First of all pharaoh leap I am so excited about your cat! You have no idea! I wanna hear more as often as I can cause kitties are the best!

Secondly; I spent today thinking about how when I first came to forums I always thought this community was going to be full of toxicity and stuff because of how each different forum seems like it's own little clique, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Each one I've joined I've seen how people immerse themselves, they become a part of something greater and and are fully embraced by this warmth that I've never seen in any other RP environment. Forums are very special, and I love that about them. I'm really glad to have had my thoughts turned up on their head from back then.

I just found out that I'm allergic to dog dander, and this really sucks because I love dogs, and I was about to adopt a dog (next weekend, I had plans to go pick up a pembroke welsh corgi at the local shelter!). It just reminded me of how sacrifices must be made in order to achieve true happiness. So bring on the allergy pills, I'm sacrificing my comfort and I'm going to get me a cute lil pupper!

So I used to be a magician when it came to photoshop color editing, like I could recolor things beyond what anyone would be able to believe, and it was something that I enjoyed doing, but as time went on I started to do it a lot less and less, and this led to me one day deciding to color a manga scan of something for a friend...and realizing I didn't remember my old process, so I have all of these amazing color edits saved in my hard drives and no way to replicate that process, so when others come to me saying "This is so cool, but who did it?" It makes me really sad because my new style is just really gross when compared to how it used to be...the worst part is it feels like I traded those skills for learning stupid things like lazy rendering (rendering made easy so that it only takes about 20 minutes). It's sad because I use rendering more than coloring, but I wish I had the coloring skills still. If I could go back and choose what to harness instead, I'd stick with coloring instead of rendering.

I actually took the first step and walked a mile today. It's the first time I've genuinely taken a long walk outside of my apartment in the year I've lived here, and I'm really proud of myself for it. Normally my introversion keeps me locked inside, but not today!
