With the passing of jasentamiia and the shutting down of xenolugia150's gallery, it seems this community is getting smaller by the moment and it really does make me heartbroken. What makes me even more sad is hearing about people who are either done with the community or are just down a lot of the time. I don't mean to harp on it and, be it an act of God or personal demons, I don't fault anyone for making whatever decisions to maintain their personal stability.

While it seems insensitive to as much as the phrase has been used and despite what the community looks like, I want to remind everyone that you're not alone. While the fandom is growing everyday, people are joining because they are either interested in learning what makes anthropomorphism great or because it was enough to change a mass amount of people into what we are. I may sound young and naive, but being optimistic is a great thing. Our interest and our creative output is what makes this community what it is. While people may join and people may part, we're still the same species through and through(Well, physically speaking :3c ). Talk to them, send them messages, collab with them, have a drink with them, play games with them. The community is still here and we're still growing. There are new things to learn every day about everyone. Socializing is trial and error so don't hold onto your faults and learn from your mistakes. If nothing else, set one goal every day:

Make someone smile.
