I've been inspired by a lot of the kindness I've seen as of late around here.
I've never really felt like I fit in in anywhere, most of my life. Even with friends I've always been an outsider, sharing many different interests than they. This place is the closest I've ever really been a part of a place. Most everyone has been accepting, welcoming and kind to me, even when I've had horrible emo days. I really try to hide those, because I try to not put my personal business out there when I can.
I'm flattered by the responses I get from my characters and my art. I've always been so self-conscious when it came to my art; some days I see such amazing art and I'll erase mine before i even finish. But the compliments I get here really have filled my heart and pushed me to keep going and practice.
I will admit that some days, the drama and hate that comes forth from this place upsets me, makes me angry. Perhaps we're not perfect, but I"d love more than anything for us all to be peaceable, and it hurts my heart to see some of the things said here. We're all from different countries, backgrounds, different ages.. we're one of the best mixing pots out there, and we should all be proud of ourselves in this wonderful community we're in. No community is perfect, but we can eliminate the tension and hate quite easily.
I met my best friend here and some of my closest friends, and I'm meeting new, wonderful people every day. I'm grateful I stumbled upon this humble screensaver one day while looking for animal games to play online.

This is mostly gibberish, and I'll probably delete it later, but.. yeah. Just felt the need to pour this out.
