You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand

When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in

KEEP HOLDING ON
Cuz you I'll make it through (we'll make it through)
Just stay strong
Cuz you know I'm here for you (I'm here for you)

possibly long post

WHEW. OK. GUYS. This is probably my most important and loved picture TO DATE.

Kash is surrounded and held close to a tight-knit group of friends I've made along the years, the closest thing to an actual family she's ever had.

To her left, lounging comfortably beside her is Dordano , who is intelligent, loyal, and ever-loving, even with his awesome power of being able to fight back with everything! He's gonna take over the world someday, I know it.

To her right, she has her arm wrapped around her youngest sister/companion, Tsuta . I don't even remember where or when we met but we've been best of friends and comfort each other when needed and laugh with each other all the time. She's quirky, headstrong, and a trooper who deserves so much love.

And right by Kash's side, where she belongs, hugging her sister close, is Angie . Let me tell you guys. We have been the BEST BEST BEST of friends for a long 14 years, and I don't think I have to tell you guys that that's fucking amazing seeing as we're both in our 20's. That's MOST OF OUR LIFE. Angie is the sunshine in my life and constantly keeps me on my toes. She brings a spring to my step whenever she walks through my door and we're never angry at each other for very long. She knows everything about me and me about her and I wouldn't trade her for all the gold, money, and throw-away-items in the world.

THIS IS ONLY MY DA FAMILY AND BARELY THAT. We all met OFF of DA and Angie's been my BFF IRL forever. I met Dordano on WoW. And I swear Tsu you need to remind me when we met cuz we've been hanging out so long I DONT REMEMBER HAHAHAHA

But srsly these are just people that have DA or fursonas I can draw that are part of my family.

Sammy
Kat
Arien
Sawyer
Bacon
AND SO MANY OTHERS

You are my brothers, my sisters, my motherly figures, the wise knowing fathers, my cousins, my nieces and nephews and SO SO MUCH MORE. You are my FAMILY.

You guys keep me going and going so strong when I'm a pessimist and let the world cave in around me. NO you're THERE, holding up the walls, the cornerstones of my life and there's so many of you that I feel like I've been living the luxurious life in a mansion made for kings. You guys remind me to be me, and that no one can change me, and you've accepted and loved me for who I am, quirks and all.

And I can't thank you enough (oh here i go i'm crying while i'm typing this cuz it's all true GAWD).

I really can't.

but.


THANK YOU. THANK YOU FROM THE DEEPEST PART OF MY HEART.

I LOVE YOU ALL.

And these three:

KEEP BEING AWESOME.
KEEP STANDING STRONG.
KEEP HOLDING ON.

Because
WE.
ARE.
FAMILY.

And NO ONE will ever take that away from us. EVER.

<3
