One year later...
14 years ago
I wish that I could have this moment for life...
So I've been doing a lot of thinking lately as I mark the one year anniversary since going into the public realm of this fandom with conventions and meets. And all I can say is wow, I'm so blessed to know you all.
Who would've thought that just a little over a year ago I was this modest kid who could blend in with society but never felt in a place where he belonged. But through meeting so many talented people this past year I've discovered that I don't have to be an on looker at other's talents but if I work hard and put my true spirit into all that I do, I can be up there with them. If you would've asked me a year ago, I never would've thought of spending money on a suit or going up on stage in front of thousands to perform. The list is too long to name names, but you all know who you are that pushed me to break free of inner chains and go full force into these challenges and many more!
Another thing I've learned is how to handle friendships. Being the guy that never wanted to stay grounded in his home state and always looking to get away, friendships were only momentary. But I've discovered in this fandom true friends that I actually want to craft a relationship with and it is wonderful knowing that even if I only see them for five seconds in real life or chat online for a few moments, that its like we never parted and we just pick back up where we left off. It is a wonderful thing knowing that there's always someone you know no matter where you move and that they are willing to do for you as much as them.
So this journal is not just a celebration for a wonderful year of friends but for my friends as well..even those I have yet to meet out there in this crazy fandom! I'm not the best on writing these things, but I hope you guys get my point, cause I don't want this to go too long! XD
So here's to many more years on this crazy roller coaster of a fandom and to those that read this, I hope you learn what I learned..never sell your self short in life, embrace being different and have FUN!
Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart, you all are what inspire me to go 100% with fursuiting and so much more in life!
