I've spent two years in college, and due to the fact that I have insufficient credit hours (need 60 credit hrs for Associates degree, have 55), I'm going back just so I can get my degree and not some certificate that says I was "proficient" in the EMT course while I have a NREMT certification and a state license that basically say I can do what I was taught.
          Volunteering for the Fire department, had to get fire training for that (did that last week, November 5-17, 2018).
          Signed up to Volunteer for the VA
          
          It's been slow. Haven't been able to play undertale recently, have had a BUNCH of writers block, plus I've been just super busy. I've been exhausted lately, depressed, and, for the most, lacking motivation.
