Hey guys
I'm REALLY sorry I havent spent a whole lot of time here lately. So much has been going on in the past few months and I tend to forget. But I've missed you guys a lot and there is so much I want to say.
I've had a lot of good things happen to me over the past year or so. I've grown as a person and have been given some amazing opportunities. One of them being a full scholarship to a summer residency program at my top art school of choice. Whenever I think about how far I've come as both an artist and a person, I always come to the conclusion that it started here, with this place and all of you.
Finding this place was a miracle for me. There was a time when I thought being so passionate about a movie like CWACOM was the strangest thing ever. Little did I know I would come across a place like this among thousands of google results for "cloudy with a chance of meatballs sequel". When I first saw the posts, it was like my own mind was being projected in front of me. These people spoke my language! It wasn't until after I joined when I would learn what fandom was and that there were so many. And it wasn't until I found deviantart through this forum when I would realize I wanted to create my own stories and characters.
I've seen a lot of things in the past four years, some good, some bad. But nothing could ever compare to this place. There is so much I'm grateful for- the roleplays, the discussion, the sequel hype and making 2013 an incredible year for me- but I can't seem to put it all into words. Thank you. Just...thank you all so much.
Once again, I'm sorry for the inactivity. I might be pretty busy over the next couple months, but don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
