It's late at night right now, but I wanna thank everyone for all the birthday wishes and for those who have drawn my character as a birthday gift (I am surprised with how Mikaela is becoming like a fan favorite here. ^-^ ๐Ÿ’– I didn't expect it, and it's awesome because I haven't drawn or elaborated her story since 2018โ€” especially a few weeks after creation. It warms my heart a lot that the lore(s) I give out are interesting and that they are enjoyable to read and draw.)

To be honest, I didn't expect this amount of love. I was very sentimental last night. I usually don't cry out of joy, but eh... ๐Ÿ˜… It was overwhelmingโ€” in a beautiful way. Because I kinda dread birthdays in the sense that, as I've grown older, the lonelier life would become. I am not an extroverted person to begin with, and that's okay. But battling with both physical and mental health can get intenseโ€” and having a lot of falling-outs throughout the year didn't help it. So every simple thing has to look precious in order to maintain sanity, so to speak. And I kind of had the expectation that I was going to have a bit of a solitary birthday.

But, yesterday I had an amazing time in real life. The amount of best wishes and surprises I got here and outside of social media was lovely. It was a gigantic smack-in-the-face type of reminder that I am happy to be here. I'm glad that I made it this far. It's so good to see that you are appreciated when oftentimes you feel like you have no worth, no future, and think that you are underserving of great things. That you have nothing of value to contribute. So recieving these messages have been extremely refreshing. Because I try my best to be selfless and a positive influence to friends, mutuals, family... Simply because I loathe the pain. Everyone should know they're precious and gorgeous. So being reciprocated with love, I dunno... it just catches me off-guard and I get happy and emotional.
I am probably not making sense in this; it's long-winded, cheesy, and strange. But I really wanted to take this time to say thank you and that I really love and appreciate you guys. This has been amazing. I am glad to have met such talented people here, and befriended them. I cannot stress this enough and I feel like a broken record. But augh... I wish there was a better way to express gratitude without coming across as lovebomby.

Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful day/night. Take care. I am not going away just in case. I only wanted to let this out ๐Ÿ’•
