Face your daylight horrors!

Get up and watch the sunrise, feed the beast within, then face your daylight horrors.
(Except acorns, it is totally fine to avoid those whenever possible. Seriously, they bother me.)

I am an emotional and enthusiastic person, so here there will be feelings! Mostly good feelings, but awkwardly expressed. That is just how I do things.

This is, apparently, my thousandth post. I feel like it merits something special, some kind of celebration, like pictures of frolicking baby elephants or perhaps some fireworks (but not together, elephants hear very well, I do not think they would enjoy it). It is such a staggering number, even considering that there are plenty of reblogs and replies in there. I think you know me well enough by now to expect what this means.

This calls for some talking about feelings!

I have never before participated in any online thing as much as I have here, never been part of a community this actively, never been this deep into a fandom. I have never before been able to connect in this way with this many amazing, wonderful people. And this is why I am here, posting away and having fun with all of you; because you are all really, really wonderful. I love talking with you, I love how we come together and support and encourage each other, how we inspire each other, how we can share so much, how we connect over more than a beloved game.

You help me stay strong, you help me remember that there is still fight in me, you inspire me to improve myself in so many areas, you reach out to me and help me pick myself up when I despair over things, support me when I struggle, cheer me on when I succeed in facing my daylight horrors, you encourage me to try out new things, and I just… I feel like, oh, oh the things you do for me, the things you make me feel. I wish I could do as much for you as you have done for me, support and encourage and cheer you on, help you when you need it, rub your back and give you hugs and reminds you of how wonderful you are, how great you are, how loved you all are, instantly whenever you need it. Right now, I am not able to be there in all the ways I wish I could for everyone I want to be, but you know what? I will try to get there, to the point where I can be able to be there more, to give you more, support and encourage and inspire you more, to give you all the soul hugs ever.

Because I freaking love you all. You are fantastic and wonderful and as much as I love art and writing and games, I am here because of you, I am staying and having such a grand time because of you. I love you people. I honestly, truly do. You make me feel so much, and you give me so much just by being. You have a place in my heart, and oh, what a place it is, what a place you make it.
