I died a little inside today.
I just rebuilt my computer to be, well, better. It is better. I am super happy!
BUT!..........
My harddrive had to be wiped out to install the better hardware. Understandable.
So I backed up every file on my external hard drive.
Or so I thought.
Turns out, it didn't actually back up anything but my old drivers. Somehow everything else disappeared from previous back ups and thus, my entire art gallery and history is gone.
Every photo, poem, story and piece or art (even my entire portfolio and school history) Is completely gone.
Needless to say I am heartbroken and in complete disarray. I am not really sure what to do right now besides, honestly, have a mental breakdown and mourn my loss.. And unfortunately I really have nothing uploaded online at all, especially from years ago.

I have to start my art-life over from scratch now.  

Until I get over the initial shock and despair, it is going to be an incredibly painful and long road ahead to recreate an entire portfolio as well as recreate myself as an artist.


NONE
Because what I had initially ready to upload is now gone.
