"Come on, dance with me?" Dancing? This was nothing like the rigid, practiced movements he associated with the idea of dancing. Toph's movements weren't stiff or formal or even especially graceful-- if she were anyone else, he'd say she just looked silly. This is ridiculous. For a moment, Zuko was tempted to let go of her hands and storm off. He hadn't even wanted to go out tonight, and now Toph was clearly trying to make a fool out of him. But there was a smile on her face, and the light of the lanterns revealed a shine in her eyes he couldn't remember seeing before. "Fine," he groaned, allowing himself to be pulled along into one of these… dances.

This is going to be my first personal blog post ever. Don’t worry, it will be short. Haha. But I’ve decided it might be a good outlet for me to write about some recent experiences I’ve had!

Last year I started drawing a lot of stuff like this:

I had a lot of fun drawing the Gaang with their babies because my husband and I had decided to try and have a baby of our own! I got pregnant in September but ended up having a miscarriage at 10 weeks. I know some of you reading this understand how difficult and isolating it is to experience a miscarriage. This has definitely been one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. I fell into a major depression and also avoided looking at my art or even wanting to draw or be creative at all.

Lately though, thanks to great friends and my awesome husband, I feel like I’ve finally come up for air. Now, when I look back at these drawings I feel some hope for the future when it comes to having a kid of my own. I’m really thankful for the outlet I have with art and drawing!!

Thanks for reading. That’s all. :)

UPDATE!

I’m really happy to be reblogging this post about my miscarriage to share that I gave birth to my first baby boy this past December! We are all happy, healthy, and grateful.

The loss I feel from my first miscarriage will always be a part of me, but many new and good things have grown around it now too.

This drawing of Toph and baby Lin is modeled after a photo of me and my son. ♥️
