I don't usually get a chance to do these. I've been away from furaffinity for quite a while, despite the occasional post on another person's page. But here's a little kickstart to my journals so you guys can know a bit more about me and what I've been through.
This may not be easy for me to write, but I'm going to try it.
By the way, in few instances I may address a group of people rather than one person. It's my meme. I do what I want. : P
One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now <<<Today
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession
1. You guys are some of the best friends I've ever had. You're the reason I have found a lot more hope in my life, and my friendship with you occurred right after one of the worst periods of trial and torment I've ever had in my entire life. You've always been there when I've needed you and though I know you may struggle with the relationship between each other sometimes, know that I am here to be your loyal and supportive friend who loves you deeper than I can ever express with words. I believe that our friendship isn't just for us and that we can bring together others through our positive example. I truly believe that.

2. You're one of my best friends I've ever had. I'm thankful we ever met each other. Though I know you've had bad luck in life with a lot of other things, I'm so glad we met. I know we joke back and forth about being "bromegos" and "brotatoes," but know that I do that because I want you to know how much I care. I just really hope that one day I can help you find a job and you can pursue your life dreams. You really are very skilled and a better person than you think. I just wish you would realize that and take the initiative to find that special thing in your life that makes you truly happy.
Also, here's an accurate depiction of our relationship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcIjFeWE4fE
3. I love you very much, but I really wish you would respect my desire to remain single and celibate. I respect your relationships and others around me, but that doesn't mean I have to emulate them. I know that you try your best to respect me and show me love too, but this world is harsh and there are too many forces that think partnering-up is the ultimate goal of every person and if you don't do it, something is "wrong with you." I don't agree with that, and I need more people to understand how important my life mission is to help others. I don't want to be with anyone. I hope you fully understand one day.
4. You hurt me worse than anyone ever did before. And that was because even then I was surrounded by others who betrayed my trust, but at least tried to be my friend for a long while. You lured me into a vulnerable position and then lied to me, used me and pretended like I did something wrong. That just because I'm more feminine in my expression and pursuits than most, that you'd rather have a chauvinist than me. I couldn't believe you said that. I carried that pain for years and to this day, still haven't removed all the shrapnel from that impact. Even though I saw you again, I still don't know if I can ever tell you everything, because I don't think you'll ever understand how much you hurt me. And I don't know if you'll ever change. And the sad thing is: you are a good friend. You just weren't a good friend to me and that prejudice hurts so much. I forgave you...but the pain still appears sometimes.
5. You were such a good friend. We explored many things together (and some that I do regret), but our differences started to become too much. And the defining moment came when i needed you and your experience to help me stop from making a bad decision, but you said nothing. I know it's not really your fault. I should've asked you, but I was too inexperienced to know WHAT and WHEN to ask. And after you said that you thought I would fall hard, I felt like you could've done something ahead of time to warn me. And afterwards, your life...just got too much for me to watch. I can't live the way you do. And if I'm going to help people, I can't be like you. Even in the slightest, because I'm trying to speak for those who want to say "No," and not those who already say "Yes."
6. I can never fully express how much I respect you and your mate. You two have been so incredible to me despite all the hardships you've ever gone through. So many times I've wished I had something to give to you to help relieve that pain and burden of living you both go through. So many times I just want to drop a supply crate filled with money, or a new car, or some inspirational something at your house. I want to show up at your place unannounced and surprise you with something beautiful to let you know there's still people who care in the world and that furries may deal with tough times, but this fandom, and my friends, matter to me. And you both are such an inspiration to the rest of us and I don't believe you ever get enough recognition or love from the others. But I truly wish that you did and when my wild west fantasy story (hopefully) gets a chance at being published, I want you both to be some of the first ones who get the opportunity to be vital editors in its creation. I love you both. I want you to know that.
7. Wow, I cannot express how much I care about you. You're one of my longest and most trusted friends. You have a better job than I do and a life that...okay that's the thing. I support you, but you remember what my life was like before. And you're living what I originally wanted, but I can't have it anymore. I feel that if I went down that life path again with that type of expression, I would suffer even worse than before. And I'd waste a lot of time. I...don't know how to tell you about the life you're living. I think it will hurt you, but you're allowed to do what you want, but the sad thing is, you seem to be immune to the effects of such a life and I was not. I feel if I tell you anything, you'll pull away, cause this has been something you've talked about long before you ever experienced it. I don't know what to say. I want a better life for you, but it seems as though nothing is really happening to you (that I know about), even though I think you could do better. I don't want to ever lose you.
8. I'm sorry I couldn't be the helper you wanted. Though I may seem weak sometimes, I really am trying to do what's best for everyone. My emotional intelligence is higher than I can explain to most individuals and I see a map of emotion-based navigation between those I care about. I use that map to determine what the best options are, even if it doesn't seem like the best decision at the time. And yes, I've been hurt by a lot of people and even those close to me, but when I make a breakthrough with that individual and a promise, I do what I can to stick by that. I really hope you can see that and ask me for help again in the future when the opportunity doesn't put my relationships in jeopardy.
9. Ohmygosh you like FOXES? And GOTHIC LOLITA? ANDDDDD Fairy tales, writing stories, and theatre? SUPER BEST FRIENDS! You've inspired me so many times and encouraged me in so many tough spots throughout my life. Gosh, you are one of the best friends I've ever had! The fact that you respect my feminine side means a lot to me and I feel so safe talking to you. I trust you more than most, because you've earned it!
10. Buy me a (my little) pony and I will snuggle the heck outta it. What, just cause a furry is single and celibate he can't snuggle sometimes? Don't judge me.

Oh, have you seen the Gothic Lolita Bible? It's a really cool book that's totally in Japanese, but has lots of beautiful costumewear. I found my copy of this magazine at a bookstore, but you can find some examples online.
My favorite pony is Luna because I empathize with her attitude. The fact that she was sent to the moon for a thousand years makes it easy to empathize with her. I can only imagine what it must've been like in solitude for that amount of time. Luna is the fan favorite of many mlp fans, it seems.
I put that last number 10 in there as a joke. A friend of mine already got me a Rainbow Dash plush. I just like pointing out how much of a pony fan I am. And I would totally snuggle those ponies if they were here with me right now.
