Thank you - 1 year of joy

Tomorrow it has been exactely a year since I started this account. You don't have to read all of this, but if you do, you really deserve a cookie this time. I used to have another account before this one, but after a  year I realized that I didn't actually have any friends and the art I was uploading really wasn't up to the standards that I wanted it to be... I also realized my love for Shadilver, but I was terrified to upload anything involving Shadilver. Like I said, I didn't really have any friends on that account and no one knew who I really was, but for some reason I felt like I was being a  shame to the world for just uploading a picture of Shadow hugging Silver...

So I just said to myself "You know what? I'm going to start over. I might have made misstakes in the past and I might not have been able to upload what I've wanted because of fear of judgement, but I'm leaving all of that behind me now."

"If I create an account where NO ONE knows who I am..then they're technically not judging ME....right?"


I was so extremly shocked when I uploaded the first devitation on my new account, "xshadilverx". People were welcoming me, saying that they were glad to find another Shadilver fan, and hoping that we could be friends. I hadn't really had any friends for a year on my other account, and suddenly, during the FIRST day on my new account, I immidiately get new friends. The Shadilver community was just so welcoming.

Now I've uploaded almost 400 devitations. Most of them being Shadilver, which I used to be so terrified of uploading. Because of my friends' and other people's support I was able to be who I wanted to be, without people hating me. And that some people hate me, who cares. Why should I waste my tears on a random hating person, who wouldn't dare to say a word if we met face to face.
I have my friends. They are the people who I'm willing to waste my tears over. The only difference is that it would be tears of joy.

I'm gonna stop before this gets extremly corny(which it already has)

What I'm trying to say here is "Thank you". Thank you for the friendship, respect and overall for letting me be who I really am. Thank you for this amazing year, which will hopefully go on to becoming more than one.
