It's Amauna, How have you been FA?
Posted 7 years agoHey guys, it's been a long time! Things have been... really crazy. I've been off FA for four years. I miss everyone. While it probably doesn't matter much to a ton of you I have been - and to an extent still am - coping with a lot of things that have greatly affected my mental state. I have had some very dear friends who have helped me through some of these issues. I definitely want to get back into doing art. I have felt very lost these past few years. Afraid of pushing myself too far. It's been a struggle just to wake myself up in the mornings. I don't want to go too far into detail as that would be way too long. But I wanted to try to become closer to the community again. It's been far too long since I've done art, and I may never get back into it. All I know is that I have missed how warm and wonderful and caring everyone was before I suddenly disappeared. I'm sorry for that. Thank you to those who understand.
-AmaunaThanksgiving Holiday Trip!
Posted 11 years agoThis year I invited to spend Thanksgiving with my boyfriend and his family! He picked me up Wednesday and we drove to Illinois, which is such a pretty place! Of course, beautiful people make it better and I was so glad to meet all the wonderful people I did! I was extremely happy to spend a few days with my sweetheart 
and his wonderful family who were all so welcoming! I felt right at home and enjoyed playing board games, laughing at jokes and getting to know everyone!
As an added bonus I got to meet a few fellow furs, so thank you
and 
! You were all so funny, happy and kind and I thoroughly enjoyed all of your bright smiles!
Even though the time was short I had a blast and while it's nice to be home I really miss my baby and I can't wait to visit again!

Been too Long FA!
Posted 11 years agoIt's been way too long since I've been on FA guys! Just wanted to say howdy and that I miss all of you, all of my friends! Life is just rather busy and there is a lot changing for me. I have had my hands full with family matters and most of you know what that usually entails. xP
Anyway, short update is short but I didn't fall off the face of the earth and I do still care about all of you I just have other more pressing matters to attend to.
Ciao all!

Okay. I need a bit of help.
Posted 11 years agoIt's taken me a long time to open up about this. A few years. But I don't know what else I can do to get out of my current depression. I need some advice.
Here's what my depression stems from:
My feelings lately have been all over the place. I grew up having a best friend who I eventually fell in love with. I was 9 years old when I met him (he was 8) and now I'm 23. By the time I realized I was in love with him he had accidentally got another woman pregnant. A woman I'd warned him was no good for him a year or two before he got her pregnant. I told him he needed to do the right thing, so he married her. We were only 19 and 18 when this all happened.
The worst part is, before he got married to his child's mother, I told him I had a feeling the baby wouldn't live long after birth and that if the baby died that he would know he was meant to be with me. He kept telling me he loved me up until they got married. (I don't know if he actually stopped loving me back or if he thought it was best not to say anymore.) I cut off communication with him a few months after he told me about the pregnancy and after he got married Later I found out through a fellow friend of ours that his child had died 10 days after birth. I feel horrible for knowing and saying what I did - I've always had a strange ability to know things before they happen and I hate that ability more then ever.
All I wanted was for him to be happy, and I wanted him to put full effort into his marriage with his new wife. And I wanted to move on too. I still want those things for both of us. Ever since I cut off communication with him I've started going to school and tried my best to move forward. But I can't really forget. I find myself getting depressed all over again. I've been on anti-depressants (shortly after everything happened) but they didn't really help so I weened off of them. I'm not sure what else I can do to relieve the pain I'm feeling in my heart. Sometimes I cry for no reason about it and it's hard to talk about him or the situation without crying. How do you forget someone after knowing them for 10 years? Does anyone have any advice for me?
Edit: I'm having trouble getting over the conflicting feelings. I am not worried that I'll never find love like that again. I know I will. I'm simply stuck with strange emotions because I never really dealt with the emotional side of it all. I worked and stayed busy to keep my mind from going into those thoughts, and up until recently I haven't had much time to reflect on my personal feelings. Now I have. And I don't really like remembering. Because it's like coping all over again.

Greatest Companion ~
Posted 12 years agoMy friend saw this and sent it to me. He said it reminded him so much of me that he had to show it to me even though he thought it was a bit mean. However, I don't think he knew how much I'd like it, because I strive to be the person who gives my all and is a great friend no matter the circumstance. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:
She's the one you call when you're bored because she makes you laugh. She's the one you talk to when you're feeling down because she's willing to lend an ear and be a friend. She's not the one you call when you need a date for your company's Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night. She's the one you spend time with between girlfriends before you find "The One."
You know, the one who you keep around in the meantime. She's not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don't look at her as a 'real' woman, either. She's not bitchy enough, or moody enough to be seen in that light. She's too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She's too understanding, too comfortable; she doesn't make you feel nervous or excited the way a 'real' woman does. But she's cool, and nice, and funny, & attractive enough that when you're lonely and need female companionship, she'll do just fine.
You don't have to wine & dine her because she knows the real you already, & you don't have any facades to keep up, no pretenses to preserve. You're not trying to get anything of substance out of her, she's not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you, and that she'll give you the friend you need. And you know you don't have to explain yourself or the situation, because she'll be able to cope with the fact that this isn't the beginning of a relationship or that there is any possibility that you have any real romantic feelings for her. It won't bother her that you'll go on a date with the woman you've been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She'll settle for a goodbye hug & a promise to call her & tell her how the date went.
She's just so cool. But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don't because to you, the situation between the two of you isn't important enough to merit any real thought), you know that it's not really fair. You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points & all the fun you two have, you don't think she's good enough to spend any real time with. Sure, it's mostly her fault, because she doesn't have to give in to your needs. She could play the hard-to-get person like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to. But you and she both know that she probably couldn't pull it off. Maybe she's too short, or a little overweight, or has a big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell. Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman.
So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman. You'll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she'll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux. She doesn't captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile. Mainly she blends in with the crowd. She's safe. She doesn't want to be the center of attention or turn the heads of everyone in the room, but she wants to turn someone's head.
She wants to be special to someone, too. We all do. She has feelings; she has a heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger & better heart than any woman you've ever known because she's had a front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, & she likes you anyway. She obviously see's something worthwhile & redeeming in you because although you've given her nothing she gives you everything.
- UnknownWhy'd Things turn Out this Way?
Posted 12 years agoHave you ever missed someone so much it hurts?
Wished they could come back? Wished that
they'd never been taken from you?
I miss my best friend. He was there for me.
Through everything.
He was the one person I trusted with every
bit of myself and I miss him so, so much.
It hurts how much I wish he were here right
now. I can never get him out of my head.
He's always there, lingering. My health,
my sanity. It's steadily declined since
he... since he left.
It feels almost like someone is smothering
me. I can't breathe. It's been three years.
I keep telling myself that someone else
like him will come along but nobody ever
understood me like he did.
Maybe it's because he was there with me,
holding my hand and driving all those hateful
words and all the anger and pain away.
But now he's not here and I feel suffocated.
I can't make the negativity go away. It's all
making his memory fade so fast and I've
nothing left of him. Is something wrong with
my head? Am I actually crazy? I don't know
All I know is that I miss him.Watcher Raffle! Come Win Free Art!

Someone Hit My Car!!
Posted 12 years agoSo... my friend woke me up this morning and told me someone hit my car.
My first response was "no, the front of my car is that way because of the last
Person who hit my car."
LITTLE DID I KNOW that some OTHER ass hat has
Hit my car, torn off the drivers' side mirror and completely obliterated
My front bumper.
Needless to say I'm pissed.
And I can't sleep.
So I'm going to probably sulk for a minute
before getting over it and getting in touch with the nearest
Body shop.
*le sigh*
How the fuck do you hit a parked car?Free Wing its! (Courtesy of Dhalia!)
Posted 12 years agoThere's Something About...
Posted 12 years ago... Love that makes me all happy and smiley in my soul. Maybe it's just me but I love seeing love! It warms me in a way that I can't really describe! I have recently found many of my friends getting married and while it makes me feel a little bit silly when I am hanging out with a giant group of recently married couples, I am so glad they found someone to share the rest of their lives with! They're so in love and it makes me so happy to see them happy! I'm so proud and excited for them all and they absolutely deserve the best!
People in love show me what the small joys in life are, I love you all my dear friends!
I wish the best for each of you too, you know who you are! ^w^
