Nipples!

Got my nipples re-pierced today! My fiance got me the piercings for Valentines because he is amazing. They had been pierced for about a year, but when I had knee surgery they had to be taken out. By the time I left surgery I was on so many pain killers I couldn't feel to get the jewelry back in. I kick myself though because had I gone to the piercer sooner I may not have had to get them re-pierced... ah well, it's what I get for waiting about 3-4 years.
In more art related things I've been studying Loomis and Bridgman. I've also taken up drawing fruit. Bought some fruit just to draw it. I'm afraid to eat it too soon (but oooh it looks d

So. Much. Cringe.

Actually I'm still pretty proud of some of my drawings in here.
Oh the writing though. I get it, it's been about 5 years since I've really been on this account. I've come back, and gone, and come back, got a new name (staple-salad (https://www.deviantart.com/staple-salad))... as the cliche romantic comedy line goes "I just can't quit you!" I have yet to find a better artist community. Yes, I did have some issue with the policy as a confused and troubled 18-19 year old. But does that really matter? Nah. I don't hold any grudges about it. At the end of the day art is a very broad spectrum, and I think as I grow up my regard to definitions changes with each new life state.

Policy in need of a rewrite... badly
0 min read
As I'm sure many of you have noticed browsing DeviantART, this place is a cesspool of people who can't read.
Go to any section and you're likely to find thousands of pictures that violate the policy as it is writ. The general strategy in this case would be to report the violation, and move on, right?
Well, that's where things get tricky. Most of you would not be shocked to find that quite a few of the "blatant" violations have been reported before, sometimes multiple times, and returned invalid by the people in charge of the policy violations.
Some of you may remember this article I wrote several months back: http://news.deviantart.com/a

Hello there beautiful. 
I am here to spread the positive vibes.
Thanks for existing gorgeous.
Why do I care? Because you matter.
You are amazing, loved and worth it. Never forget that. I know, life gets tough, and it's not always easy to be happy, to go through things, but it will get better, it always does. And you will get out stronger. And it's okay to be sad or not okay sometimes, because it happens, just let it all out, you'll feel better after.
Hey, there are people who care about you. You are not a waste of space, air, oxygen or time, you are a fantastic human being and you deserve life, and to be happy, so I hope you smile. Please say kind things to yourself because you don't deserve to feel like crap. You deserve to love yourself. And it's okay if a good part of society 'doesn't like you' , because it doesn't matter. You exist, and there are people who love you, and if you can't think of anyone who cares about you, just know that I do care. We may not know eachother but that never stopped me from caring about anyone. And you can't be loved by everyone anyways, but that's okay. Please don't give up. You are not alone. 
You make this world a better place just by being you, my dear.
It's okay to be fat, too. There's nothing wrong with it, so long as you're healthy.
Please don't put yourself down for this. You are beautiful just the way you are. Please don't hurt yourself because you deserve better than that.
Everyday, tell yourself these things;
I am amazing.
I am beautiful.
I am a fantastic human being.
I deserve to live.
I deserve to be happy.
I am loved.
I am needed.
I am worth it.
I am grateful for the life I have.
Everytime I want to give up, I shall remember that everything will get better in the end.
I am awesome.
And nothing in the world will ever change that.
<3
I have read somewhere that cold showers help to feel more positive.
And as for self-harm...try painting butterflies on your arms instead. Maybe it can help. <3
