i feel so strange looking at the built up of notifications and reading the names of artists i loved so much. the journals especially hit my heart pretty hard because so many of you are no longer active on this site anymore. deviantart will always be special to me. i used to obsess over giving llamas and the searching for emojis, stamps and journals and icons that i liked. i really feel the internet is a place that people can have their best fleeting memories. i feel like i’m a different person right now and that kinda makes me sad. i don’t know if i miss the old site more or my old self. i cannot thank you all enough for all the amazing things you have given me. There are many of you who I need to thank who won’t get to read this because you’re no longer here. But that’s okay. Deviantart gave me exactly what i needed in those times i needed it. it was friends, an also an aesthetic I still fondly miss so much. I’m incredibly happy at this point of my life, I have a lot of people that love me and life is pretty sweet. even though you might not be making art right now or writing I hope you never lose your love of finding beautiful things. i’ve spent so many hours searching for new things to love. but it all has been really remarkable. even the messed up and weird art had a place here and i find that kinda nostalgic. there are many things that made my da experience what it is, and many users who became my friends. you touched my heart and i’ll love you for it. try not to die hugs :hugs: :huggle:
I saved this on sta.sh on August 7, 2020 and didn't upload it here because it seem too final and I wasn't ready yet. But now I think I am.
