I can really see your feet planted firmly under you now. Before you were flailing in a turbulent sea. But I worry about you reading through all those old posts just yet. I'm afraid that your torment will grab you and pull you down again. I just don't think you are far enough from the maelstrom yet.
I love the idea of putting your emotions into your art. That will be very good for you, and I'm sure you'll produce some very interesting images. I have been thinking that as verbal as you are, you would probably be a very good English teacher too. I bet you'd be great at creative writing.
