Boy did this need an update!

2 min read
So I don't know what happend since my last update so I'm just gonna guess everything has. 

So fresh slate...

I'm Craftswitch, A artist/actor living in Edinburgh Scotland. I am a massive geek and I started going into pop art. People tell me I'm pretty good so I'm thinking of going into commisions with them. I'm 25 year old and unemployed. I have an unnatural obsession with the spotted hyena and spooky stuff. I'm also transgender so some of my work reflects this.

So anyway Life is going ok. I moved to Edinburgh for a new life and its all working out right now. All I need next is a home and a job and I'm set.

I'm not sure Who will even read these things but may as well ask. Do you think I can start doing pop art commisions? I feel confident enough. I was thinking of making people into pop arts and putting them onto a canvas. Seems like a good Idea to me. If I branch out to pets and stuff I think people will hire me. 

I have also properly started cosplay which is great. A lot of people seem to like my Harley.

Of yeah, I failed college but you win some and you lose some so oh well.

So here is an update on my life,
With collage done i have a lot more free time on my hands which has meant an increased artflow from me which is good. At the minute with out the collage though having no money is kinda a downer and I dont think im popular enough to do commissions . Im still at the same stage as far as HRT goes so that sucks, i may get to start it some point in July if im lucky.
Yesterday i had my 24th birthday party though it wasnt so much a party as only 4 people turned up -.- (a marked improvement from last years 2). I invited 30 and spent the last of my money on stuff to make a party awesome and no one shows...
I think i need to re evaluate my friends as my faith in humanity is once again fading. 
I went to Pride last week in Edinburgh and it was fantastic up until the point i got sexually harassed on the train home, I honestly think that if i didnt freak out and get of at the wrong stop to get away from him he may have tried to rape me as he was really going for me. A lotta guys see me as a walking fetish because im trans :(
Im getting to the stage where im feeling really alone again so i feel im gonna need to find me a like minded girl to share my time with, as time is something i got a lot of at this stage.

Sorry for this blurb of crap, i felt i needed to vent it somewhere and here was as good a place as any.

Well i'm doing a lot better now my practical exams out the way and i can do more other stuff that isn't acting again, I think it did well. I am feeling overly better as you can see i have just released a wave of new art and i have noticed an improvement in quality since my last batch. 

It turns out i'm a lot further long in my transition than i thought and it may only be 1 more appointment before i start on hormones then theirs a dickens lotta pain even after i have had my operation to look forward too lol
but anyway i'm doing good.

and some final words of wisdom. "if the world didnt suck we would all fall off"- Aqua
"if we at least try the worse we can do is fail" -me XD

Back in the wrong direction.

Well im am posting this just after i did something i promised to myself and friends that i would never do, my depression got the better of me and i gave in in a moment of weakness and cut myself after being clean for like 9 months. i was doing so well.
Bit it all gets to you, no money, lots of collage pressure with remembering lines and quotes and essay structures and deadlines. not being in the body i want and never wanting to upset anyone which happens, being a constant disappointment to my mother and family and that constant niggling in the back of my head telling me ill never make it. 
It all just gets to me, and i was doing so well, but you know what i enjoyed it, it felt like i was doing something right because im fucked up enough to feel like i deserve it.
I feel im ugly, and fat and not passable as a girl and everyone stares and look at me like im a rapist, ore a pedophile, it feels horrible, i hate even going to the shop. I dunno what to do. I have tried the doctor but he wont help me, and i have tried a few, since there not trained to deal with Trans girls they dont try to help they just hope that if i survive long enough to see a trans doctor with the uber long waiting lists in the uk (i been waiting 2 years to get into the treatment and im still waiting). the last advice i got after i showed them i cut all up and down my legs was "get a job" but its pretty hard when no one will employ you because your trans. I dunno what to do with my life, i feel like im failing my course and im on the verge of losing my home on top of the other stuff stated.

Oh well shit happens i guess, i must deserve it for something.

Sorry for venting and that's it over for now, im just so disappointed in myself for becoming the girl i was (and had forgotten) two years ago, a girl i never wanna be.

So expect dark sad art if any coz those are the thoughts that dominate my mind right now. 

For people who know me not as well as other i try to act strong and tough so i dont ampere weak, but the truth is out now.

sorry for the Vent, i jut dunno who to talk to.
