Hey everyone...

Yes, I am quite aware of my astronomical amount of inactivity here on FA, but I figured this small update was worth sharing with all of you. I care about you all so I figured it was important to inform y'all of what's going on :33

Anyway, I want to first say that I'm currently finishing my LAST week of school, and I'll be DONE with High School! I'll touch on that more later when it actually happens; but yes, it's the final stretch! Yayz!!!



*Deep sigh* And now let's get to the real reason to why I'm writing this update to begin with:
Tomorrow, @ 2 PM EST, I will be visiting a podiatrist to undergo a minor surgical procedure regarding my feetpaws. I'm not sure I've mentioned this before, but for the past 4 years, I've suffered from severe pain from ingrown toenails, infections and muscle pain. I must say, I am a little nervous about this, yet I'm just SOOO ready for this to be fixed and for the pain to finally cease!

Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated. Remember I did say 'Minor procedure' so it's not a big deal nor is it life-threatening. The worst thing that could happen would be difficulty walking, muscle/tissue damage and the like. Difficulty and damage are indeed possible results, so I don't know what will happen.

I just thought I'd let you all know because, this will be my first surgical procedure in my life, and I am slightly anxious as to what will come out of it. I may be over-thinking this whole thing, but it's hard not to when you're new to something, like a surgery.

Thank you for reading, and I'll be sure to post another journal soon, letting you all know of the result/progress :)

I loves you all, I hope you've all been well and have a great night!

*huggles to all*

Hey! Can y'all do me a big favor and go say Happy Birthday to  grim_ryu ? I'd reeeeeally appreciate that since it'll make their day a whole lot better! :D

Thanks!

Okay, so I plan on attending Anthrocon this year, and that's great and all! Except for a few things.

- This will be my FIRST ever furry convention, so I'm new to all of this.
- What's the best ways to manage money/spending at a convention? (i.e. food, drinks, hotel room, roommates, dealer's den, etc.)

As for related questions such as, 'What do I do since it's my first con? What do I need to follow? What do I need to know?' and things like that, feel free to give advice on those kinds of questions. But, I am planning to attend the "Your First Furry Con" panel once I get there. I'm sure I'll get lots of information from that alone; but still, send me advice if you feel like you need to. (BEFORE you start: I already know the 6-2-1 rule. Kay, thx)

So, those are my biggest concerns.

Just to clarify, in regards to the second question, I am NOT in any way asking for money or donations of any sort. I'm asking in terms of spending the income I already have, on what I need/what I don't need/what to watch out for.

Also to clarify, here are the things I have already worked out, before anyone asks:
- I have a way to get there
- I am not staying at the Westin
- I have one person that I agreed to room with (I know them, so they aren't a stranger)
- I already have a hotel in mind
- I will be 18 before the con
- I have an I.D.
- I have not registered yet but I plan to pre-register online ASAP.

Is there anything I'm missing?

And, if anyone at all could help me out, with any of these things, I'd greatly appreciate it. I've never done this before so I'm quite a newbie at this.

Please, pass this on if you can! I'll need all the help I can get!


Thank you! :3

One of my furends,  Chayce is making hand-crafted knitted hats! You could have one done of your fursona colors :3

This isn't to spam anyone on my watch list; so, I'm sorry if it seems that way. I'm just spreading the word for him, like any fur would do for his furend <3

Thanks! <33

"Everything that my fursona is, is who I am or who I desire to be." -Unknown

*Sighs* Well here we go again. Another monstrously long journal that makes my paws sore for the rest of the day XD
I know a lot of you (myself included) aren't a fan of long reads such as this; so, I'll try and skip all of the "poetry" that often goes into my average journals. Basically, I'll make this as quick as possible :3 (No promises though x3)

Sooo... first and for-most, I'd like to ask, HOW ARE YOU?? How have you been? I know it's been quite some time since I've talked to some of you, and I'm aware of that. And, I have an explanation(s) for my absence later in this journal. Mkay?
So what's been happening? Tell me everything :) (Though I ask that you PLEASE not bring up the topic of this whole "FA Dilemma" that's been going around. I'm already well aware and well informed of the occurrence, so I ask that you skip that particular topic. Enough drama is already too much.) Other than that, tell me what's up :D


Now comes the fun part: What's been happening with this Kittyfox? I just hate talking about me, but here we go anyway.

To start off, I had an excellent holiday season! I know it's a little late for this report but I'm gonna do it anyway :)
I got a lot of neat stuffs, gave some neat stuffs, had lotsa good foods and noms, had a great time with friends/family and it was awesome to ring in this new year! 2014 already?! I remember being only a KitKitten yesterday X3
That's really all I have from the holiday season report. There's more to it but I'm too lazy to type it all :3

As of the present tense, I started my new and final high school semester. Yup, it's my last one before I'm completely graduated and off to a new atmosphere! It's a bittersweet reality, because part of me says, "I'm gonna miss this place and being this age" but the other part of me says, "It's the start of a new beginning! And I am looking forward to the start of a new life!"
Let's hope I can keep that in mind for this coming fall. I'm not sure what will be thrown at me or what I'll come across, but I do know that whatever does cross my path, it's for a reason. Even if it's the most devastating or life-changing experience, I know that I can be shaped/strengthened by it. I feel that's what we all should do when it comes to challenges within our lives.

As for future plans, I can tell you there are MANY!
First, I'm gonna be going to the DMV this coming Tuesday to get my Temporary License! I'm just hoping that I can pass the given tests without any trouble :)
Ummm, I might be getting contact lenses soon (finally! Glasses suck XD)
Next, I did kinda mention this above, but as you have probably gathered already, I am in fact graduating :3 That being said, it's becoming a BIG deal in my household/family. My family is already running around to make the celebration special. (Yeah, they're party people :P) Such as, my diploma, the after grad party, the food, the reservations, the guest list, the Senior trip, and yada yada yada. I'm just wanting to get it all over with because it's quite stressful X3
As for a Senior trip, I haven't made a decision yet. However, I'm thinking of attending comic con. Where do you all think I should go? :))

Other than graduating and all that jazz, the biggest thing I'm looking forward to is.... ANTHROCON 2014! It's looking more and more like I'm able to go! I'm still not 100% sure, since it's still a ways away; but with each passing month, I'm now about 80% sure I'm gonna be going! One reason is, I got my paycheck from last summer's internship; and from doing basic arithmetic, I believe I have just enough to attend AC and have a great time! :D So whoever is going, I look forward to seeing you there!! <3


So, between graduating, driving, anthrocon and contact lenses, there's still more! Hold up a second... *Ices my paws for a few minutes* Whoo! There we go! I'm already getting numb XD

*clears throat* Now comes the more serious part of the journal. Don't worry, it's not dramatic or mushy (At least, not completely :P) I'd just like to let you all know the more personal issue(s) that have come up. They're not TMI or anything; I just feel they're necessary to discuss. Here we go.

First, I'd like to give you ALL an explanation for my absence. That includes, Skype, FA, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
I have recently made another self discovery, and you'll often find these at my age. The real reason why I haven't been chatting or talking with those of you I chat with regularly, and those of you who watch me that I'd love to chat with, is because I found out that I'm simply, Introverted. *Cue gasps* (:P) Really it's not a big deal nor is it something to be worried about. (I just like build ups to seemingly suspenseful moments X3) Anyway, some of you may not know what that means. Some of you probably do, or have a theory of what 'introvert' means. I'll put it plain and simple: Being 'Introverted' means you enjoy or prefer to be by yourself over being with a group of people. The opposite of that is, 'Extroverted' which means you enjoy or prefer to be within a group of people rather than being by yourself.
Some of you might be asking yourselves which one of those fits you; really it doesn't matter. But what does matter is the fact that those two mental standards do, in fact, exist in common everyday human beings. And the best thing to do is to realize that those two things exist, in those you care about. Be they a friend, a family member, a sibling, a best friend, or an acquaintance.

The reason I'm telling you all this, is because I thought you should know the real reason why I may be quiet or inactive at times. I know I'm not the quietest person online, but I do know that there are others that are way more active, or social than I am. And the reason is, I am an Introvert. It's pretty plain and simple. Plus, it gives those of you who I try to contact regularly, an explanation for my 'disappearances'. I hope you guys understand and I hope I'm not hurting anyone's feelings. Really, it's not that I'm annoyed by anyone, nor do I dislike any of you. It's far from that! I'm just used to spending my days on my own instead of on skype or facebook. I also tend to lose interest of 'being social' very, very quickly; and I just want to go silent again, after a certain amount of time.
The other reason why I'm saying this is, a couple of months back (around the time I took my hiatus) I was just completely drained! It was a scary thing to experience and I felt like I could barely even function. I knew something was definitely wrong, and that's why I took a break from everything for a while. As it turns out, the problem was, I was mentally over-stepping my limit in being social. On the internet and real life; so I took a break. And now that I have a clear enough answer to that scary occurrence a few months back, I think it's best that I just take things sloooow and steady, from now on. Meaning, not overworking myself by socializing online or in real life. Sure, it was easier a couple of years ago, but that's only because I was really lonely at the time. And now that I have such wonderful furs to keep me company and who are always there, it's just been a bit overwhelming to keep up with all of you. Which is what resulted to my little "breakdown".
So, now I'm gonna make a compromise. From now on, if you're looking to talk with me, and if I don't reply at all or reply very soon, please keep in mind what I just explained. At times I'm just plain busy with school, work and such, and other times I just need to take the day to 'recharge'. Okay? :)
Really, I love you ALL! Don't get me wrong. And there's nothing wrong with me or you. It's just my mental stability has a preference and a limit to socializing. Really, I hope that's clear enough and I hope I didn't just ramble on :P

As for applying this to a furry convention, I can honestly say that I'm going to do my best to be social with those of you I will meet and the new furs that I'm gonna meet at a con or a meetup, IRL someday. I can handle a few days without driving myself crazy :3 That being said, if you see me, don't let the fact of my introversion stop you from coming up to me and saying hi! In fact, you can give me a hug too! It's no problem :) (Unless I'm running to the bathroom and then it's a problem XD)


So yeah. That's out of the way :) I hope that wasn't too long nor too hard to take in. I was simply stating personal facts, and I hope it was clear enough :3


That's really all I have to say for this journal! Again, I hope you're doing well, and again I apologize for my absence here, there and everywhere. But at least you now know why <33

I look forward to talking with some of you, meeting you at AC or something, and simply seeing things here on FA and other places! I do enjoy you all, and what you have to say/do! I really appreciate your watches/comments and support you've given me for 2 years now!! And I'm hoping/looking forward to greater years to come! :D

Anyway, I'mma go take a nap now, kay? :3

*group hugs you all* Stay fuzzy fuzzies! And also, stay warm during this polar invasion X3

A wonderful video by:

Hi! :3

How have you all been?

I would make a recap journal about what I did/saw down in the sunshine state but I decided that I'm just gonna post the pictures I took, instead of writing ANOTHER long journal. Sound good? :)

Anyway, I'm back now, and I'm sunburnt X3


How is everybody? <3 I missed you all! :3

Hey all!

Just a quick update letting you all know that I'll be in the Sunshine State for the rest of the week. That being said, I won't be taking many communication devices (Thanks to airport TSA -.-) so don't expect to see me on FA, Skype, Facebook, etc. I hope those of you who I chat with regularly understand :3

Other than that, I hear MFF is this weekend so it's my every hope, for those of you that are attending, THAT YOU HAVE THE GREATEST TIME EVER! :D

I look forward to hearing all about it, and seeing all the cute and fuzzy submissions when I get back! <33


So that ish all. Thanks for your time in reading this :)

And as always, I will see youuuuu, in the next journal... BYE BYE!!!! :33

<3 Samson~

I JUST HIT 200 WATCHERS!

Thank you sooooooo much everyone! I wouldn't be here now and wouldn't have hit this milestone if it wasn't for all of you!

And, I wouldn't be the kittyfox I am today if it wasn't for you all! So thanks!! :33

Love you all! *big hugs for all 200 of you* <333

HEADS UP: Before you begin reading this, I want to bring to your attention that what you're about to read will be LONG! Just a warning just in case you're feeling TL;DR today.

Thank you and enjoy!

Oh hello, you're looking well!

It's nice to see you after this long hiatus. Please, take a seat and we shall begin! (If you're already sitting, then ignore that last part :P)

I really don't know where to start. So much has happened, so much is going to happen in the future and there's so much I want to say that it's hard to begin with something. I'll do my best, so don't be surprised if it seems like I'm rambling on and on.


I'm sure those of you who read my previous journal are wondering where I've been. Of course I haven't been gone completely. I've been Tweeting, checking Facebook and Youtubing here and there; but I haven't been on FA, Skype or chatted with some of you in over a month! Some of you know already that I took a hiatus to clear my head, take a much-needed break and to focus more on school. There's been highs and lows through the time I was gone, but all and all I'm really glad I took the hiatus. It helped me SO MUCH that I'm pretty happy about the outcome (Everyone needs a break once in a while. Even a KittyFox). School has actually been going pretty smooth, I was able to get my time/thoughts sorted out and I accomplished a lot from what I've seen. I also took some time during the end of October to have some Halloween fun and to reflect on my time in the fandom (I'll get to both of those later in the journal). I also came to some conclusions, that I'll talk more about later in the journal. Bear in mind some of the things I'm going to mention might upset some of my furends, watchers, contacts, etc. But they need to be said. Other than all that, there are some future things that I'm looking forward to! (Again, I'll get to those later in the journal).

Those are really the highlights of my hiatus. They may not sound very exciting, but that's really all that happened.


And now for specifics :3


First I want to talk about my Halloween. I'm sorry I wasn't here to celebrate it with you all; I can tell it was pretty fun considering the submissions and videos I've been seeing! I hope you all had a great one! I do know it's a special holiday for furries (Cuz of candy, spooks and fursuits :3). Here's what I did: I went to a small costume party in my local community and I didn't know what to go as. I actually didn't fursuit! I know, it's crazy! I fursuited last year so I figured I'd go in a costume that I wouldn't get super hot in this time. So... I decided to go as PewDiePie. (Don't judge me X3) [for those of you who don't know who that is, you probably didn't laugh. Sorry XD] I thought it would be fun since I have a Scandinavian face already. All I had to do was draw a beard on my face; so it was an easy last minute costume! And to make things more interesting, Slender Man showed up at the party! What are the odds?! The good news was, he wasn't the real Slender. All in all, it was a fun night. I got recognized by a good amount of people because of my costume so it was a success!

That was my Halloween! :D


Next I want to talk about the benefits the hiatus has brought. There is a lot to talk about considering it's been a long time! I'll try and remember all that I can that hopefully gives you a small picture of what good has come of this. I gotta say, it was certainly the right choice to take one; I could really tell there was a lot on my plate that I needed to clean off. And activity on here and other places just seemed like way too much to handle. That being said, I feel rested. :) On top of that, I just want to mention that I did learn some things along the way. When you're on a break from a busy part of your life, you have time to think. One thing I did learn is, that no matter what happens in your life, whether it's good, bad, heartbreaking, overwhelming, etc. it's merely just a plot twist in your life-story. The best things you can do with that plot twist is to learn from it, understand it and/or realize that it's now in the past and all that is ahead is the future. When we really understand that, things and opportunities really open up for each of us. It's up to us to control ourselves and to realize what the right thing to do is in our lives; and no one else can control you, but you. Life is a precious gift, and you only get one chance at this kind of a life! Make it the absolute best you can because it's not worth wasting! That is pretty obvious but I never truly understood what it really meant until recently.

So those are the good things that resulted! And I'm glad they happened :)


The next thing I want to tell you all is about my time in the fandom. It has now been 2 years and 2 weeks since I first discovered the fandom; and today marks 2 years even, that I've been on FA! I just have to ask, where did all the time go?? It seems like such a short time ago since I found this life changing place! I'm going to go into a brief recap of my time here in the last 2 years. It was the evening of October 27th, 2011 that I had found a Hater video (of all videos) that was basically sabotaging furries! And long story short, that lead me to find and watch a REAL explanation of what the fandom is, and what it isn't. After getting a general idea, that's when I learned about fursuits, conventions, the community and the immense love and care that is found in the fandom. It wasn't just those things that I found to be pretty amazing, but also that was the day I found a real sense of belonging! And before that I'd never really felt that before. I'd tried a lot of things to see where I stuck and a place that I would enjoy for a long time; I never truly did, until that night. I truly felt led to this small yet very diverse place, where there's real love, real care and real acceptance (Of course I'm only speaking from my personal experience. I'm NOT in any way trying to say what the fandom "is" or what it "isn't" because I know that there are many other furs that have had widely different experiences than I have. I can't speak for all of us; I can only speak for myself as far as what I think of the fandom). I certainly found that It's a place to be yourself and a place where you can just have a good time! There are not many places left like this in the world. And from that night up until now, I will now say that I am eternally thankful for finding this wild, awesome, crazy and especially FUN fandom! It's a wonderful place to be, and I don't regret a single second of it!
On top of what I just said, I just want to say one more thing: Despite what others say about the fandom/furries, despite the drama, despite the differences or problems you may have with another fur and the many other problems we often come across in this fandom, it still doesn't take away from what the furry fandom is really about! Really, what fandom, group or place is perfect? This is life, were are merely people on this earth; and people cause problems. But they also make good of things! So now, it's up to those of us who care about the fandom to make it the best that we can! We may not know what to do, but at the same time, the answer is so simple: Be there for each other. Since we make up the fandom, it's important to be united to one another in love and community. Like I said before, we only have one shot at this kind of a life, so it's important to make it the absolute best that we can! No matter how much time we may have left.

*Catches breath* Wow that was long! But I assure you, everything I just said came from my heart. It may just be my opinion speaking from my heart, but that's truly what I know through my time in the fandom, so far.


Finally, I'd like to touch on one last thing that I've been thinking about, nearly every single day of my hiatus. I was thinking of ways to explain what I'm about to say. I did mention earlier that I was going to say some things that may upset some of you. Well I'll do my best to explain it as clear and gently as possible. Here we go; I'll just get it all out while it's on my heart. First I want to make it very clear to those I chat with on a regular basis, that even though I may be back, this does NOT mean that I will always have the time to chat. I'm still in school, I still have a busy life outside of the fandom and it's still very hard to stay active; especially during a school year like this! That being said, I advise those of you that I do chat with regularly, to PLEASE BE PATIENT!! I'm only saying this because I know from past experiences that I would get message after message after message from different furs wondering where I am or why I'm not replying. I want to make it clear to those of you who do chat with me, that I'm not in any way ignoring you! I would never even think of doing that! If I don't reply in your preferred time frame, I'm very sorry. I'm most likely in the middle of something, I'm tired from the day or I'm in a situation where chatting isn't an option. It's very important that I tend to my education and those around me that need my time. This doesn't mean I won't reply or chat at all; It just means that it may take me some time to reply or chat. Who knows how long it takes me? Times will vary. So please remember this for when you do want to chat and I don't respond right away. I'd appreciate it! It certainly makes my life easier knowing that I don't need to stress myself over waiting messages. I'm still very much looking forward to chatting with you! There are just times that I cannot. I hope you understand <3



Whew!! My paws are getting sore from typing all of this! I hope it's not too much for you all XD

And now it's time to ask, How are you all doing?? Tell me what's been happening! :D Please feel free to comment below! I want to hear what all of you have been up to! What's new? Anything interesting happening? Updates of any sort? I'm eager to know!

I know I could just look at the journals/submissions that each of you posted but to be perfectly honest, I don't want to XD I just did not want to go through over 5000+ messages! O.o So I had to click the dreaded "Nuke" buttons. I'm so sorry :( But I just didn't want to go through all of them :P (This journal was hard enough to write X3)


So, feel free to comment what you want and I'll be sure to reply to you when I can :3

It's great to be back! I sure missed you all! *group hugs and gives each of you a lick on the cheek* It's good to see you guys again :))

Okay, I'm gonna stop now so I can go ice my paws. Looking forward to talking with you all again!

Take care for now! Love you all! You're all the best fuzzy friends/family ever! :D

<3 Samson ~


P.S. Oh I forgot to mention.. it looks like I'll be going to Anthrocon 2014!! :3
Kay, bye X3

Or a hiatus! Whatever you wanna call it :3

Anyway, yeah it's a pretty simple/self explanatory situation.

Why?
Well, to be perfectly honest, there's a few reasons. A big one is, stress from my final year of high school. I mean, it's do-able and all, but there's just lots of time that is needed to be put into the work. So, activity here, there and the like is kind of an extra "stress adder" to my life, at the moment. Plus, I gotta do my best this year especially, cause I wanna be able to wear that cap and gown with pure accomplishment, next summer :D

Another reason is, I've been kinda on the low side lately (emotionally speaking). It's nothing too bad; just some issues going on that need to be repaired. Annnnnd I'm gonna leave it at that because, I just absolutely hate complaining and stirring up drama of any kind. I mean, why should I trouble you all with my problems when you're dealing with your own? So I'm not gonna use FA for a way to "vent" or complain since I have too much respect for those who are watching me. Plus, complaining/drama doesn't get anyone anywhere or help anything so why do it? :P

Other than those two things that I need to get straightened out, that's really it. So, yeah. No biggie x3


Annnnnywaaaaay... I'mma stahp rambling now so you can get on with your night instead of me wasting your time XP

Btw, I may be taking a hiatus, but that doesn't mean I'll be gone completely! To those of you who have me on Skype, Steam, Facebook, etc. you'll see me pop on once in a while! So please don't hesitate to say hi! I'll probably need it since I won't be on very much :3


Okay....
I guess this is the part where I say my goodbyes for now, until further notice *Sniffles*

Thanks for stahpping by and taking a glance at this! (I hope it wasn't too long :3)

I'll miss you all! Wuv you alllls! <3
*Group hugs* <33

"My heart is heavy..."

"...By the weight of this world..."

*Heavy sigh* Sometimes... we all feel this way.

Hey all!
I just had a quick question for you all. I've been pondering this since my Senior year starts on Monday. I know for a fact I'm gonna be sooooo busy that the year is just gonna fly by fast! I also know that I'm going to have my Senior picture taken at the end of the year, for graduation.

My question is: Would you guys like me to post my Senior picture here on FA for you to see?

I already know most of you have no idea what I really look like and I've kept it that way for personal reasons. But, I'm thinking since this is my Senior pic, it's probably gonna look pretty good! So, let me know if that's something you would like to see! I'd love to hear your opinions and why you want me to post it :)

So let me know! I look forward to it!


Quick update btw:
Just wanna let you all know that I FINALLY got a new computer! So this means I'll be more active with chats, tinychats, games, etc. Let me know if you want to chat and I'll try my best to make time for it! :D

Thankies~!

Hi everyone who +Watches me, follows me, etc.

Once again it's time for the dreaded update journal. So I'll try and make this as short as I can :)

Well to start out, I've been having a great summer! I hope you all have been as well! It's been quite a time off and I'm glad it happened after such a hectic school year! I feel blessed to have had it ;)

Well, now that summer is coming to a close, in comes yet another school year... and it's coming fast! In a way it's a bittersweet reality for me. Bitter because it's gonna be another long year. Sweet because it's my final year of High school! That's right, I'm gonna be a Senior! (Big man on campus X3) I'm really looking forward to this year because it's my final year of high school and my last chance to make it as best as I can! Here's to a successful year <3 So, 2 more weeks and summer is over for me :3

On a slightly more depressing note, I have been going through some relationship upheaval lately. Now mind you, I'm gonna try and be as anti-dramatic as possible because I do not want to bring drama into this, nor do I want to bring any of you down or try to force you feel sorry for me. That's not why I'm here. I'm here to tell you all what's been happening lately, because I know there are those who'd like to hear from someone they care for once in a while <3 You get the point.

Anyway, yes as you have probably guessed, I have recently gone through a breakup with  samhound. (So Zavar, if you're reading this, this is the best way I could think of to break it to my watchers. Sorry if you don't think this is the best way to do it, but hey you gotta do it somehow.) It's been hard but at the same time, he and I both agreed that it's a good idea that we just part because lately it just seemed like we've been disconnected. I'm just soooooo glad that it didn't end on an ugly note and I'm thankful that he and I are still friends! :,) We're still keeping in contact and we still care about one another, so that's good! Due to this, I've decided to look at the positive and not look at the negative reality of the breakup <3 At the same time, this can be a good thing because it gives us both a chance to stretch out a little bit and pursue other things :)
I do feel like it was the right choice, for us both.

So that's the biggie! I'm glad I got that out to let you all know in case, those who knew, were wondering. There you go!

Other than those two things, nothing has really been different. There's been some family/friend situations going on here and there, but hey that happens.

Anyway, on a more positive note, I think I can now safely say that I'm getting to know myself! That may sound crazy or odd but I'm sure some of you have been down this road before in your life as well! What I mean by that is, I'm really taking matters into my own paws, really seeking and trusting God and I'm discovering a lot that i didn't know about myself! I mean it's like, lately there have been soooo many physical, mental and very noticeable changes I've been seeing; and the good news is, they're positive changes! The furry fandom was just the start, and from then on I've been digging up hidden gems that I'm so thankful to have found! I'm not really gonna go into detail of what they are because there's a LOT to mention! So that's really how I can explain it. Just a lot of changes have been happening and I like the way they're looking! I can really see how these can benefit me and especially others in the future! Now I'm really seeing what happens when you put God and others before yourself <3

To close out this journal, I'd like to share a few things with you all...

The first thing is, I recently learned something: Life is FULL of trials! And a lot of times, we can feel downed and defeated from them. But let me just say this one thing when it comes to trials: Trials shape your character. Without your character, you wouldn't be who you are. However, it's the choices you make in the midst of those trials that is the character shaper. So, next time you come to a trial, think about what you're gonna do. Are you gonna let it take you down and you never get up? Or are you gonna get back up and keep trying?

That's one thing that's been on my heart lately and I really hope it got you thinking.

The second and last thing I'd like to share, is a song. You can choose to listen to it if you'd like; but I'd encourage you to take a listen. I've been listening to this song a lot, because I feel it's what describes my attitude as of now; due to the breakup and the trials that I've been facing:

I hope you enjoyed it and got the message :)

I really hope you all are doing well and I hope that life's been good to you!
I'll catch you all later and I hope you got the point of this journal.

Love you all and I'm thinking about you all every day! :3
