Merry Christmas, New Years' and a heartfelt thank you!
4 years ago
Hi all!
Sorry for the long silence! As I had mentioned previously this has been somewhat of a recharge period for me for the new year. However, sitting at the precipice of the new festivities I wanted to be a sentimental behemoth and put some thoughts to paper that I wanted to share across a few servers.
The past two years have been a crazy adventure for me. Through both dark and light times, I have had the opportunity to create things I have always wanted to and to grow in ways I had never expected to. I have had to make easy and difficult choices in my life that have really put a lot of things into perspective for me, and especially on my own future. It sounds odd when I write it, but I stick to my words when I say that the fandom has left me changed, and for the better, I think.
That sort of change, however, could never have happened without the people I have met, those that I have interacted with frequently, those who supported me from the sides, and even the few that have scorned me. Each and every one of those moments has resulted in me finding a new joy in my life; a new way to put into perspective the potential of the future and the drive to carry on through good and hard times.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for those opportunities, for every ripple - small, to major, has helped shape my mindset for the future and that is a gift that is on par with a divine blessing.
In the coming days, may the Christmas and New Years' celebrations lead you and your families to greater joys and adventures. See the beauty and potential of the world and yourself, and how even every small action can change the life of someone in this world. Aeons know, so many of you have given me the ability to be proud of what I made. To be proud of who I am. You changed my life.
So again, thank you for being who you are. Thank you for existing in this world. Thank you for being beautiful.
