π₯³π₯³WE MADE IT TO 1 WHOLE YEARπ₯³π₯³ I will be honest, when I started on here, I didn't think I'd make friends, or even be a good artist. Because, the whole reason I joined was because I am a pretty good irl artist and I wanted to share that with others around the world. And, at first I did doubt myself because I didn't think people would like what I posted (especially since I used to post 5-6 times a day) but, it ended up being worth it.

When I first started, (I know this'll sounds old fashioned or like a sob story but just keep up with me here lol it's an interesting storytime), I did HORRIBLE on my first work (LITERALLY I didn't color in the eyes, the braid colors were off, it was just really bad) but anyways, overtime I actually got inspired from people who get like 200-300 likes daily, so I learned how to shade and do more techniques from them and ever since then, I've been doing nothing but improvements.

But, I wasn't just improving off of here though, I took art for like 3 years and that alone taught me a lot, so I wanted something to improve more on and for coping also. Besides improvement, this app also helps with coping with anx!ety, dealing with family issues, stress, and to just color overall when you really love it. There were times where I was stressed, or have been anx!ous about things (not gonna go into detail) and when I just colored either here or irl (sometimes when I'm writing)-

I feel a lot better and it helps me calm my nerves. Something else I also doubted was making friends on here (not gonna lie when I tell you I doubted I DOUBTED) the way my mindset goes, I'm always used to things not working out or not being able to receive love (whether that be from friends or from really anyone) so when people I know tell me stuff they like about me or just like me (for example), it may not seem as much to you, but to me that means a whole lot. Usually, I always think the worse

Literally ALWAYS I'm just like "yup this isn't gonna work" and stuff like that but then it's like when something good happens, it's usually very rare for me VERY RARE

And the reason is gonna sound stupid but imma say it anywayss (already embarrassed myself enough πππ€π½) it's not because I thought people weren't gonna like me, but because I was scared and insecure. I thought people were gonna take my pics and I felt ugly when I did it the first time, but honestly when you think about it, people don't really care in a way ig because people aren't looking like that (well...to those who stare, if you aren't ykw explain yourself ππ frrr plsss lolllll)

Usually, I always think the worse in situations, for example; people may not want to be friends with me, people may not like me (I know this is an unhealthy way of thinking or this is a bad habit but if I could explain, believe me I would), people wouldn't be interested in ME, people would think I'm too worried or insecure (the reason I say this is because when people tell me certain things like "you're really nice" for example, I'll say "noo you" because I'm not really used to-

Now that was a little irrelevant but sometimes that's how I think. And when I had all of those doubts, I ended up making great friends on here who accept me for who I am and not just for what I do. I may have not known you my whole life or irl (I have people like that too love emmm) but I can tell you guys love me a lot (as you should ππβπ½). Something else that's gonna be soo irrelevant is when I actually changed my pfp to how I look.

Soo another thing I experienced being on here, was finding my soul mate and learning a little something called "love". Honestly, I'll be real, I gave up on love multiple times but that's because nothing was ever happening and no one did anything so I thought "might as well be single the rest of my life yk?" However, I didn't expect things to take a turn. Like I previously mentioned, I ALWAYS go for the worst. And when it comes to love, even though no one has ever c0nfessed to me (even irl)

Iykyk, I always thought that like he wasn't showing any hints but lowkey he kinda was (I am soo proud to just be in his bio like π€§) like he had a thing for me y'all (iyk you better say something CUZ YKKK). But no fr, that is also another day another post (seriously loll ππ«π₯°β). But yea, I made friends, met my soul mate (not my "soul mate but like you know what I mean right??? It's not that deep yet π) people staring at my pfp ("L" does that EVERYTIME because he's OBSESSED π«)

HE IS SO FINE like when I tell you HE IS FINE πππ. I have NEVER EVER felt this way about somebody until I saw this boy (I'm being like fr fr ππ) he's like my bestie and all and we clicked the MOMENT we met. Honestly, I actually heard of "L" before we met, I just didn't say anything. But, I had seen him several times and I'm like "who's this person??" So, I discovered him and crossed his page, and he is like such a good artist you guys like fr fr (ππ) but anyways... lollll

And the reason is because I'm so used to people just like not liking me ig (probably because I've never really had a crush on anyone my whole life soo..πππ€π½). Idk it's weird, but it ended up being the opposite. If you're one of my girls, then yk EXACTLY who I'm talking about, because I talk about this boy EVERY DAY (I can't even ππ) but lemme explain, I do have my doubts but lemme tell you when I say that "L" (we're gonna call him that for now cuz I'm not gonna include his @ for his sake
