Happy New Years! I hope 2013 treats you better, just have to be a little positive about it. I know what you mean though, its hard when you deal with so much disappointment at once. I have a feeling this will be a hard year for me (a LOT of change in good and bad ways), but even then I'm looking forward to the good parts! For example I really want to make it to a fur con this year sometime!

I hope it will. I hope you have a happy one as well.

I hope you're able to make it to a con this year, I'm hoping to make it back to Midwest FurFest this year if you are able to make MFF this year I would love to hang out some time!

Aww, thanks. I thought about going to MFF this past year but I didn't know anyone yet or even have the time off. That's one of the ones I'm thinking about for this year though, that and/or FWA. FWA is a lot closer to home for me. Either way it would be awesome to meet up and hang out!

Your down cause your losing sight of your blessings....When you start to see the things you have instead of focusing on the things you want.....Life will be easier and happier....Was great to meet you in 2012 lets see what 2013 brings to our friendship. xxxx ooo

You're right Race, I should count the blessings I already have in my life. I am happy that we've become friends and hope that we can meet up again in 2013. Again thank you Race!

*big hugs*

Completely agree with RaceHorse above.

As a person that went through some long depresion this past year (and even before so), due to a lot of dissapointments in people close to me, and severa things around my life. I can tell you that I understand your feelings towards this new year.

But you know what, once I stoped focusing on the things that I was not getting but I wanted, and payed attention to the few great things I did have, And some others that were close enough but I cared less to noticed them. Things looked a lot more bright, and life seemed to have a meaning. There was actually something out there to wake up every morning for.

One of those things to me was conventions, and to be honest MFF was probably the best of all, and it wasn`t the convention itself, but the people that made it amazing. Like you and all the others I had the priviledge of meeting and sharing nice talks with ^^

Try to relax, give yourself a bit of time, try new things, enjoy the moments (no matter how simple, dumb or short they might be), if possible look at things from another perspective (like an innocent child looking at the world for the first time), forget for a while what others think or expect from you, right now you matter more than most things and your happiness is very important ^^

If you ever need someone to talk to, I`ll gladly help ^^ I should be around

Take care friend ^^ *Panda Hugs*

Vix, I thank you too. I will have to count the blessings I have such as having such good friends like you, Rikku, Inola and the rest. It was a big pleasure to meet so many new friends at MFF and I hope I can make more this year.

I know I need to be more positive and look at the wonderful things out there. Yes, enjoy the small things in life because those usually have a lot more meaning to them than the big ones.

*big hugs as well*

*Smiles*

That`s the spirit! ^^ You would be amazed of how strong can the sum of small joyful moments can be, even more than a big bad experience.

Enjoy a cup of coffee (or your favorite drink) while staring at the streets or some park, sit down in a bench with a gentle breeze running through you with a faint nature scent while watching some beautiful sceneario, have a nice long chat with someone you haven`t seen in a while and remember good times, finally be able to enjoy that game you wanted to play for ages or watch a special movie that moves your mood (trust me, crying does help even if it is for some lousy good for nothing drama or romantic story). Hear an awesome song with headphones and close your eyes and let your imagination roam free in the vast places of your mind.

Well, hehe, you get the idea :P

Maybe someday you will be able to watch a tree leaf fall in the wind and be amused like never before and think.... life is great and I am here enjoying it.

Take care friend,and really hoping to spend some nice time at the next MFF ^^
