darknessyin and  snippythedeliveryfox both surprised me with very amazing gift arts that I really, really could ever have imagined I was getting a couple of days ago. I can't thank those guys enough for the art, but even more so I can't than these guys, and all of you guys, enough, for supporting me up to my 20th birthday, you guys are the absolute best! I really can't find any more words to describe it!

I'm serious, I NEEDED to have you guys, I NEEDED to be a furry. You guys have made this day the absolute best, on a day I had to work. And you guys have seriously, found so many ways to lift me up when I'm upset, my self confidence is just, at a whole new level now! And after all of that, you gave me realistic advice as well, and support, and well, pretty much parented me sometimes so I could actually pick up my feet, take action, and not fear the consequences. If I hadn't have done that, I wouldn't have had the confidence boost I have now. If II didn't have hte art community, I would have easily pushed too hard and in the wrong directions, that I would have even given up on it as a hobby. No, in reality, my soul searching is nearly over, and for the first time in years, possibly in a decade or so, I feel like I'm comfortable in my skin, and I feel like I know what that skin even is for once.

I want to say, thank you for making my 20th birthday so great, and thank you all for being there for me. I hope one day I can return the favor and make you all proud <3
