I have a little something to get off my chest. It might clear up a puzzle for some of the artists who frequent my page. I would really appreciate it if you would bear with me as I explain a few things. =)

When I first joined Deviant Art, I was totally new to the concept of having an online account. I didn't feel safe at all. I worried about hackers, people getting my personal information, and my family discovering my page. To try and prevent any of those things from happening, I took many precautions.

You may be wondering why it would be a bad thing if my family knew about my account. Well, when I first got my account, my parents probably would have set many rules and maybe even monitored my activity. I didn't want my parents involved in any way. This was my first step into the world on my own.

That was a year ago and many things have changed since then. If they found out, now, I don't think it would present many (if any) problems. I'm an adult. I'm free. It's a relief not to have to worry all the time!

One of the precautions I took to protect my privacy was not using my actual last name. I figured that my family wouldn't be able to find me with an internet search engine, that way. Thankfully, that risky time is passed and I can now be honest with you guys!

My last name is really Young! It's very liberating to be able to display it proudly on my page.

Thanks for reading! :heart:
