I've been here for what feels like a lifetime! ok 7 years but I didn't start becoming all that active until about 3 yrs ago. I have been going back through those early days re-reading so many beautiful and support comments from well complete strangers! many which in fact turned into dear friends though

I guess, I am feeling a bit nostalgic since things have changed a bit here (I know sooo many people who agree with a noticeable change so I'm not the only who who has been effected by this unknown 'shift' in things and the inability to 'be seen' is a struggle more and more - regardless of quality of work) I have lost 4-5 beautiful friends I've made on this site, some gave me their reasons for leaving others simply have a strike through there name. Going though past messages there are more strikes than those without..

It is a bit of a lonely feeling but I hope to make some new beautiful friends though! and hold on to the ones still here because the communication and support given here on Da is the best thing ever! and I love it.

So I don't know if I've been appreciative enough to those who had taken their time to comment me and show their support for my work - I always tried to reply though!
Thank you Deviantart!! What a positive community this place can be

Although things have changed for me here, I will always be here
don't be shy, and feel free to stop by and say hi
